I provide a calm and peaceful environment. My style incorporates the pampering you find in resort spa settings to help you de-stress, relax and rejuvenate your spirit, with longer appointment times at a more affordable price.
I'm in my 60's and living my best life ever! I've been married to the love of my life for over 35 years, have 4 fantastic children and 5 grand-furbabies, am a leisure golfer, an avid traveler, and a National Parks enthusiast.
​
Originally from Pittsburgh, PA, I grew up in Central Illinois with my summers filled with endless sunshine, softball games and working in the corn fields. I came to the Chicago area in 1989. Some of my work life experiences have included advertising, public education, office management and spa management.
​
I had always grown up with the belief that there was power in human touch, and from an early age bought into the philosophy of teachers such as Felice Leonardo ("Leo") Buscaglia who promoted the value of something as simple as a human hug and its healing benefits.
Being an esthetician joins together my belief in human touch, taking care of our skin, and my interest in overall health and wellness.
​
I've worked in different spa and wellness type settings. The decision to go into business for myself, by myself, came from my desire to focus exclusively on facials. I'm a very small business and I take care of every aspect of it on my own. Spending hours creating and posting content on social media isn't my thing.
​
With deep appreciation, I thank everyone who has continued to support me. You enable me to continue to reach out and help restore people, and to give back to several charities, some of which include releasing children from poverty, animal rescue, local food pantries, and supporting a local women's shelter.
