My story

It started with my own skin.

10The age my hormonal acne began, and the start of my obsession with understanding skin.

For as long as I can remember, I've been passionate about understanding and caring for the skin. My own struggle with hormonal acne started when I was 10 years old, and it pushed me to dig deep into skincare.

Like so many of the clients I see today, I spent years trying every product and method I could find, and I kept ending up disappointed. I was putting in the effort. What I didn't have yet was the knowledge to understand what my skin actually needed.

That realization changed everything for me.

It's what led me to become a licensed esthetician. Through years of education, hands-on experience and working with clients of every skin type and tone, I built an approach that pairs advanced corrective treatments with care that is truly personal.

I created Vivify Body & Co. Aesthetics to close that knowledge gap for my clients. Here, you're listened to, your skin is assessed properly, and you leave understanding the why behind every step.

My philosophy

Every person's skin is unique, and so is their skincare journey. My approach is rooted in understanding your individual needs, crafting a tailored treatment plan and making sure every session delivers results you can see and feel.

  1. 01One-on-one expertise

    Every treatment is performed by me personally, so you get the highest standard of care at every visit.

  2. 02Customized plans

    Your skin is unique, and your treatment plan will be too. Nothing here is one-size-fits-all.

  3. 03Education first

    I'll teach you the why and how behind every product and step, so you can confidently maintain your results at home.

  4. 04Commitment to results

    Whether it's acne, fine lines or pigmentation, my goal is results that lift your confidence and your quality of life.
