The Skin Specialist

As a licensed esthetician, with over 20 years of experience, what I offer is unique and effective– Personalized Integrative Consultations. I consider lifestyle, food, medications, emotional, physical & mental health and more to solve your skincare woes. I educate you about your skin’s condition and the care it needs so you can feel confident when purchasing skincare products and services. As your Skin Specialist, I believe in:
– A partnership between us in your skin's journey
– Using conventional and alternative methods to facilitate the skin’s natural restorative abilities
– Consideration of all factors that influence health and wellness, including mind, spirit as well as the body; offering tactics to calm the mind, spirit and skin.
– Use of natural, effective, less-invasive interventions whenever possible..to fully celebrating your natural beauty. I incorporate my experience as a Probation Officer which focused heavily on mental health, women's and Indigenous issues, as well as a deep understanding and familiarity of how early or repetitive life experiences can have lasting effects in multiple areas of our lives (you might not even be aware of it!). I volunteer with UVic's Chronic Conditions Program as a Self Management Coach, and suffer from Chronic Conditions and pain myself. I support, encourage and empower you to take life enhancing steps; I can listen, clarify and help you see alternatives and make confident decisions. This is an inclusive, judgement-free zone, only love here!!! My focus is repairing skin damaged by scars, environmental damage, and poor product choices. The Peels gently renew the skins' surface while the Microneedling regenerates the skin from within itself. I cannot wait to take care of you and your skin💕
