Year started at Van Isle Beauty : 2021
I’ve spent my life dedicated to the art of touch and the care of skin. My journey began over 20 years ago when I graduated from Blanche MacDonald College as a skincare specialist, and since then, I’ve been helping clients feel confident and radiant in their own skin.
For the past 13 years, I’ve specialized in the ancient art of sugaring—a gentle, natural hair removal method that I’ve truly mastered. Clients often tell me they appreciate not only the results, but also the calm, nurturing energy I bring to every treatment.
My foundation runs even deeper in massage and bodywork. With over 40 years of experience and formal training at the Vancouver School of Healing Arts, I’ve learned how profoundly healing intentional touch can be. My approach is always mindful, blending skill and presence to create a space where beauty and well-being meet.
Beyond my work, I find inspiration in art, nature, and connection. Whether through skincare, massage, or sugaring, my intention is always the same: to support your body, your spirit, and your confidence in the most holistic way possible.
