I am a wife, a busy mom of two teens, living in SWFL. Like many, I have a family history of cancer. I was absolutely crushed when I lost my mom in 2017. Frankly my own health was not in the best place, at that time. I had been diagnosed with Celiac and Hashimotos disease, I wasn’t active, and I was scared. I knew I needed to dig deep, and take control of my own health.
So I became an certified coach for an online wellness and fitness company. I was on the right path with eating and fitness. But I hadn’t really thought much about my beauty products, until my daughter had an almost anaphylactic reaction to drugstore make-up. I began a desperate search for safer products and with 100% ingredient transparency.
My research made me realize that I knew nothing, about the safety of the beauty industry. I learned it is completely legal for companies to use toxic chemicals in the products that we put on our bodies every day, even if the ingredients are known to cause cancer or other health problems. In fact while European Union bans over 1400 chemicals of concern, the United States only bans 11.
This was the journey that led me to becoming a Licensed Esthetician specializing in Holistic Services including International Certifications to teach and perform Gua Sha and Face Yoga,
As the owner of The Face Naturalist, LLC. it is my passion to help women love the way their skin looks and feels at every age through intuitive skincare practices and natural techniques.
I offer in person services and teaching sessions, as well as virtual skin consults, Face Yoga, and Gua Sha sessions.
This path has granted me the honor of being the Hugh & Grace National Convention Kick Off Speaker October 2022, a guest on the Clean Bee Podcast May 2022, providing Face Yoga Sessions at Miami Swim Week 2021, and meeting with Florida Senator Rubio’s aide in 2020 to ask for support on the Cosmetic Reform Safety Act.
