I have been in the esthetic field for over 20 years.  I started my career in Santa Barbara but while on vacation in 1998, I feel in love with the Big Island, Hawaii and moved to Kailua-Kona in 1999.  I immediately started working for myself and landed a rental space in a busy hair salon.  I had a successful business in Hawaii but when I gave birth to my daughter, my calling was to go back to the mainland which landed me in Lake Tahoe.  

I built a beautiful Hawaiian oasis destination spa.  Aloha Skin Spa offered facials, waxing, body treatments, massage, spray tan and infrared sauna services. Aloha Skin Spa, was featured in Spa Inc. magazine (edition: Feb.2009).  My lead esthetician bought my spa in the summer of 2009 and has resumed a flourishing business to this day. I have lived and worked as a licensed esthetician in Hawaii, California, Nevada and Oregon.  Living in some of the most beautiful areas of the world, I am excited about joining the team at Azura Studio and Salon in Bend, Oregon.
