I have always had an interest in the healing arts. After starting my career as a drug and alcohol counselor, I decided to help people on a more spiritual and physical level. This brought me to the spa industry where I perform everything from reiki to airbrush make-up.
As a professional make-up artist, my work has appeared in publications such as, Ladies Home Journal and, Wedding Dresses. I have also done work for the Olive Garden, ESPN and Good Morning America. My esthetic work has taken me to renown spas like Completely Bare, and I eventually became the Director of Esthetics for a 5,000 square foot day spa in North Jersey. In addition to doing services, I helped design the treatment menu, website as well as contribute to marketing and event development. As a trainer for the “brow guru” Anastasia of Beverly Hills, I honed my skills for spa consulting, motivational trainings and of course the perfect brow!
My spa and healing work has been featured on the WB Morning Show to Brazilian National TV. Top beauty editors are among my clientele, as well as Joey Fatone, former Miss America and even Chuck Zito. Some of my clients have included professional wrestlers like Jim “Hacksaw” Duggan, Rick Steiner, “The Dog Faced Gremlin” and even a member of the Wu-Tang Clan!
Reaching beyond my human clientele, my passion for animals motivated me to become a horse and dog massage therapist. My love for horses and specifically police horses, led the NY Daily News and the NJ Star Ledger to do editorial stories on me and my charity work with horse massage.
