As the proud owner of Vanilla Sugar, a published author, and the host of the Bombshell Beauty Rituals podcast, I am deeply passionate about helping individuals whose skin concerns impact their emotional well-being. My clientele encompasses both teenagers and adults, and I craft personalized treatment plans that encompass a blend of in-spa therapies and at-home product regimens.
My Approach
My primary focus revolves around clients facing severe acne, extensive acne scarring, and pigmentation issues stemming from various sources, including acne, scars, hyperpigmentation due to melasma, sun damage, and acne. It's essential to understand that addressing these skin conditions necessitates a commitment to a series of treatments, typically commencing with around six sessions, coupled with the diligent use of recommended homecare products. In cases of severe acne leading to scarring, a series of scar reduction treatments may be required. Even after completing these treatments, periodic maintenance sessions and continued use of recommended homecare products are crucial. My ultimate goal is to help you achieve healthy skin and provide guidance for maintaining it.
Throughout our journey together, we will document your progress through pictures and images, showcasing your transformation towards healthier skin. I am fully dedicated to delivering results that offer a valuable return on your investment.
What I do and don’t do
As for skincare treatments, I only focus on corrective work. I am passionate about working with anyone ready to go on a journey. I don’t do the typical “spa facial,” even though I enjoy receiving them, and many of our other estheticians perform them. I do not offer entire body waxing services but do offer female and male Brazilian waxing, with a few add-ons such as brow waxing, nose waxing, ear waxing, and underarm waxing to the Brazilian treatment.
If you are scheduling skincare/facial appointments with me, I will recommend products to use at home to give you the best possible results you are looking for. To change your skin takes a commitment. It’ll take an average of 3-4 months for acne to clear. For acne scarring, it can take a few months for light pigmentation to lift and many years of monthly treatments for deep pitted scarring. You will need to use daily sunscreen to help preserve the collagen in your skin, topical vitamin C and peptides to produce collagen at home, plus treatments such as microneedling and microcurrent with stem cells to stimulate new collagen growth from in-spa treatments. I am direct and to the point; it will take time to see skin changes. I am not a miracle worker, but committed to working with you. I will track your progress with photos using a special facial scanner and regular photographs. I will also ask you to sign a photo release form (which you can decline) so I can share your progress in marketing my business. I may use your story for future publications or on my podcast or YouTube channel.
I have a goal to be a leader and innovator in the field of esthetics, and sharing what we can accomplish with others will help many others, in the end, to better understand what is possible with hard work and commitment to the better health of the largest organ of our body (skin).
Limited Availability
I do have limited availability for appointments.

I am committed to finding a solution that accommodates your needs and helps you achieve the skin you desire.
