ABOUT
I understand the damage done when you don't fully accept yourself...
My introduction to beauty was being the daughter of a hairstylist who spent her Saturdays watching her mom transform hair. Clients came in with their heads low and left as if they were floating on air. Transfixed, I carried on with life knowing that one day I would play a role in this kind of transformation.
Life happened, and somewhere along the path I became of shell of myself in an effort to be accepted by environments and people who could only handle me with a dimmed light. It was painful to accept that I minimized myself to appease others and I set out on a journey to understand how I arrived to that point and what was necessary for me to rediscover who I have always been and reimagine who I chose to become. This inner work sharpened my POV of authentic self expression and led me to creating a proprietary framework that I now guide clients through to explore and express who they truly are.
My journey to radical self-acceptance revealed a truth I now help others live into: confidence isn’t created through performance—it’s cultivated through self-expression, care and a preservation of values.
With each client's permission, I become a mirror that reflects what’s present and what’s possible—emboldening them to walk away seeing themselves and the world in a brand new light.
A major part aspect of attaining radical self-acceptance included discovering my preferences. So let's have a bit of fun!
If your personal style had three words, what would they be?
My style statement reads that I am fabulous, chic and one-of-a kind. :)
Coffee, tea, or something sparkly?
I prefer tea to start and end the day, coffee as a treat once or twice a week and a glass of a full-bodied cab when I'm feeling social.
What’s one beauty product you never leave home without?
Lip balm. I currently love Laneige and Summer Fridays.
Favorite fragrance notes?
Oh, I could talk about this for days! Amber, oud, bergamont, cedarwood, sandalwood, pink peppercorn, vetiver, plum, jasmine, tuberose, damask rose, tonka bean, musk, blackcurrant, cashmeran...
If your brand had a soundtrack, what would be playing?
The Lounge Chill playlist on Apple music, but I also love Beyonce's Renaissance album to put a little pep in my step.
What inspires your eye for beauty beyond makeup and style?
Interior design, floral design, nature, poems and various other art forms.
What detail do you notice first about someone’s look?
Their audacity. I can often tell when someone is dressing as themselves or as who people think they should be. Audacity requires discovering your take on what's traditional and making it your own.
What’s something you’re currently inspired by?
Hands down, each client. There something kismet about a new client entering the Glow Pathway. It's as if we have something to teach each other simply by being ourselves. It's a beautiful exchange to experience.
