While working at a health club in Bellevue, I was befriended by a massage therapist who introduced me to the spa industry.

I literally enrolled at the Euro Institute of Skincare in Renton on a whim and it quickly became my passion.

I taught full-time for a couple of years and now provide continuing education for licensed professionals in the industry.

What is your favorite treatment to give? Pedicures. I believe that receiving pedicures frequently is important for several reasons. Regular pedicures help maintain the health and appearance of your feet by addressing issues like calluses, dry skin, and overgrown nails before they become problematic. Additionally, consistent pedicures promote relaxation and stress relief, as massage and pampering can alleviate tension and improve overall well being. Moreover, frequent pedicures contribute to better foot hygiene, reducing the risk of infections and foot related complications. Overall, prioritizing regular pedicures not only keeps your feet looking and feeling their best but also supports your overall health and comfort.

What do you like to do when you aren’t working? When I’m not working, I enjoy taking walks with my family, relaxing at home, and spending time with my two adorable boys.
