As a licensed esthetician with over three years of experience, I've had the privilege of working with numerous clients, each with their unique skin concerns. However, it wasn't until I began to notice a common thread among some of my clients—those who had bravely battled and overcome cancer—that I realized the need for a specialized skill set in my profession.

The turning point occurred when my third client, who was a cancer survivor, confided in me about the changes she had noticed in her skin since her battle with cancer. These conversations resonated deeply with me, making me realize that I needed to reevaluate my approach and equip myself with advanced training to better understand the unique challenges faced by oncology clients.


Then, life took an unexpected turn. Someone very close to my heart shared the devastating news of their illness. The grief and helplessness I felt during that phone call were overwhelming. I found myself in uncharted territory, unsure of how to provide the support my loved one needed and what actions I should or shouldn't take.


This pivotal moment became my "why." It served as the catalyst that transformed the trajectory of my career. I knew that I had to channel my grief and confusion into something positive, something that would not only empower me to support my loved one but also help countless others who had experienced the impact of cancer on their skin and overall well-being.

In the wake of this personal crisis, I embarked on a journey of professional growth and transformation. I sought out specialized training and education focused on the unique needs of oncology clients. Armed with knowledge and a newfound sense of purpose, I am now better equipped than ever to provide expert care and support to cancer survivors seeking to restore their skin's health and confidence.


My mission is clear: to bridge the gap between esthetics and oncology, offering a safe and compassionate space for cancer survivors to address their skincare concerns. Through my journey, I hope to inspire others in my field to recognize the importance of understanding and catering to the specific needs of this resilient community.


As I continue to evolve in my career, I am driven by a deep commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of cancer survivors and their loved ones. Together, we can explore the transformative power of esthetics, helping individuals regain not only their radiant skin but also their self-esteem and inner strength.
