ESTHETICS/SKINCARE
I’m a licensed esthetician with comprehensive training and hands‑on experience. I completed a 600‑hour Esthetics program at the esteemed Christine Valmy International School in New York City—an accredited institution founded by pioneer Christine Valmy. Following that, I continued my education at the New York Institute of Beauty, where I earned an Advanced Esthetics Certificate (300 hours) elevating my skills with advanced treatments and skin science.
Tools & Techniques Expertise
With my academic foundation and continual learning, I’ve refined technical proficiency using:
Microcurrent devices for lymphatic drainage, lift and enhanced product penetration.
Hand‑held dermaplaning tools (with surgical blade technique) for delicate physical exfoliation.
High‑performance chemical peels tailored to skin tone and tolerance.
These protocols are derived from Christine Valmy’s approach and enhanced with modern modalities taught at New York Institute of Beauty.
Why My Signature Technique Stands Out
1. Every treatment starts with a thorough skin analysis and personalized consultation, followed by nutrient-rich product layering that serves a strategic purpose. Exfoliation and massage sequences are carefully selected and designed to optimize lymph flow, tissue tone and product absorption tailored to your skin's needs.
2. Using very gentle facial strokes that follow lymphatic pathways (always towards the collarbone), I help reduce puffiness, relieve tension and sculpt the bone structure for a visibly lifted, contoured look—without harsh pressure or dragging.
3. Instead of rushing, I perform each step with rhythmic flow and mindful touch, a deliberate intent of slow movement, even pressure and transitions orchestrated to maintain warmth, hydration and the essence of presence.
Spa‑Grade Body Treatments
I’ve enriched my skills and client experience by working at multiple spa environments across New York City. Full‑body treatments that blend clinical precision with spa‑grade care—whether it's exfoliation scrubs, wraps, or massage. Based on proven heat and pressure modulation, these protocols promote circulation, support lymphatic flow, and rejuvenate skin’s texture and tone.
During my time at Bathhouse Flatiron, I performed full‑body Hammam scrub services— an exfoliation ritual using traditional black soap and mitts in a thermal wet spa setting. Excuting precise treatments that feel simultaneously nourishing and effective.
