About me..
If you're reading this, it's because you are seeking a professional to assist you with your skin care needs.
One who is passionate about skin care, makes you feel valued, and doesn't treat you like a number or dollar sign.
One who treats you as an individual, customizing your skin care based on your needs and not the masses.
One who listens and guides you to your best skin possible.
With 23 years of experience in aesthetics, including my role as Lead Esthetician at a beachside resort (Southern California), and a decade spent in medical aesthetics under a Board Certified Dermatologist (also in Southern California), I possess a comprehensive understanding of skin care and bring this knowledge to my treatment room.
My approach combines over two decades of experience with a personal touch. I prioritize understanding your skin concerns and tailoring treatments to meet your specific needs. Whether you are looking for anti-aging solutions, acne management, or simply come to relax and enhance your natural glow, I am committed to helping you achieve your goals.
During our sessions, you can expect a thorough assessment and a collaborative plan that empowers you to take control of your skin health. Together, we will explore customized treatments and home care that align with your lifestyle.
You deserve to have someone in your corner that cares about your skin as much as you do, and I am here to support you every step of the way. I look forward to working together to unlock your skin’s potential.
Location..
My home-based studio is located in the Sonoma Ranch area, about 1.5 miles from the Walmart Supercenter on Rinconada.
I understand that some may question the professionalism of a home studio. I want to assure you that I am a fully licensed professional, holding both State and City credentials. These credentials require annual inspections by the State Board, ensuring adherence to the highest standards.
My studio offers a comprehensive range of services that you would expect from a spa or salon, with none of the distractions. I utilize professional-grade products, and your treatments are provided in a clean, tranquil and professional environment.
Upon scheduling your appointment, you will receive an email with further details to prepare for your visit.
The Benefits of a Professional Home Studio..
I operated a storefront before transitioning to my home studio at the end of 2020. The decision to move was driven by a need for adaptability during the challenging times of the COVID pandemic. While I initially thought this change would be temporary, it illuminated the many benefits that a home studio offers.
When I asked my clients their thoughts about returning to a storefront location, each expressed a preference for my home studio. As a result, prior to my recent move, I opted to build a space just for you. This new environment fosters a peaceful and serene atmosphere, allowing you to relax and unwind away from the distractions commonly found in larger spas and salons. Parking is also incredibly manageable, contributing to the overall convenience of each visit.
During your appointment, you can expect a high level of privacy, as it is unlikely you will encounter another individual. I intentionally limit the number of clients I see each day to maximize the time and attention I dedicate to each person. Your experience is paramount to me; I strive to provide the individual care necessary to promote the best results for both your skin and spirit. After all, your skin deserves it. YOU deserve it!

KIM has improved my skin texture and appearance, along with instructing me on the “proper” techniques of home maintenance. Thank you, KIM, from a devoted and consistent client.”
