Skin Alchemy Collective exists because healthy skin is the prerequisite — not the afterthought.

Twenty years in medicine. Doctoral-prepared. Obsessed with skin health.

I didn't build Skin Alchemy Collective to sell you treatments or change your face. I built it to improve your skin health, your confidence, and give you results you'll love — for years, not just weeks.

I'm not here to chase trends. I'm here to build something timeless with you — healthy skin that improves with age, confidence that compounds, and results that still look like you.

Most medspas start with the treatment. I start with the skin. Because you cannot ask depleted, undernourished cells to regenerate, respond, or perform. Before we add, we support. Before we correct, we strengthen. This is the foundation of everything we do here.

This is not a place for one-size-fits-all. It is a place where biology and beauty are inseparable.

I began as a makeup artist. Then eight years as an RN in the NICU and ICU. Then a Doctorate in Nurse Anesthesia — spending years in the operating room, where precision isn't optional and outcomes are everything.

And then COVID happened, and it cracked something open in me. I started asking a question I'd been quietly avoiding: am I actually fulfilled? The honest answer was no.

I followed the thread that had always been there — all the way back to that first job, quietly fascinated by the way caring for your outer self could shift how you felt inside. I dove into aesthetic medicine. Not the trend-chasing kind. The science of how skin heals, regenerates, and ages. The more I learned, the more I needed to know.

I also grew up having to learn everything about health entirely on my own. That journey taught me something I bring to every client: prevention is always more powerful than correction. Your skin is downstream of how you treat your body. It's not a lecture — it's something I had to earn.

I created Skin Alchemy Collective because I believe there is nothing more beautiful than healthy, supported skin that looks alive. Not treated. Not filled. Alive.

I take the time to listen — to your skin history, your lifestyle, and what confidence actually looks like for you. When you come in, I'm going to educate you, not sell you. I try everything I offer before I bring it into the practice. That's just how I'm built.

I'm a skin nerd. And I'm so glad you found us.
