From Skin Deep to Soul Deep: I started my journey in the early 80's dedicated to skin and skincare. I loved all things beauty in particular French inspired skincare. I treated a variety of skin conditions and enjoyed exploring new and innovative ingredients and products. My enthusiasm quickly grew along with my salon from one to two to three. At the time I loved the one on one, the nurturing and the trust build between myself and my clients. The more I learned about them the more I wanted to help. What I could offer at the time was only on the surface. I wanted to do more to help them from the inside and out.
The yearning to understand what was going on in the inside, beneath the surface and help people from the inside and out changed everything for me. My interest in digestion, hormones, nervous system patterns and natural medicine drew me to study Naturopathy. I needed to go all in to my studies and made the choice to close all the salons bar one. My time studying Naturopathy opened my eyes to how the chemicals we use on our skin impact our body and in turn ends up in the environment.
It was this awareness that started my interest in learning to make my own skincare. Making the products as the need arised is how it all started. Slowly one formulation after another was developed based on my understanding of the french inspired skincare. When I finished my studies as a Naturopath I realised there was a missing piece to my understanding of the whole. I was drawn to to the union between the mind, body and spirit and when I discovered Ayurveda everthing fell into place. As a hands on therapist I loved the opportunity to offer the Ayurvedic treatments and I really connect with the whole Ayurvedic wisdom, intergrating body, mind and spirit. This understanding took my skincare and therapies to a whole other level.
Forty odd years later my passion for skincare and the wellness industry is still strong. I still love learning and unfolding with it. I feel fortunate to be of witness in a time when we are all more aware and open to divine love.
Hope you can join me for this unfolding journey and live in harmony. Mind, body and spirit. Welcome!
Sharing Divine Love
