The last three years have been rough! In the last year alone, I’ve experienced multiple injuries and ultimately, burnout. It was a lot!
But… it also was the catalyst for embarking on a deeper wellness journey, including a 10 day Vipassana meditation retreat, somatic therapy, acupuncture, aquatherics, qi gong, breathwork, meditation, sound healing, and lots of yoga 🪷
On the other side of my journey, I am committed, not only to my own continued healing practice, but also working toward aiding the collective healing and liberation of us all.
My experience has not been unique. During this time, so many of us have changed paths, and are finding work more in alignment with our values and vision.
Throughout my work with practitioners, I've gained insight into some of the common challenges that today's practitioners are facing, and came to realize that I am a helper for the helpers.
I‘ve maintained a CA esthetician’s license since 2006 and still provide skincare services to a limited number of clients. My experience ranges from high end cosmetics and skincare (Arcona, Chanel, Dermalogica, Laura Mercier, RéVive, Shiseido), both sides of the spa - practitioner and management, as well as maintaining my independent practice.
I began my operations career in 2012, and have spent over a decade building operational infrastructure for SMEs, including strategic planning, program development and management, process improvement, and organizational development.
In 2020, I went back to school to pursue an MBA in sustainable management. The program emphasized systems thinking and its application toward today’s biggest problems around social, economic and environmental justice. I believe that business do have some of the greatest opportunities to affect wide scale changes around the issues all life is facing. My time in grad school and my experience after, was a reminder that everything starts with the individual, and that we can't expect to have healthier, more just, equitable societies, if we're not doing our individual healing.
For additional details around some of the work I've done, you can review my resume and startup experience.
