For as long as I can remember, beauty rituals captivated me. As a little girl, I was mesmerized by the simple magic of “getting ready”—the textures, the scents, the glow. It wasn’t just about the result—it was about the ritual, the intention, and the way it made me feel.
That curiosity turned into a lifelong pursuit. As I grew older, I became what many might call a picky client. I cared deeply about ingredients, technique, and how my skin responded—not just temporarily, but holistically. Meanwhile, I was building a career in tech, spending a decade working in high-level partnerships. But on the side, I was quietly nurturing another passion.
During those years, I found myself organizing spa-inspired events for my corporate clients and partners—small rituals carved into the busy pace of business life, and friends and family started coming to me asking for wellness and skincare advice. I also began studying practices that helped me navigate my own health journey—battling acne, hormonal imbalances, and adrenal fatigue. I became drawn to healing modalities that were both ancient and effective, especially the art of lymphatic drainage.
This powerful technique became the cornerstone of my personal wellness. It taught me how to slow down, be patient with my healing, reconnect with my body, and create flow in more ways than one. Over time, the idea for *Empress Skin Studio* was born—not just as a treatment space, but as a sanctuary of refinement, nourishment, and high-touch ritual.
Each treatment you see on the menu has been hand-picked for a reason. These aren’t trendy add-ons or filler services—they’re my personal repertoire of rituals that I’ve tested over the years, and have supported me on my path to healing. From sculptural facial massage to Brazilian lymphatic drainage, every offering is a reflection of years of research, trial, and transformation.
The name *Empress* is inspired by the Empress tarot card—a symbol of beauty, abundance, creativity, and divine feminine power. It also reflects my enduring love for thoughtful luxury: the timeless elegance of European traditions and travel, the regal details from my wedding and the quiet confidence that comes from quality craftsmanship—the kind marked by a royal seal or a legacy of excellence.
At Empress Skin Studio, quality isn’t a luxury—it’s a standard. My goal is to bring you the kind of experience that feels both grounding and result driven. Whether you’re here to sculpt, detox, or simply reconnect with yourself, this is a space where you’re meant to feel seen, held, and honored.
