About your esthetician

Hi, I’m so glad you’re here! Welcome to Holiday, a spa space for amplifying your “it” factor. You know… that feeling when you’re vibing and feeling so aligned in the moment and you just can’t help but glow? Let’s dwell there! Let’s celebrate the lightness of being that comes about through tending to your physical body.

I founded Holiday in 2017 on the principle of mind-body-spirit wellness through physical touch and cultivating the flow of energy that happens during personal services into something that lasts much longer than your time at the spa.

So where did it all begin? At my first facial job after beauty school (Avenue Five Institute, Austin, TX) I noticed an energy exchange, or even a moment of energetic co-creation, between myself and the client during their service. Sometimes it would feel vibrant and uplifting. Other times it would feel heavy and tiring. I wanted to learn more about how to guide this experience as the practitioner. One of my colleagues told me about reiki and gave me a treatment. I experienced the most illuminating flow of energy. I felt inspired and renewed! So I decided to take a reiki course with Tianna Roser. Before I knew it I was a Reiki Master / Teacher myself. The journey didn’t stop there.

Trainings followed in ancient Ayurvedic massage and energy techniques with Karyn Chabot, Traditional Chinese Medicine lymphatic drainage and systems knowledge with Clive Witham, crystal healing (and crystals as sentient beings!) and the chakra system with my spiritual guide and mentor Kristin Bredimus, western manual lymphatic drainage massage with Jennifer Anderson of Love & Esthetics, and so many more learning experiences with light workers and witches of all kinds along the way that focused on the flow of energy within and without the body. 

I’ve also devoted a lot of continuing education time to learning about inflammation reduction in the skin and the use of natural, plant-derived ingredients. Inflammation hastens premature aging, after all. I have an encyclopedic knowledge of ingredients that guides in selecting your most supportive home care products.

You’ll leave the spa with skin that’s hydrated, bright, and fresh. You’ll reach your beautiful skin goals through facial visits with professional grade products and a steady home care routine you’re into. But like, obviously.

It’s the energetic glimmers along the way that I’m truly seeking for you.
