About
I grew up on the beaches of the Atlantic, with salt air and open water as my earliest sense of home. But the mountains had a hold on me, and sixteen years ago I followed that lifelong dream west to Colorado. The Western Slope became home: thinner air, bigger sky, and the kind of quiet that finally lets you hear what you actually want.
I have always been an entrepreneur, and just as long, I have been a student of the skin. Through every chapter and every career change, one fascination never left me: the science of skin and the ingredients that care for it. The artistry of it, the chemistry of it, the way the right routine changes how you carry yourself. I kept circling back to it my whole life, even when I was busy building something else.
For years, becoming an esthetician was a "someday." In my early fifties, I stopped waiting for someday. I made the decision, did the training, earned my license, and turned a lifelong fascination into my life's work. It is the most certain I have ever felt about anything. And coming to it later, with a full life behind me, is exactly what makes me good at it. I listen, I am patient, and I treat your skin like the long-term investment it is.
What I bring to you now is a lifetime of knowledge, and yes, a lifetime of mistakes made on my own skin so you don't have to make them on yours. I have a deep wealth of ingredient knowledge, with a particular love for Korean skincare philosophies, and I know what genuinely works and what is just marketing.
Rare Air Skin is the studio I always dreamed of. Every treatment here is fully custom, built around your skin and the outcomes you want, never a one-size-fits-all menu. I have invested in advanced, results-driven technology, including being the only provider of Cool Jet Plasma on Colorado's Western Slope, so you can see real change without weeks of downtime. My promise is simple: honest guidance, modern care, and a plan that actually works for your skin.
I see everyone's skin as a kind of puzzle, sometimes even a challenge, and that is exactly what I love. Anti-aging is my specialty, and I am always eager to put together a plan that helps you reach your goals, whether large or small. I cannot turn back the hands of time, but I can help you achieve healthy, radiant, youthful-looking skin.
I would love to meet you. Come see what your skin can do up here in the rare air.
