As a specialist in the field of cosmetic and medical dermopigmentation, sometimes referred to as permanent makeup micropigmentation or permanent cosmetics tattooing, I have devoted my career to helping women feel better about themselves.

There are many elements within my practice that enable women to have more time, flexibility and freedom by having permanent cosmetics, as well as truly life changing procedures such as repigmentation of the breast areolas following breast cancer reconstruction, camouflaging unsightly or embarrassing scars and also treating stretch marks.

There are so many situations in which a woman finds herself challenged to feel comfortable about her appearance. There are many conditions that contribute to the emotionally and physically devastating effects of breast cancer and that includes partial or total alopecia on eyebrows and scalp. It is my job to say: “Every woman deserves to feel beautiful”. Our self-perception of our own beauty is what matters the very most.

Feeling good about one’s self is part of what empowers women to have the confidence to face life’s challenges.

To be able to give the gift of beauty and restorative treatments to offset the trauma of breast cancer is such a blessing for me. To see a woman’s face light up and her head held higher because she now has a scar that can no longer be detected, or even just hearing her say she’ll get 30 more minutes of beauty sleep in the morning because she no longer has to pencil on her eyebrows or eyes every day – is such a great feeling!

I have been so fortunate in my career. After many years of experience in both the medical, holistic and beauty industries I was introduced to the art of permanent cosmetics and medical dermopigmentation. It became the perfect combination of all my previous training and experience.

I was so lucky to have some very exceptional colleagues, teachers and mentors along the way. I am now teaching others and try to give back to my industry and my community to show my thankfulness and recognition of how fortunate I am to love what I do and be genuinely excited to go to work every day.

I donate my time performing nipples/ areolas repigmentation jobs for breast cancer victims on Pink October events and many pro bono jobs whenever necessary for women with no health insurance or limited resources. Unfortunately many of them are supposed to correct the poor work done by those who attempt permanent makeup as a part time endeavor, but teaching and practicing in this industry is my single focus.

I am honored because the job I do for women of all ages and lifestyles is so important and valued by each one I touch.
