34 | HealthLinksSC.com MEN WI N HEALTH Describe a moment where you knew you were in the right career in the right place. I knew when what I was doing made me feel good every day. I never feel like my work as an aesthetician is “work.” It’s a privilege and it fulfills me. I get to see positive transformation in my clients every day. What’s your favorite way to recharge? I find that being consistent with micro-habits is the best for me. I like to do a little bit of everything. I use the infrared sauna weekly, cardio and strength training and yoga bi-weekly, nature walks, breathing techniques, prayer and meditation, massage and chiropractic care, to name a few. If you could give one piece of advice to your clients, what would it be? Be gentle and honest with yourself. Having grace and understanding for ourselves is most of the battle when it comes to healing or making life-altering changes. Slow and steady wins the race. Briefly discuss one common misconception about your profession that you would like to refute. I’d like people to know that everything we do isn’t about beauty. While most of our treatments do focus on the outside of someone’s skin, I also work on inner pieces and inner peace. We look at diet, stress management, lifestyle and even aspects of mental health and spiritual well-being. How do you envision your practice in the next 10 years? I would like my spa to be a community of health and well- being practitioners all in one place. I would also like to expand to other areas of the state.
