About ME​

My very 1st Facebook profile picture was of a bumble bee for an entire year because I hated myself in photos.

At 43 years old, I was confident in my career and motherhood but not confident in my appearance at all. (and I hid it so well that no one knew)

Here’s the irony; I’m a licensed chiropractor, fitness instructor, a salsa dancer, extrovert, and lover of all things that scream SHINE BRIGHT

…but I was hiding in plain sight.

The REAL me felt lost somewhere in the past; sometime before having children and juggling everything we manage as business owners and also unsure of how to show up online professionally without being perceived as stuffy.

After seeing photos of women my age who looked much younger, fitter, and more vibrant, I decided it was time to make some changes.

  • I kept promises to myself about workouts and nutrition.
  • I spent more time doing my hair.
  • I worked on my mental health and improved my sleep.
  • I invested in my skincare routine…whitened my teeth.
  • As I became more fit, I started wearing clothes that enhanced my appearance instead of hiding under baggy tops.

…and I started noticing that I was feeling more like the real me again.

I was more energetic, more youthful, and definitely more confident in my appearance.

I stopped hiding behind people in group photos. If you’ve ever put yourself in the back row, you know what I mean.

I even booked multiple photoshoots that provided photos I didn’t hate!

Fast forward to 2015; after my wellness clients were losing weight and feeling great, my entrepreneurial brain saw a need for women needing a place to get dolled up.

I opened a niche beauty salon that helps women get ready for special events; especially events where cameras would be. (think weddings, galas, headshots, family photos, etc..) and that experience combined with my background as a chiropractor is what brings me to 2023.

My expertise is at the intersection of Health & Beauty; helping YOU GLOW from the inside-out.

Helping you step into your most fierce, fit, fabulous self is what I do.

You CAN shine so much that future clients will be attracted to you!

If you scrolled to the bottom for the quick version…

I’m a chiropractor and former beauty salon owner turned Image Consultant and camera confidence coach.

I’m a lover of Latin music, a salsa dancer, and unofficial travel ambassador to Italy who helps women in business look and feel radiant.

  • Chiropractor for 29+ years with an emphasis on women’s health, a fitness professional my entire life; coaching women in health/wellness

After years of women experiencing successful transformation and weight loss, they often asked my advice for fashion & beauty.

  • As a result, I opened a niche beauty salon in the greater Seattle area. My salon helps women get camera-ready with everything from hair and makeup to fashion advice. (sold in March 2022 and on reserve for consulting)
  • I’ve been in the beauty business for over 7 years and love, love, love this part of my work- so much so that I furthered my education and became a Certified Image Consultant.

Committing to putting your best foot forward in health, beauty and personal image is a lifestyle and a MUST if you’re the face of your own business.
