I became a registered aesthetician in Nova Scotia 30 years ago. I worked in a salon for two years, as I thought it was important to gain more knowledge, before opening my own business 28 years ago.

Always looking to develop my skills, I took a medical aesthetician course. Then had the pleasure of joining Dr. Pickett‘s office. Offering different laser treatments and chemical peels.

My prior career was in the military Air Force for 14 years. That experience has given me many other skills for all situations in life.

I have one adult son on his own. Exercise is a big part of my life, and spending time with my two rescue cats Minnie and Rocco.
