About Me.
I am 22 years old, and born and raised in Northridge. I have always been interested in makeup, but my passion really came alive when I was diagnosed with cancer in 2019. I am over 5 1/2 years cancer free, but during that time, I didn’t have any hair, so I taught myself how to do makeup. I was able to be a part of something called Beauty Bus at the hospital where they would do facials, makeup, and anything for cancer patients, survivors, and their families. That was the first time as someone with cancer, that I felt truly beautiful.


Why this background?
I chose to create my spa website, and spa design as a whole to match the Japanese art of mending broken pottery is called "Kintsugi.” which translates to "golden joinery". Kintsugi emphasizes not just repairing the pottery, but also celebrating its imperfections by highlighting the cracks and breaks with gold or silver. Kintsugi is more than just a repair technique; it's a philosophy that celebrates the beauty of imperfection and the strength that comes from embracing scars. It's a way of finding beauty in the stories of a broken object and seeing it as a testament to its history and resilience. I chose this because as a cancer patient or survivor, you aren’t broken, sometimes you just need to find your own beauty.
