I discovered that beauty is more than skin deep when my new modeling career was cut short by a raging case of acne, at age 11.  My dreams went down the drain along with my positive self-image, changing my once outgoing nature to that of a shy and self-conscious child.  Despite my misfortune, a spark was ignited in me to help myself and others to be beautiful.

The spark caught fire a decade later, when I became a Color Analyst who helped people discover their best look by draping them with various color swatches under special lighting.  Although I was helping people look beautiful on the outside, more importantly, I discovered that the most profound changes in clients were taking place on the inside. The confidence and inner joy people were experiencing was life changing, for them and for me.

As a single mom in my thirties, I took my career a step further and became a licensed skin care specialist.  I helped thousands of clients over the years to look and feel great by combining superb skin care skills and confidence building techniques.  I also finally got to do some modeling, but it didn’t mean as much to me as it did when I was 11.

My 40’s deepened my ‘inner’ realm of beauty when I used my own naturally formulated products to help breast cancer patients.  Helping these ladies look and feel beautiful was especially gratifying for me, opening my eyes to the outer beauty-inner joy connection at a deeper level than ever before.  Inspired, I wrote an online column called ‘Beauty Connections’ a few years later, which highlighted people and businesses that promoted that important connection through the work they did.

As I became a woman in her ‘second act’ of life, the proof that the mind and spirit nurture our physical beauty became very  personal to me.  I could no longer ‘get by’ on a nice smile and a pretty face that was easy to come by before.  I learned how inner strength and positive self-care influenced the reflection I saw in my mirror, and that the ideas and beliefs that I took ‘into my cells’ strongly influenced how others saw me, and how I saw myself.

I became a specially trained Life Coach after the loss of several people I loved made me realize how short life can be and that I wanted to live my life with intention and purpose, to be a catalyst of change for those who seek my guidance.

It is my honor, my privilege and my joy to be your ally, your coach and your friend in your own journey to achieve the ultimate balance between beauty and mind, and to help you to discover and live the purpose your soul is called to do, with passion, peace and positivity, in the most beautiful way possible.

Beauty Mind Balance is a multi-dimensional service that embraces and promotes the connection between the beauty ones sees in their mirror and the inner contentment of living with passion, purpose, strong connections and a strong feeling of ‘belonging.’

Virtual skin care sessions combined with goal-centered coaching blend together to create a uniquely complete service that goes way beyond the norm for people in their ‘second act’ and the particular challenges facing those living ‘experienced’ lives.

External beauty is maximized through targeted anti-aging skin care and beauty nutrition, and inner beauty contentment is experienced when self-care practices are utilized.  Specific coaching techniques and exercises, to promote inner peace, confidence and resilience, as well as guided visualization, affirmations and meditation serve as catalysts on the journey to total beauty enlightenment.
