Today, as we navigate the complexities of modern life, achieving skin health is not just about external products but a holistic integration of consistenct practices that go beyond the surface. Let me share my transformative experience, from battling sensitive skin and acne breakouts to unlocking the secrets of a healthy skin microbiome.
In the fast-paced environment of college life, I found myself caught in the whirlwind of late nights, intensive study sessions, and the desire to maintain an active social life. Having observed my families struggle with skin issues, I realized early on that my skin needed special attention. Determined to understand and address the root cause of my skin concerns, I pursued a Facial Technology license in Portland, Oregon in 2002.
As I delved into the world of facial technology, I uncovered the harsh reality that overwashing, overexfoliating, and relying on various skincare products were adversely affecting my skin’s microbiome. It became evident that to achieve optimal skin health, I needed to replenish and protect my skin daily. This realization marked the beginning of a journey toward a healthier, more resilient complexion.

I’ve tried thousands of skin care products and trained with hundreds of skin care lines and there is nothing better than mixing your own ingredients, finding a line and being consistent, shopping small & being intentional with your skin health.
Over the years, I experimented with a multitude of skincare lines, from Retin A to popular dermatology brands like Cetaphil and over-the-counter Neutrogena, seeking a solution to my skin concerns. However, it wasn’t until I changed my diet, got consistent sleep, and integrated plant based oils, Shiatsu Massage, and holistic therapies into my skincare routine that I started witnessing significant improvements. Despite administering various chemical peels and laser treatments, it was the introduction of Epionce and most recently my beauty oil, Om Beauty Oil that truly elevated my skin health to unprecedented heights.
Epionce became a game-changer, reinforcing the understanding that maintaining skin health is an ongoing process, not a quick fix. Steering away from aggressive approaches and embracing a more nurturing strategy, I gradually reversed the damage caused by years of thinning, toxic products, and excessive exfoliation. Today, I revel in the realization of my true beauty, with a healthy skin barrier radiating from the inside out.
I realized that keeping the skin healthy isn’t a one and done deal. I won’t ever trust the aggresive approach again. It took me many years to reverse the years of damage I did from thinning and using toxic products and way too much exfoliating. I’m seeing what my true beauty is and can feel my skin barrier is healthy from the inside out now.
Sharing the Epionce line with others and the healthy results we see with consistent use is what really brings me joy. I wake up to emails and messages from happy clients feeling their most beautiful, embracing their beauty and owning their wellness each and every week. My passion and purpose is to continue sharing and educating others about skin health, so they can feel beautiful and confident too.
