Christina

Licensed Aesthetician

I’m a licensed aesthetician and acne specialist since 2020. Like many in my field, my journey with skin health started from a struggle to heal my own skin. At just 12, I developed severe cystic acne and it took me several years to heal my own skin. My passion is treating acne and educating my patients on how to maintain clear skin. I enjoy having an ongoing relationship with my patients, and helping them empower themselves to treat their skin properly outside my treatment room. Prevention is key! When I’m not in the treatment room, I like to travel, cook, spend time with my family, and spoil my rescue cat Santina!
