Intuitive Wellness & Esthetics
I started this company to share and combine my last 20 years in the Wellness & Spiritual spaces. When I was 18 I joined the Air Force, and became a Chaplain Assistant. I was exposed to many different faith practitioners and methods of belief.
This exposure to helping people at a young age inspired me to lead a life of service, and my career working in the social service field. This journey led me to certifications in Yoga Therapy, Yoga, and a MA in Holistic Mental Health Counseling with a certificate of advanced degree in the Creative and Expressive Arts. In 2022, like many people, I switched careers. I was the Lead Yoga Instructor at the VA Hospital in Tampa and I was called to go into the natural skincare industry, graduating from the Aveda Institute as a Licensed Full Estologist in Miami FL.
Each Wellness Workshop/Class/Skincare service combines my training,education & experiences in learning not only to live my best life, but HOW to find out what that sentence means!
My life’s passion is to help us ALL chill out a little, & teach we are worthy of wellness. As a Veteran, I took my business name, Intuitive Wellness & Esthetics and made an acronym with meaning: IWE.
I, because of WE. WE are all in this life together.
WE deserve a life we LOVE.
Welcome to the world of Intuitive Wellness & Esthetics
