I’m the face behind Cactus Bloom Aesthetics. I’m a California transplant turned Idaho esthetician, wife, and mom of three. After spending more than 25 years in the corporate world building other people’s dreams, I finally walked away to build something of my own. Something meaningful. Something rooted in real results and real connection.

My passion for skin didn’t come from textbooks. It came from life. I dealt with stubborn acne in my late twenties while I was working as a makeup artist, trying to teach confidence with a face that didn’t feel like mine. Later, I walked through years of breakouts, scarring, and frustration with my daughter. Then my sons. Acne has kind of been the uninvited family member at this point… the one that forces you to learn the hard stuff.

All of that shaped how I work today. I lean into the problem-solving side of skincare. Acne. Pigmentation. Aging that feels like it happened overnight. Skin that just looks tired and “off.” If there is a pattern, I’m going to find it. If there is a solution, I’m going to figure it out. My goal is to help you feel confident again without drowning you in overcomplicated routines or twelve-step product lineups no one actually sticks to.

Inside my studio, every treatment is customized. Every product and modality is chosen based on what your skin needs that day. No upselling. No nickel-and-diming. If you don’t want to buy retail, I’ll still help you find something that fits your budget and your skin. I’m here for long-term skin health, not short-term pressure.

Skincare is personal. Confidence is personal. And when someone trusts me with their face, I take that seriously. I’ll give you honest guidance, simple routines, science-backed treatments, and the kind of results that feel like yourself… just clearer, calmer, brighter.

Cactus Bloom is more than a studio. It’s where real people get real answers and real care, one skin problem at a time. And if I can help you feel at home in your skin again, then I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.
