Our Philosophy

  • Founder, Lead Esthetician & In-House Educator

    With over a decade of experience in the medical field and ten years in esthetics, I have dedicated my career to helping women feel confident, cared for, and comfortable in their own skin. As a Licensed Esthetic Instructor, I have had the privilege of educating future beauty professionals and continue to carry that passion for education into my work every day at Fifty-Seven Third.

    After working in a fast-paced medical spa environment, I founded Fifty-Seven Third with a desire to create something different—a more personalized approach where advanced, results-driven treatments meet a relaxing and intentional experience. My passion is helping clients discover healthier skin through customized skincare, advanced therapies, and continued education. I continue to expand my own knowledge through advanced training in DMK, age management, and innovative treatment techniques so I can provide the highest level of care for my clients and continue mentoring my team as they grow into confident, skilled estheticians.

    In addition to skincare, I am excited to offer ear piercing at Fifty-Seven Third, creating a safe, welcoming experience centered around quality, education, and intentional care.

    At the heart of my work is my faith in God. I believe in honoring Him by using my talents to serve others and create an environment where women feel valued, encouraged, and cared for. My mission at Fifty-Seven Third is not simply to enhance outward beauty, but to uplift the whole person by creating a space where confidence, connection, and genuine care are at the center of every experience.

    I aim to reflect His love and grace in all that I do here at Fifty-Seven Third.
