Today, I work as a Facialist for Maison Sisley Paris and Dr. Barbara Sturm, creating personalised treatment experiences that combine skincare, education and luxury client care.
For me, a facial has never been just about improving the skin. It has always been a way to understand what the skin is trying to communicate.
Every treatment begins in the same way: by listening, observing and asking questions.
I’m interested in understanding the connections between the skin, the body, lifestyle, emotions and everyday habits. Those connections often reveal much more than the skin itself.
For me, a facial is much more than a skincare treatment.
It is a space where the skin, the senses and the nervous system are invited to slow down together.
Creating that sense of safety and calm is just as important to me as the products I choose or the techniques I use, because the body functions differently when it no longer feels under constant stress.
My goal is for every client to leave not only with healthier skin, but with a deeper understanding of what their skin has been trying to tell them.
Every facial is different, but my approach remains the same.
Understanding first.
Connecting the dots.
Calm down the nervous system.
Then creating a treatment that truly makes sense for that individual.
Today, I develop natural formulations and herbal products for wellness professionals, clinics and brands, helping transform ideas into products that are both meaningful and aligned with their vision.
My work ranges from personalised skincare and facial oils to herbal blends, botanical perfumes, lip treatments, bath salts and post-procedure products designed to support the skin after treatments such as laser, surgery or aesthetic procedures.
I work exclusively with natural ingredients because they reflect the way I understand wellbeing and formulation.
Every project begins with listening.
Before creating a formula, I want to understand the person or the brand behind it.
What are they trying to create?
Who are they creating it for?
What experience do they want people to have?
Only then do I begin researching ingredients, creating different prototypes and refining each formula until it reflects both the purpose of the product and the identity behind it.
When appropriate, I also suggest complementary botanical ingredients or wellness practices that can support the product as part of a broader approach.
Every formulation begins with understanding the person, the brand and the intention behind the project.
Today, I collaborate with wellness brands and projects, helping transform ideas into products, treatments and experiences that reflect their identity.
My work can involve natural formulation, herbal blends, signature treatments, spa menus, education and concept development.
Developing a wellness concept often requires me to bring together knowledge from many different fields, skin physiology, anatomy, herbalism, formulation, sensory experience, client behaviour, education and brand identity—while always keeping one question in mind:
How can all these pieces work together to create something meaningful?
That is the part of my work I enjoy the most.
Not creating individual pieces, but helping them become one coherent experience.
One of the most exciting chapters of my journey is just beginning. I’m currently in the final stages of becoming a co-owner of a wellness centre in Barcelona—a project that brings together everything I’ve been building throughout my career.
