Unity; “the state of being united or joined as a whole”

Ona means Unity. Born in San Francisco, my upbringing was far from ordinary. I grew up running barefoot through the melting pot of Trinidad & Tobago, eating mangoes and guavas from the trees in my backyard. I’d like to think that it inspired my eventual passion for holistic beauty and health; growing up in such a natural and organic way without the influence of modern society. After high school back in the United States, I attended the University of Washington with a degree in Sociology, but my love for health and beauty never truly left me, and I went back to school to study skin & esthetics in 2008 at the Euro Institute of Skin Care. Their mission is in part to promote the theory practice of holistic esthetics. Its holistic, naturopathic emphasis makes it one of the nations premier esthetics colleges. After gaining experience and knowledge as an esthetician, my passion for health and nutrition was still strong. I completed a 200-hour holistic nutrition specialist program at the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts. I have experience in both a Med Spa setting as well as Dermatology but have settled into my true passion of natural + holistic aesthetics. I love continued aesthetic education and take new classes often to learn more modalities + skills to bring to you in the treatment room for the best possible results.

I believe overall wellness is defined by creating a lifestyle of balance, uniting all factors that affect our wellbeing.

Sleep, nutrition, movement and self-care.

I began my business to educate and inspire others through my health and beauty services. Combining all I’ve learned in my education + experience, I will treat your concerns from the inside out + the outside in, igniting the power and ability of your innate skin + body. You are unique and your needs are too. My goal with you is to unite the integrity of your inner health + outer beauty, resulting in the highest level of wellness of the mind, body + spirit.

“The essence of beauty is unity in variety” - Felix Mendelssohn
