Behind the Glow: My Journey to Creating High Vibe Skin Academy
When people see the words High Vibe Skin Academy, they often think of facials, crystals, or skincare techniques. And while that’s part of what we do, the heart of this Academy goes much deeper.
I created High Vibe Skin Academy because I knew there was something missing in the beauty industry — a connection between the emotional body, the spirit, and the skin.
From Struggles to Purpose
My story with skincare started long before I ever stepped into a treatment room. Like so many of my clients, I struggled with acne. It wasn’t just about breakouts on the surface — it affected my confidence, my energy, and even how I showed up in the world.
Through trial, error, and years of learning, I began to understand something important: skin doesn’t exist in isolation. It’s connected to our emotions, our lifestyle, and our energetic state. When I began healing from the inside out, my skin followed.
That realization became my calling.
Building Elevate Skin + Soul
After 14 years of working with skin and energy, I opened my studio, Elevate Skin + Soul, with the motto: When energy flows, skin glows. I wanted every client to feel seen, heard, and nurtured in more ways than just skin-deep. Treatments became a blend of advanced corrective skincare with Reiki, sound healing, crystals, and aromatherapy.
And the results? Not only were clients seeing glowing skin, but they were leaving lighter, calmer, and more connected to themselves.
Why High Vibe Skin Academy Was Born
It wasn’t long before other aestheticians started reaching out, asking, “How do you do this? How do you integrate energy work with facials? How do you bring holistic healing into a beauty business?”
That’s when High Vibe Skin Academy was born.
I realized my purpose was not just to treat clients but to teach aestheticians how to elevate their own practices. To help them:
✨ Expand their services with holistic modalities
✨ Create deeper client transformations
✨ Avoid burnout and fall back in love with their work
✨ Build thriving, soul-aligned businesses
A Peek Behind the Scenes
What people don’t always see is the hours of journaling, planning, meditating, and yes — even doubting — that went into building the Academy. Every course, from the Sound Bath Facial to Reiki Training to Abundant Mindset, was created from real experiences in my treatment room.
I test everything on myself first. I pour energy into aligning each course with what aestheticians are truly craving: not just more certifications, but freedom, creativity, and connection.
What’s Next
High Vibe Skin Academy isn’t just an online school — it’s a community. A space where healers, beauty professionals, and lightworkers come together to raise the vibration of the skincare industry.
And this is only the beginning.
So if you’ve ever felt the pull to go beyond the surface… to treat not just skin, but soul… you’re in the right place.
Because when we heal ourselves, we change the lives of every client who lies on our table.
With love + high vibes,
