My story.......

For most of my life, I had a skincare routine that worked. Then menopause happened — and everything changed overnight. The products I had used for years suddenly felt wrong on my skin. My barrier was dry, reactive, and unpredictable in ways it had never been before. I tried switching products, following new routines, and spending more money. Nothing helped. What I didn’t realize at the time was that my barrier had fundamentally changed — and no amount of product-switching would fix that without first understanding what was happening beneath the surface. So I did what I’ve always done when I need answers: I went back to the science. With a degree in biology (HCBU Grad) and a deep curiosity about skin physiology, I began learning as much as I could about the skin barrier. I pursued my coaching certification as a Certified Skincare Coach, and through that process of healing my own skin, The Barrier Method was born.

 

What I believe.......

I believe your skin isn’t broken — it’s responding. Most skin struggles trace back to one root cause: a compromised skin barrier. When the barrier is healthy, everything else follows — hydration improves, breakouts calm down, and products finally work the way they’re supposed to. Great skin at every age is possible — it just looks different. Skin at 55 has different needs than skin at 25, and that’s not a problem to fix. My clients range from teens building their first routine to women navigating perimenopause and beyond.

My goal is to make myself unnecessary.

 

I want you to leave my program knowing your skin well enough to care for it for life.
