Tend To Studios is led by a small team of two in NYC, bonded over the mutual desire to create an intimate community of like-minded folks, committed to learning more about wellness & themselves in a safe space.
Tend To Studios is a skincare and wellness studio created for a variety of reasons:
1) To be an accessible space for folks to come & learn about their skin
2) To normalize normal skin
3) To be a wellness hub to our community- connecting trusted wellness professionals to the clients that are searching for them.
& finally,
4) For folks to take time to intentionally tend to themselves.
We hope for a return to a realistic skin standard and aim to offer real-life, actionable education to our clients. We believe in a health-first approach to skincare that emphasizes the importance of a simple (but impactful) daily routine. We help our clients to embrace the reality of wrinkles and texture; honoring the human body as it is while reframing unattainable beauty standards and gently guiding them towards a healthy complexion. We believe in a holistic approach with both our skincare education and the products we use.
We will continuously be a space of discovery. Since the skincare market is ever changing, there’s always a lot to learn. At our studio, we’ll begin with an emphasis on mastering the basics; creating a foundation of self-care techniques that will last a lifetime. Our goal is to balance education with luxurious relaxation.
We sat down 4 years ago, talking about our goals and aspirations as estheticians. We quickly realized that there was a gap- it’s hard to find studio spaces well-suited for estheticians that also take into account the vibe and aesthetic most folks are looking for when investing in themselves. In that instant- the idea of Tend To Studios was born. We’ve worked hard to curate our space and can’t wait to share it with you.
Meet the Founders
After 5 years of being an esthetician, I’ve garnered enough understanding to know a couple things: as an esthetician, it’s my responsibility & desire to guide you closer to your own skin through touch and education.
I began my journey as an esthetician through modeling- lots of folks would have questions about my skin that I didn’t feel at the time was credible enough to answer. I decided to study at Christine Valmy to gain more education on the subject of skin, and to feel confident enough to share my findings with those already inquiring.
At my base, I love helping people, especially in the avenue of folks wanting to learn more about themselves. Self- sufficiency is important to me, and my goal is to have my clients lean on their own intuition and knowledge, rather than being dependent on me alone to be able to care for them.

I had the fortune of studying for my license at Dermalogica Academy which instilled in me a passion for learning and set the tone for my focus on centering customer experience.
Over the past 10 years of my career as an esthetician in NYC I acquired continuing education certifications from The International Dermal Institute, The Swedish Institute, and several globally recognized practitioners.
Specializing in facial massage, I have spent my career cultivating my techniques and honing my intuitive sense of what clients need. I have acquired advanced education in acupressure, Gua Sha, facial exercise, and manual facial sculpting.
My other specialty is sugaring. My compassionate approach to hair removal allows clients to ease through what can otherwise be an uncomfortable experience. I aim to create a safe space for people of all bodies and genders.
