INSPIRATION

Jodi started out with her experience in destination spa. In this environment, Jodi had the opportunity to develop the art of luxury by creating an environment that delivers guests complete submersion of escape & tranquility. Having this mindfulness it brought awareness of how even the most subtle motion can alter guest experience. Wanting to develop more of a relationship with clients, Jodi then transitioned to local spas that had more of a clinical environment. She studied different technologies, modalities & was inspired by the importance of ingredient sourcing & composition.

Naturally Jodi has come across many different skincare products & brands throughout her career. Unfortunately, she discovered many companies formulate their products with ingredients known to be harmful to our bodies. Not only this, but also the use of manipulative marketing strategies to deceive the innocent consumer that companies use products with ingredients that are clean, organic, natural, etc. With this revelation, it really inspired Jodi to take time to study ingredients more in depth & know the sourcing so that she has the knowledge & ability to mentor her clients on the importance of clean skin care & a non-toxic lifestyle. While also balancing internal & external influences that may be affecting her clients skin.
