I’ve helped hundreds of women break the stress-flare cycle and calm their skin, even when they thought nothing would work.
You didn’t expect to end up here—crushed by stress every time you see a flare-up, knowing stress makes it worse but with no idea how to stop the cycle.
Covered in red, inflamed skin or painful breakouts, you feel miserable, ashamed, and desperate to wake up from this nightmare so you can get back to living your life.
You’re sick to your stomach when you think about the time and money you’ve wasted on skincare routines, expensive supplements, and restrictive diets that only made you feel like a failure.
That’s why no matter how good your diet is or how potent your prescription, any attempt to fix your skin without addressing the stress driving it will only lead to more flare-ups and more frustration.
THIS is the missing puzzle piece you’ve been searching for.
But looking back, I see it was all about healing my own wounds. Kids called me “Coffee Stain Face” and I felt so ashamed. I wanted to hide away, which is impossible when your ‘flaw’ is right there for the world to see.
As a dermatologist, I spent years treating skin conditions with what I now see were just band-aid solutions and quick fixes that would never lead to long-term resolution.
And then I went through my own battle with skin cancer. That was when it really hit me—skin isn’t just this thing that covers us; it’s a storyteller. It is directly tied to our nervous system and reflects what’s going on inside, physically, emotionally, mentally.
Every condition I encounter—acne, rosacea, psoriasis, eczema, alopecia, rashes, and more—they all get worse with stress, trauma, and emotional upheaval. We know this. The medical establishment acknowledges this.
So, why aren’t we talking about it more? Why aren’t we focusing on real, tangible solutions that address this connection? I started blending the science of skin health with somatic practices and psychological insights. It’s become this unique approach I now call somatic psycho-dermatology. My goal is to help people understand that their skin stories are worth listening to and that real healing happens when we get to the root causes, not just the surface symptoms.
I’m here to be the guide help you see that every flare-up is a message, a clue to what’s happening beneath the surface, and that there IS a way out.
