I was raised where the fog clings to the ridgeline and medicine grows wild without labels.
Where hymns were handed down like recipes, and healing was more instinct than instruction.

My work as an esthetician is rooted in that same Appalachian knowing—slow, sacred, and sovereign. I don’t believe in separating the skin from the soul, or the body from the land. What I teach comes from lived wisdom, herbal lineage, and a reverence for creation that can't be learned in a classroom.

I created Wildwood to help estheticians remember what they already carry: ancestral touch, gut-deep discernment, and the holy work of tending to others.

If you’re drawn to the backwoods path—the one lined with moss, gospel, and grit—you’ll find me there.
