She is also the founder of The Change Collective, an organization she launched in 2021 to advocate for marginalized communities in snow sports.

Agenda:

1. I know as much about aesthetics as I do about, say, space travel, which is to say I see other people doing it & don’t understand it. Talk to us about a natural & healthy approach to beauty that isn’t tabloid-driven. What is it to be beautiful?

2. And what does this mean treatment-wise? What makes a beauty treatment ’natural’ or ‘healthy’ vs a non-healthy beauty treatment? (this is a question about ingredients, products and interventions that might ‘hurt’ you but look good temporarily vs deep beauty).

3. Walk us through the range of beauty services that you offer, from simplest that is just the relaxation, to the most in depth series of treatments. What do you do in these visits & how are they structured/ scheduled/ personalized per client?

4. How do you pick the products you use? What do you avoid?

5. Tells us how you got interested in beauty & aesthetics?

6. Tell us about the rest of your knowledge base and training- acupuncture, pain management.

7. How does this square with your activism streak?

8. What other projects are you working on? What’s your latest passion interest?
