Hello Friends!

My mission is to help each one of you look and feel your best by embodying a health-conscious lifestyle for healthy skin, mind and body. Motivated by my passion for health and beauty, I’m driven to spread my knowledge for my rapidly increasing love of the skincare industry to benefit your health and ensure that your skin is looking its best.

My personal struggles with my own skin growing up took a toll on my self-confidence. I spent many hours researching ways to find natural remedies to get myself off prescriptions. I came to realize I had an underlying, undiagnosed genetic allergy that was causing my skin to flare up. I took a big leap and cut a major food group out of my everyday life. That was over a decade ago, my body and skin are now balanced and happier than ever. I've been where you might be at right now - I'm here to guide you through.

As the largest organ in the body, your skin is a big deal, give it the respect it deserves. Good skin starts from within! Fall in love with the process of becoming the best version of yourself; adopting good skincare habits is so important for not only your skin in the future, but it also gets you on the right track for age prevention. Your future self will thank you! If you are struggling, let's figure out together how we can set good habits for you to see and feel amazing results!

Q: What should I expect when I book an appointment with Brie?

A: As a Connecticut Licensed Esthetician, I specialize in Holistic, Teens, Oncology, and Sensitive Skin Esthetics and perform holistic, non-medical facial treatments for all skin types and conditions with an efficient skin consultation.

For a deeper more advanced efficient skin analysis, I use a Wood's Lamp. The Wood's Lamp is a hand-held light that emits a painless "black light." The filter black light that is used illuminates and reveal aspects of the skin that is not visible to the naked eye, which includes the following skin disorders: hydration levels, dead skin cells, indicates under the skin pigmentation like melasma, vitiligo, sun damage; presence of bacteria, fungi, sebum, etc.

The results of a Wood's Lamp examination can assist in determining the most effective course of treatment for your skin type and condition; whether it be a facial, chemical peel, or microdermabrasion. By incorporating this advanced technology into your skin consultation can provide a higher level of care and personalized treatment, ensuring optimal results for you.
