Through her work, she aims to provide not only effective skincare solutions, but also empathy and understanding for those dealing with skin conditions.

Susan's passion for beautiful, healthy skin is deeply rooted in her own experiences and influenced by her mentor, Irmgard Booth, a former plastic surgery OR nurse.

Whether you're struggling with acne, aging concerns, or simply want to maintain healthy skin, she will guide you every step of the way.

Susan prides herself on her commitment to education and staying current with the latest advancements in skincare. As a Dermalogica-certified Professional Skin Therapist and Licensed Esthetician, Susan holds an Expert certification and the International Dermal Institute Post-Graduate Certificate of Achievement for Skin and Body Therapy. Her expertise extends to advanced skin therapies, including chemical peels, microdermabrasion, LED light therapy, nanoinfusion, ultrasonic therapy, and manual lymphatic drainage. Additionally, Susan is a certified Skin Classic Thermolysis provider, offering a comprehensive range of services to address various skin concerns.

Outside of her practice, Susan is a seasoned traveller and music enthusiast who enjoys cooking, gardening, reading, sailing, and spending time near the ocean.
