MY STORY
Specializing in the treatment of acne and skin nutrition stems from a personal journey with my own health coach a number of years ago. Her style was so influential in my life that I decided to attend The Institute of Integrative Nutrition in order to receive the same whole body, whole mind approach to living and healing. This is where Acne Beautiful was born.
I used to have severe acne and I used to struggle with my skin day in and day out. I began to get acne around puberty and it persisted well into my 20s. I thought about the state of my skin every morning, every night and every chance I got. I was addicted to looking in the mirror, yet I hated what I saw.
I secretly hoped that each time I looked in the mirror my acne would magically disappear.
I encountered all forms of acne and the mental and physical suffering that accompanies it. Even after freeing myself from this plague, I would have unexpected breakouts with seemingly no explanation, but I later learned from working with many clients that there are many factors throughout our lives that can influence our skin health (including whether we get a bought of acne or not).
Being free from this plague has lifted me up to a new level of awareness about my health and the internal mechanisms of my body. Now, I help others navigate the unpredictable journey through acne. It took time, dedication and patience...
So, what did I do? I developed the Triple Threat Treatment. This system is what I use at Acne Beautiful as the basis for my coaching. There are three distinct branches within the Triple Threat Treatment. I call it a system because it is one. There are levels one must build upon in order to achieve full balance.
Does this mean that I never get a pimple? NO! I am human and acne is the chronic condition that I deal with. I may get a flare up when things go awry, but I know what to do to get it under control and keep it at bay. Today, I hardly ever get a pimple at all and the constant worry that plagued my daily life is gone. You can have this feeling too!
It is not impossible.
It took me a long time to realize how much of my thought processes were consumed by acne. It was a close and constant thought. The freedom from acne is immense. Many everyday things that triggered my acne thoughts were gone. I could wear a helmet without worrying that the straps would aggravate my skin. I could wear sunscreen without freaking out. I could leave a pillowcase on my pillow for more than two nights at a time. I could shower and be ready to leave the house in ten minutes without worry or concern about how my skin looked. I could sleep in a tent without worrying about how I would wash my face. The list goes on and on....
Acne Beautiful Complexion Coaching is a force powered by passion, research, knowledge and skill.
This is a different way of thinking about your dermatological needs. It is not rocket science, but there is something quite skillful about the art of assessing acne.
I would love the opportunity to help you heal your skin from within. The simple pleasure of washing your face and feeling smooth skin underneath your finger tips is something worth working for.
