My Story & Mission

Five years ago, I created my HEAD SPA experiences out of a very personal need. I had been a cosmetologist for 15 years, but after years of working in traditional salons, the constant chemical exposure began to take a serious toll on my health and spirit. That season became a turning point, leading me to leave the conventional salon environment and open an intimate holistic hair studio. At the same time, I was moving through a dark season of depression and didn’t feel like I had a safe place to receive care. Even basic self-care, like washing my hair, felt overwhelming. I started wearing a hat almost every day and began losing hair.

As a neurodivergent, highly sensitive person, I longed for a space where scent, sound, and environment didn’t overwhelm me. A space where I could enter in my raw form, without judgment. A space where I could pause, soften, and feel held. That vision became the seed for the HEAD SPA I built, a safe haven for ALL HUMANS, a come-as-you-are space to melt into rest and reconnect with the nervous system through intentional touch.

Through therapy, detoxification, and continued healing, I brought that dream to life and grew it into a beautiful business. But earlier this year, I realized I was drifting away from my true purpose. My heart wasn’t called to create another “luxury service”.. it was called to support people through their mental health journey.

So I made a shift. On August 15th 2025, I shared on TikTok that I had been offering “pay-what-you-can” Mental Health Head Spa experiences and it finally reached the audience it was meant for. Within 24 hours, the video went viral and over 40 new clients booked. These are people who may never have been able to access this care because of the elevated price.

Where You Come In

In the comments, many people asked if I had a GoFundMe in place, so those with the means could donate and support others in accessing these healing experiences.

This touched me deeply, because when I was going through my dark season, I was over $100,000 in debt and couldn’t afford the kind of support I needed. I know firsthand how touch therapy and a safe, intentional space can mean when you’re struggling just to keep going.

Your donation will directly support individuals in need- people moving through depression, grief, stress, or survival mode- so they can receive this care without the financial barrier. It will also help me continue to offer these experiences regularly and expand their reach far and wide. My vision is to create a ripple of healing, touching not just my local community but eventually the masses

If you’ve made it this far, THANK YOU for being here. Thank you for reading my story, for sharing in this mission, and for believing in this work. Every dollar, every share, every word of encouragement is a piece of this movement.

From the depths of my heart, I am eternally grateful for your support.

With love,
