About Our Founder | Milwaukee, WI | Urbaine Oasis Spa
Brainchild of Urbaine Oasis Spa Boutique in Milwaukee, WI - Reveals the Motivation Behind the Spa
After years of struggling with persistent skin issues, I finally uncovered the root cause: an undiagnosed dairy allergy. This revelation was a turning point, prompting a complete overhaul of my diet and a more targeted approach to skincare. The transformation in my skin was remarkable, and it ignited a passion within me to help others achieve similar results.
This personal journey directly inspired the vision for Urbaine Oasis Spa Boutique. My goal was to create a sanctuary where clients could find solutions to their own unique skin challenges, much like I found mine. We specialize in identifying underlying causes of skin concerns and developing personalized treatment plans with precision, ensuring each is tailored and executed to deliver real, lasting results. As part of our comprehensive approach to skin health and overall well-being, we also offer a range of body treatments designed to promote relaxation, rejuvenation, and enhanced skin vitality. At Urbaine Oasis Spa Boutique, we are dedicated to empowering our clients to overcome their skin problems and achieve the radiant, healthy skin they deserve.

Owner & Esthetician
Why Choose Me?
I’m always learning and growing in this field, seriously! I’ve put in over 10,000 hours of training and have a ton of qualifications to show for it. I’m a licensed Esthetician, a CIDESCO International Beauty Therapist (which means I can practice in 30+ countries), an Esthetics Instructor, a Certified DermaplanePro Trainer, a Laser Technician, and even a skilled Makeup Artist. I offer professional makeup services, including customized makeup applications for special occasions and events. All that experience means I can offer you a really comprehensive and specialized approach to skincare and beauty, delivered with precision and meticulous attention to detail.
Beyond working directly with clients, I’m super passionate about giving back and making a difference in the beauty industry. I’m a proud Board Member of the Wisconsin Cosmetology Examining Board, where I get to help make sure licensed professionals and their businesses are safe and clean. I focus on ensuring everyone is working within their scope and following all the rules, which ultimately keeps clients safe and maintains the integrity of our profession.
My commitment to community wellness goes even further – I’m actively involved with several non-profits. I’m a member of Visit Milwaukee, the African-American Chamber of Commerce, the Hmong Chamber of Commerce, the South Eastern Wisconsin Latino Chamber of Commerce, and the East Town Association. Through these groups, I’m really working to boost wellness awareness throughout the amazing Milwaukee community and for all its visitors.
And guess what? I’m also the proud founder of our in-house Wellness Collective! It’s a fantastic initiative that celebrates and features other independently owned, women-led small businesses. This collaborative space is all about offering a diverse range of services and products, creating a supportive environment for local entrepreneurs, and enriching the wellness options for all our clients.
