The Cosmetics and Skin Care industries have been my career focus for 25 years.

Beginning in the 1980’s I worked as Guest and Corporate Makeup Artist for numerous international cosmetic companies.

The excitement and challenge of the film, fashion and television industries lured me- and I soon began providing special effects and other makeup services for film and television productions, major fashion shows and TV news teams throughout the United States.

After apprenticing with numerous award-winning makeup artists, I also studied restorative and corrective makeup procedures to assist burn and scar patients.

Returning to school in 1991, I received my Aesthetics licensing and also certification in Color Analysis.
During this time, I became aware of the rather toxic ingredients routinely used in skin, hair and body care products-as well as in color cosmetics; and I devoted myself to learning about Holistic skin care and natural product formulation. I then went on to serve as a cosmetics and skin care manufacturing and marketing consultant, serving corporate clients internationally.

It soon became my mission to educate women- and men- about non-toxic grooming, and the crucial role the skin plays in overall health.

It was during this time that I began to build a network of wonderfully talented and caring licensed professionals-all of whom share an interest and passion in alternative medicine, holistic skin care, all- natural health and beauty practices, women's health issues and anti-aging research.

It matters greatly to me -and the Menopauserus.com team- that women be shown a healthier, more loving way to be the best they can be – especially as they move through the Menopause process!

This process might be met with feelings of relief, peace and acceptance-or depression, anxiety and illness. How a woman accepts this inevitable time in her life depends largely upon the cultural and societal norms that prevail in her day to day life. Read

-The Ghost of Periods Past-

Menopause is so much more than just an inner shifting of hormones and a cessation of our reproductive fertility. It is a plateau on Life's journey and should be treated with reverence, respect- and appreciation. It is not an ending- but is instead a beginning. Read

Holy Smokes! Is that a STORK Heading Your Way??!!

Menopause is a time of Life actually embraced by many women- and rightly so. These women view Menopause as a fresh new beginning that affords them freedom from the disruption of monthly menstrual periods- and the accompanying fear of pregnancy that so often accompanies the monthly cycles of fertility.

A Word to the Wise-from Someone Who Knows.

It's time we realized that Aging will happen- but only if we’re lucky. The simple truth is: Aging is not a disease- or a deformity to be hidden at any and all costs. Beauty is present- on every level and at every stage of Life- PERIOD. We must look for it, seek it out- and acknowledge it-- when and where we find it. Read
