Makeup is my Magical Super Power

What is the level of transformation you offer for someone transitioning gender MTF?

Makeup is an incredible tool for transforming the facial features!
 Brows can be redone, Eyes lined to reshape and enhance
Lips softened and colorized.
Age appropriate makeup can be selected that speaks to the
true presence .I also am a permanent makeup artist so these looks can be created easily so daily application is a base and "fuss/muss free"
 I also would suggest skin treatment because the skin should be re-conditioned and less base foundation would be needed.
I am considered a minimalist in makeup; essentially I know exactly what works!!
I also am very very fortunate to work with a facial feminization specialist and a body restoration
surgeon ~  heaven ~!~  ( this is also helpful for the FTM patients)



How is this achieved ?

First a number of photos are taken . Both profile views , frontal
and the face is analyzed for  shape and structure
 There is a way to identify the more feminine features and masculine
Each area in the Patient profile is identified with the best makeup treatment to achieve
the morphography desired.
For instance :beard coverage achieved by "tricks of the makeup trade"
Colorations are actually chosen to be attractive and in accordance with skintone,eyecolor
lifestyle , event or outfits.


Is it a big commitment ?

As with all studies of feminine and masculine the level of dedication is important .
The biggest issue to address is the comfort,wearability and attaining the level of believability.
I find the biggest achievement  is your to mastery to apply our ideas
 to yourself ;  that is a rewarding part of the practice.

Why should I come to you verses a makeup department store?

I am working in a private room  in a Medical facility ...and
 ... the session is all about you!
 the rates are 75 a half hour -Makeup Coaching
You are not put on display nor pressured to buy anything!
You can bring your own product to the  instruction and sometimes I have the more correct tools ;)
If they need to be special ordered which is a separate bill or we need to take a "field trip"once again you pay for my time.
also , what I charge is based on paramedical aesthetic rates for my industry
there is no raise in rates for transgender:).
I am booked in advance my service is paid online

Always learning

I pride my self on being adjustable sometimes mutable all for the sake of learning and being part of the experience.As with actively participating in the activity
There is always room for improvement, I must keep my eyes wide open and remain eager and child -like with intuition and awareness on high
So when the time passes and I look back can I remember the lessons?. Maybe they have been absorbed and stand as red flags or the time to take off "the governor" full speed ahead
I like the idea of being a magical being experiencing this dimension for the first time as surreal as that sounds it is best to sometimes take the role of the observer/- always learning

Keep your focus.

distractions have a way of sneaking in  I am not regarding linear time
I want to revisit the concerns that started me on this journey of evolving
The emphasis really needs to go back to the beginning   Start with the basics
What concerns my patients are experiencing?  The eyes,neck.
Texture of skin and proper corrective care that does not cause trauma
More importantly a notation to the process. I can properly assess in a premedical setting so that is my intention and goal to go back to the clinic and explore protocols

New Emotions

More thoughts  with regards to  Transformation
Emotions can lead us astray. The new thought process paradigm
involves a new set of habitual power virtues
How empowering this is !!
I can rationalize a new set of values and re-write the script
It involves changing the power or intensity of emotions

We all want to live in a certain state ;that is free from fears
I think replacing those emotions with a determination to focus,pay attention to details and speak with certainty and faith
This courageous commitment becomes a positive habit replacing the negative beliefs
It does involve the totality  of awareness and intensity !
The payoff is living in empowerment and becoming a resource for others as well.

What if you could follow your heart?
All of us are in love with creating more that we can love

BENEFITS OF A CANCER SPECIFIC AESTHETICS PROGRAM

Through years of experience in my own Aesthetics practice I have developed a system of service based on ATD  (Attention to the details ) the best way for it to be provided to the patients is through a direct referral from a doctor - even in a prescription format  This would be incorporated into a package for the patient  pre-treatment or post
this concept is of great benefit
1.Better results in healing and recovery for the patients
there is nothing more gratifying than speeding up the healing process or returning the patient back to their life  more -enlightened.
2.Patient confidence and self -esteem increased
just the tiniest things can make the biggest difference
3.Service and product are designed specific to increase healing and patient is monoteredcarefully
following the use of S.O.AP. and other technique used in a clinical setting.
4.Great affiliation with medical practices
Common goals are achieved raising the level of service for all.
5. Facility and treatment rooms are designed to accomidate special needs
Easy on premises accessibility and privacy   temperature controls, treatment beds that lower electronically, comfortable ,soothing colorations, good natural lighting
6.Return Visits,
 follow up and return appointments rebooked electronically with reminders

Journey to Transformation.......and Being Fabulous ..Connect the Dots

Of course appearance is important.   When recovering from a surgery,cancer or illness it is one of the most encouraging powers that we have. This is what I do it is reflective in the outward appearance and it does not matter whether I start with a clearing,  or just jump in to Analysis and Cleansing
 The patient /client  usually dumps emotions first whether that is a talking process or it could be more emotional than that - releasing old toxic energies .
This is the development of a concentrated effort- I have ATD=Attention to Details (  it just means I pay attention and take notes)
For any patients/ client  it is about the senses - some of us are more intuitive than others,; and some senses are more fine tuned.  I try to cover all the bases .  the atmosphere of my Mini Spa is 1. Clean,Uncluttered 2.Smells good 3.Feels cozy and comfortable 4. Looks upscale 5. I have cleared the space and put a positive vibe out.
they also trust me and integrity is hug . What I pick to put onto there skin is just as important with knowledge of what it can do, what is important to their skin condition and knowing it will do what I say it will - major responsibility.  I do not dis-appoint  
Most important to me is to have a reliable Network of doctors and technicians that I can rely on to take care of my patient and carry on the good work - I am still in the process of gathering these people.
Reputation is paramount. I must walk the walk-and talk the talk from everything to diet/blood type philosophy to emotional ,spitritual and guidance with integrity.
Recently have been meeting some of those specialists and i am very happy that the Universe is providing those sources - all you have to do is ..ask~

WHAT is a Press Release any way/

Aint that Special??
What does everyone need for their skin ??
Care!!
Forgotten skin along with the carelessness of youth One day you look in the mirror and screeeeech
Although those smart people are doing maintenance I have been working with skin for almost 22 years and I have seen the difference in those who keep up with at least a home regime
no recession here~~

SO WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THIS BLOGGING SYSTEM???
