Meet Shari

Welcome to HEAL, a space where deep green beauty rituals blend with modern science and ancient skin + wellness techniques. Shari’s focus on treating the skin through connecting with the Whole Being provides an elevated level of care that you won’t find in most traditional facial spas. As a Certified Esthetician + Educator, her approach always involves sharing a deeper understanding of how the skin reflects internal wellness or dis-ease from a mind, body, soul perspective. Healthy skin starts within.

Having gotten her first pimple at the age of 11 + struggling with acne through her teens, 20’s + into her 30’s, Shari’s passion for learning about skin health spans almost 40 years! Having tried every product under The Sun, it wasn’t until Shari began looking inward for the answers to why her skin wasn’t healing. Her healing journey began in her 20’s with cleaner eating, mindfulness practices, therapy + energy work, and of course, switching to cleaner beauty products, which ultimately led her back to school to become a Professional Skin Therapist!

Working at 2 of Toronto’s premier natural skincare clinics allowed Shari to learn both Western + Eastern Wellness Philosophies and to dive into the world of Herbalism, using plant ingredients to support her clients towards achieving healthy, balanced, glowing skin, naturally. Working on thousands of faces with plant-powered ingredients, along with a variety of manual techniques has allowed Shari to see Real Results in her clients without ever having to use harsh products or invasive procedures. The magic of Shari’s facial treatments comes from her heart, her hands + the plants themselves.

Over the course of her career, Shari has received extensive education, including a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, Certification in Professional Spa Therapy, Aromatherapy, Health + Life Coaching, Reiki, Dr Vodder’s Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Natural Therapeutic Facelift Massage, Gua Sha, Facial Cupping, Yin Yoga. Studying Skin Science, Wellness + Traditional Herbalism is ongoing + forever!

Shari has recently created HEAL Holistic Skincare, a line of clean, green + highly effective plant-powered skincare. Shari is passionate about providing her clients the best in holistic skin + wellness therapies that are always grounded in integrity, authenticity + love.
