Hi, I’m Shay — a licensed esthetician with over a year of hands-on experience and advanced training in MACSL lymphatic drainage (Mizokami method). My love for the beauty industry began early, but my deeper connection to skincare grew through my own experiences with acne and sensitive skin. Those challenges shaped the way I approach skin today — with patience, empathy, and intention. 

I created Sanctuary by Shay to be a place where you can truly slow down, relax, and reset. Inspired by my mom and the women I’ve had the privilege of caring for, I specialize in pre-menopause and hormonally influenced skin. I support the natural changes that occur during this phase of life with compassion, education, and intentional care. I believe facials are not only about skin health, but also nervous-system regulation. My goal is for every client to feel safe, seen, and completely unrushed — leaving refreshed in their skin and restored from within.
