Meet Stephanie
Hello, I'm Stephanie — a wife, a mom, an Aesthetician, Certified Nutritional Aesthetics Practitioner, natural living lover, ingredient label aficionado, essential oil & herb enthusiast, and a spirit junkie. I have been working in the skin health and beauty industry for over 17 years.
I am deeply passionate about inspiring women to love themselves, to feel confident in their own skin, and teaching them how to age gracefully with an inside, outside integrative approach.
The Story Behind the Why
The story behind my "why" is simple. I struggled with severe cystic acne from my early teens until well into adulthood. I have complete empathy for those who don't feel 100% confident in their own skin — my journey held crippling insecurities and a feeling of isolation. That experience is what drives everything I do at Sapphire.
I received my aesthetic training in 2005 from Xenon International School in Omaha, Nebraska. From there I moved to Scottsdale, Arizona where I worked and trained with a prestigious dermatologist, performing clinical facials, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, laser services and assisting with more invasive aesthetic treatments. Then love struck — I met my husband, and together we moved to Connecticut.
I worked at a popular Medical Spa in Connecticut before opening my first business, Karma Skincare. As my philosophy on skin health evolved to a more holistic and integrative approach, Karma Skincare blossomed into Sapphire Aesthetics. I have combined my clinical training with my passion for holistic, toxin-free living to help my clients achieve remarkable results — without ingredients that could harm the health and vitality of your body.
A Little More About Me
When not at Sapphire Aesthetics, I am spending time with my husband Chris and our two energetic children, Dacoda and Aerabella. We love quality cuisine, traveling, being outdoors and the beach. I sincerely look forward to working with you on your skin health and self-care journey.
