Diana is a 2023 graduate of the Paul Mitchell The School Esthetician & Massage Program.

Being a life-long learner, Diana’s expertise is quite varied. She grew up in a political family that owned a farm & bakery. Diana also worked as a model, so both of these opportunities gave her experience working with the public. She managed a health food restaurant and created all kinds of delicious natural soups and sandwiches. Diana continues to be a student of nutrition and alternative health. She is a big believer that the body can heal itself—you just may need a bit of assistance from time to time.

While being a single mom, Diana progressed to working at a private international boarding school for 20+ years. She held many positions: as a graphic artist and instructor, creating the AV lab and yearbooks with students. She moved on to being the Director of Marketing in the beginning era of the Internet. Again she advanced to the Director of Re-Enrollment and Giving —this was tough due to the 2008 housing and banking crisis.

It was at this time stress took a toll on her body! Besides giving chair massage to co-workers in her same position, she realized it was a futile road of ill health. She healed her body with exercise and nutrition, changed careers to managing health and fitness clubs and worked as a personal trainer helping others get healthy and fit. Then Covid came and health clubs shuttered.

Diana reinvented herself and received her license to sell Medicare plans. Finding this work unfulfilling, Diana went back to school and received her license providing massage and esthetician services. Coming full circle she is very happy to be providing these services and education to the public.
