​

My connection to beauty, skin and wellness began at an early age. I started as a professional ballerina at 15 and went on to spend 20 years in the Los Angeles entertainment industry, touring, performing and appearing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. My years in that world gave me a deep appreciation for beauty, self-care and the importance of feeling confident in your own skin.

When I left entertainment, I followed my passion for wellness to Ruby Room Wellness Spa, which ultimately led me to The University of Aesthetics, where I earned my degree in Esthetics and became a licensed esthetician.

After returning to California and becoming a mother of two, I joined the Dr. Alkaitis family business as the Southern California Representative and Educator for their Holistic Organic Skin Food Line. I continued building my esthetics career in Los Angeles while pursuing advanced education and earning my NCEA certification.

I created Opalino as a place where my love of skin health, wellness and beautiful, intentional treatments could come together. Inspired by my Italian grandmother, Opalino reflects my belief that healthy, radiant skin begins with treating the individual—not simply the surface.

My approach is centered on results-driven, non-invasive treatments for clients who want to look and feel their best without significant downtime or more invasive procedures. I believe there is tremendous value in supporting the skin through thoughtful, consistent treatments and advanced esthetic techniques—helping my clients maintain their results and feel confident in their skin at every stage.
