Let me be your Modification Pal!
What does that mean? It means that I care about:
Passion
LGBTQIA+ Advocacy
Body Positivity
Self-Expression
Trauma & Phobia-Informed Care
Marginalized, International, Neurodivergent, and First-Time Client Experience
Anodization
Continuous Learning & Networking
Servicing Unique Anatomy
Autonomy
Every human deserves bodily autonomy. I pride myself on presenting enough information for the client to have the opportunity to make informed decisions during their service.
Longevity
Safety is of the utmost importance. I follow strict guidelines of sterility to prevent cross-contamination in general and in accordance with APP membership requirements. In addition to safety during initial services, it is also important to me to ensure longevity of the desired result. This comes down to techniques, tools, and educating myself and my clients.
I want my clients to be supported in decision-making, receive the best service possible, and be educated enough to feel comfortable taking care of their modification long-term.
