Our Story

For nearly two decades, I have helped people improve their health across clinical, spa, and wellness settings as a master's trained functional nutritionist and professional certified coach. From designing nutrition programs at One Medical to developing wellness programs at Cavallo Healing Arts Center and Spa, COMO Hotels & Resorts in Bali, and Miraval in Tucson, one truth became clear: as the body changes, the skin reflects it.

What I observed professionally became personal in my 30s and 40s as my skin texture shifted, my barrier weakened, and the routines I had relied on for years stopped delivering the same results. I came to understand that hormones, inflammation, sleep, stress, nutrient status, and declining collagen production all influence the health and appearance of the skin. I call this The Skin Shift, the natural recalibration that occurs in midlife as the body's internal systems evolve and the skin responds. Yet few skincare brands were addressing these changes in a meaningful way, so I founded Trêve to support women through this transition.

My commitment to skin health extends beyond formulation. As a Washington State manufacturer, Trêve operates under the Toxic-Free Cosmetics Act, and I continue to advocate for stronger cosmetic safety standards at both the state and federal level. Every Trêve formula is thoughtfully crafted with high-quality, clean ingredients selected to support skin as a reflection of overall health. I do not just formulate to a higher standard. I continue to advocate for one.
