my story
About Me
My professional journey began in Moscow, where I earned a Master’s degree in Publishing from Moscow State University of Printing Arts. After moving to California, I earned a second Master’s degree in Accounting.
However, skincare and cosmetology have always been my true passion. I eventually decided to follow that passion, completed my professional esthetics education, and became a licensed esthetician in Texas in 2011. Two years later, in 2013, I established MODO Spa in my own private studio in Austin.
With nearly 15 years of experience in esthetics, I genuinely love what I do. Our skin is the body’s largest organ, and its health plays an important role in our overall well-being. I believe that healthy, well-cared-for skin not only helps us look our best but also contributes to how we feel about ourselves.
Beyond my work, I am a wife and mother. My husband, David, and I moved to Austin with our son, Alex, drawn by the city’s relaxed atmosphere and quality of life.
In my spare time, I enjoy watercolor painting, music, paper arts, crocheting, and knitting. Creativity has always been an important part of my life, and I bring that same attention to detail and personal touch to every treatment I perform.
