Hi, I’m Dafney—founder of Skin Alchemy Collective, nurse anesthetist, advanced aesthetic provider, and forever skin nerd.

With a background in both medicine and makeup artistry, I created Skin Alchemy Collective as a place where clinical care meets creative intuition—and where every treatment begins with skin health, not sales goals.

With over 18 years in healthcare as a doctoral-prepared nurse anesthetist, I’ve developed a deep respect for precision, safety, and what lies beneath the surface. That same mindset shapes how I approach aesthetics today: thoughtfully, holistically, and with a focus on long-term skin integrity.

I’m not anti-filler—I’m pro-collagen. My approach is regenerative, not reactive. I won’t recommend a treatment you don’t need, and I’ll always help you understand your options so you can make informed, empowered choices.

Whether you’re brand new to aesthetic treatments or looking for something more personalized and intentional, my goal is simple: to help you feel like yourself—refined, restored, and thriving in your skin.
