Carving Her Own Path…

Toshiana is a licensed esthetician who grew into an international educator, traveling globally to facilitate spa and beauty-related programs that she created. At one time, she led a team of 250+ estheticians nationally as the Director of Esthetics for a corporate spa chain with over 30 locations. At another point in her career, she was the Regional Operations Director of four full-service spa/salons, including two inside of Saks Fifth Avenue and the Education Executive for the iconic brow artistry brand Anastasia Beverly Hills. Toshiana also held positions of leadership at other luxury influencer brands in spa, cosmetics and retail. In 2016, she left the corporate spa and beauty rat race to become a full-time entrepreneur who parlays her wealth of experience to small business owners, solo practitioners and independent brands to help them grow and scale.

However, when asked what she is most proud of, Toshiana says it’s her reputation of having thoughtful, compassionate and authentic connections that influence and inspire positive change. Seeing a gap in the spa and wellness space for professional development and education for those of diverse backgrounds, she created the Network of Multicultural Spa and Wellness Professionals to be the gap filler. More than that, she wanted to create a community that feels like a “tribe to thrive” and to be a beacon of light and excellence for the industry.

To stay up to date on what is happening in the industry, Toshiana continues to contribute, serve and volunteer. She is also a Usui Reiki Master who integrates energy practices for optimal well-being, wholeness and wellness in all she does.
