While working in the holistic and medical spa realm, Vivian knew she wanted to eventually create a space that embraced our imperfections and to heal from the inside out.

Vivian has always known she wanted to work as a Medical Aesthetician, as she suffered from severe cystic acne for most of her teenage and university years. After completing her bachelor's degree in Sociology at the University of Calgary, she enrolled in Esthetics School.

While Vivian worked a full time office job for many years after University and Esthetics School, she would work at spas on the weekend while she perfected her skills and put her expertise in medical aesthetics to use. It wasn't until after her second daughter was born in 2014 during, where she learned the art of cosmetic tattooing. Learning these skills allowed her to open up her first successful cosmetic tattoo shop while living in Kelowna.

In 2017, Vivian and her family moved back to Calgary. She continued to do cosmetic tattoos from her home studio, while working at a local medical spa treating skin concerns. In 2019, Kintsugi Studio －a Gua Sha and Facial Boutique Studio was founded, where her desire to continue helping individuals heal their skin concerns grew. During the cusp of the 2020 pandemic, she decided to leave her job and focus on Kintsugi Studio full-time.

Vivian is a certified Facial Gua Sha and Dien Chan Reflexology professional. She is bringing the tools and knowledge into her treatment room to enhance skin treatments that allow her clients to feel bliss out of their day-to-day lives. In 2021, Vivian will embark on her new journey as a student of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine to further elevate Kintsugi Studio.

Vivian knew she found the secret to Kintsugi Studio, when she observed the results of ancient rituals with modern skin treatments, giving her clients beautiful, healthy glowing skin and confidence.
