I am 21 years old, raised in the Austin area. My specialty is body waxing and aesthetics. I have a passion for learning new modalities and techniques in the skin and body realm. I have been licensed for three years and love what I do!
In the treatment room, I offer a safe and comfortable environment that allows for my clients to feel welcome and relaxed. So whether it's your first Brazilian wax or your fiftieth, you can bank that your experience here at Bloom will be top tier.
On my down time I love being with my family, learning new things and being outdoors.

OFFICE MANAGER
I am from El Paso, TX where I attended Northwest Early College High School. While in high school I completed my A.A. in Biology, then attended Our Lady of the Lake University to receive my B.S. in Biology with a minor in Psychology. I have volunteered at University Medical Center of El Paso in the telemetry, cardiovascular intensive care unit, and the emergency room. I worked in the Our Lady of the Lake University Biology department laboratory as a lab tech.
I am married to my wonderful husband, Gustavo. I am passionate about health and fitness. I also enjoy being outdoors, hiking, trying new foods, tidying up, and longboarding. I love being able to help people live their best lives in a way best fit for them.

I'm passionate about healing with holistic medicine and I love trail riding. I've been married to Dr. Collins for 15 years and together we have three boys- so there's never a dull moment in our household.

our practice philosophy.
Food is the best medicine and the first line of defense for your body. Nutritional plans that promote health and wellness are a critical component to improving many conditions. Every cell in your body is fed by your thoughts and feelings. Emotional well-being is a crucial step toward optimizing your health and something we will work on together.Healing is different for everyone. No two journeys are alike and your path to healing should be as unique as you are.It’s all connected. I believe in treating the whole body and working to get to the root of your health problems for a deeper resolution to what has kept you from feeling your best. Biomedicine is critical and necessary in many instances, but my focus is to bring you to a level of health where prescription medicines are minimized or eliminated all-together in a healthy, step-down manner and with the help of your PCP when at all possible. Collaborative health care is the best care. As your Doctor of Acupuncture in Kyle, TX and Hays county, I work with your team of healthcare providers with an end goal of providing the best care to you. f you’re suffering from acute or chronic pain, complex medical issues, or if you are in need of general health support, I’m here to serve you and I look forward to leading you down a path of healing and wellness.
