Meet the Goddess Behind the Glow
Let me be real with you for a second.
I graduated high school in 1999 with a tanning membership and zero regrets about it, at the time. I was a Long Island girl who loved being outside, being on the water, and honestly? Being tan.
Then I went back to school at 30, got my esthetics license, and my teacher showed me a photo of a truck driver. One side of his face had aged an extra 20 years, just from UVA rays coming through his driver-side window every single day.
That image never left me. And it changed everything.
Hi Goddess
I’m Katie, licensed esthetician, esthetics instructor, mom, and your new favorite skincare bestie. I’ve spent over 13 years in this industry, including time teaching at an esthetics school, and I’ve personally navigated chronic hives, hyperpigmentation, and the overwhelming wall of products and advice that comes with trying to fix your skin.
I’ve been the client who didn’t know where to start. That’s exactly why I built Glo Up Goddess.
This isn’t just a place to shop. It’s a destination for real support, smart tools, and education that actually makes sense, no jargon, no shame, no fear-mongering. Just honest, science-backed guidance from someone who’s been in the treatment room, behind the textbooks, and yes, in the tanning bed too.
Whether you’re just starting your skincare journey, dealing with a specific skin concern, or working in the field yourself, you’re home here.
Here’s what I know for sure: when you know better, you do better. And it is never too late to start. The best time was yesterday. The second best time is right now.
Progress over perfection, always. Your future self will thank you.
