Who is Alyssa Gorge?

 
            Alyssa is an artist, mother, licensed cosmetologist, & holistic beauty practitioner. She centers her practice around body sovereignty, using a wellness-focused approach. 


Alyssa attended cosmetology school with the intention of becoming a makeup artist. During her time there, she was taken aback to see how normalized it was for people to use toxic chemicals and painful methods to change their appearance in the name of beauty. Realizing how heavily the industry relied on exploiting insecurities, especially those of women, she knew that she would be doing a disservice to herself and to others by utilizing & offering mainstream beauty and cosmetic services.


After graduating cosmetology school, she made a commitment to herself to learn how to radically love her body, and take full responsibility for her health and well-being. She chose to liberate herself from the incessant need to change her appearance with cosmetics, and embarked on a journey of learning to accept & embrace her natural features. She began to regard beauty as a sacred practice, and started focusing her work around nurturing the wellbeing & sovereignty of the client.


She was no longer interested in “changing” anything about herself or others. This was especially important to her when she became a mother to twins in 2019. She stepped into the knowing that true beauty comes from within, and that nurturing ourselves is the way to illuminating our inner radiance.




Her intention is to help clients create sovereignty for their body and their beauty, by guiding them towards making lifestyle choices that elevate vitality for the mind, body, and spirit. She believes that taking radical responsibility for our well-being is the greatest act of self-love, and the most intuitive beauty practice we can cultivate.
