About Anna

Anna, founder, creator, and formulator is a holistic esthetician with 15+ years of experience. She founded Oil Studio in 2019 when life as we know it, was changing forever. During this time she left her life in California and relocated to her home state of Idaho.

Before opening Oil Studio in Boise, she had her own practice in Santa Barbara. Throughout the years she has worked at various salons and spas in Seattle, Los Angeles and Santa Barbara.

Anna believes in treating the skin from a holistic and integrative approach. What we eat, how we move, what media we consume, our relationships with others and ourself, all matter when it comes to our overall health—as well as the health of our skin.

In Anna’s treatments you can expect each one to be different than the last. All are apothecary style, meaning there is no treatment plan until you come in and we interact with your skin. After that, custom masks are blended using raw plant compounds, fruit acids, fruit enzymes, flower waters, and concentrated plant tinctures to create what is best suitable for your skin at that time.

Anna studied psychology at University of Oregon before attending the Aveda Institute in Seattle. She has trained with the Green Beauty Academy and taken classes in herbalism, integrative health, facial reflexology, advanced facial massage, TCM, and Ayurveda.

When she’s not at the shop Anna loves to explore the mountains, cook, garden, hang out with her cat, travel, and dance.
