“My teachers in school were absolutely sure that I was going to the conservatory, but they didn’t know that violin was just a passion as I explored and journeyed on with my dreams.  My inner voice kept urging me to play the music that my heart heard… And so I pursued my desire to help other people feel beautiful! I went to Medical School and the Esthetic Institute instead the conservatory. Neither my clients nor I have ever regretted my decision.”

Nataliya practiced Medical Esthetics and Electrology at well known plastic surgery clinics in Khabarovsk, Moscow, and at her own beauty salon “Charovnitza” in Magadan, Russia until 1999 when she immigrated to the United States.

“A year ago I was visiting my family in Ukraine and I spent some time with my favorite aunt, who offered me kind words of praise. She said no one in our family had achieved business success like I had. “You are our Golden Nugget,” she said. Her pride resonated deeply, as she had been my first mentor when I began my profession in the beauty industry. I am very thankful to my aunt Tatyana, my dearest daughters Dariya and Sofiya, and my sweet mother Lyudmila, for their unconditional  love, continuing support, encouragement in my endeavors to which I attribute my success.”
