Diane's Books 

I like to read, and I love to write.  

I’ve always been a reader first, and a writer not far behind. That combination led me to write two books for the esthetics industry—turning hands-on experience into something I could share and teach. More recently, I found myself pulled toward something more personal: women’s wellness. That pull became my third book, Notes from Your Fairy Godmother, written from a place of encouragement, reflection, and care for women who are learning to prioritize themselves again.

The Heart of Esthetics

2nd EDITION (Released December 25, 2021)

Welcome to the 2nd edition of The Heart of Esthetics, originally written in 2013. Over the past decade, esthetics has evolved significantly, and this edition includes more than 100 pages of updated information to reflect today’s industry and the modern role of the professional Esthetician.

Today’s Esthetician is far more than someone who performs facials or recommends products, those are simply tools used within a much larger scope of care. While many professionals focus heavily on technical training, equal attention must be given to building a loyal clientele and creating a financially sustainable business. At its core, modern esthetics is about strengthening the Esthetician-client relationship, guiding clients with expertise, and developing a clear client growth strategy that includes measurable marketing, thoughtful customization, and a well-structured service menu.

Whether you are a spa owner, solo Esthetician, new professional, or an experienced practitioner feeling burned out, this book was written for you.

Estheticians are a Girl's Best Friend

This booklet was created as a powerful educational tool for Estheticians to use with prospective clients. Its purpose is to bridge the gap between curiosity and trust by helping clients understand the value of professional skin care guidance.

Inside, readers are guided through the essentials of healthy skin and professional esthetic care, including common skin conditions, what to expect during a facial experience, and the role of professional hair removal services. It also explains how to properly use home care products for optimal results and highlights important, up-to-date information on skin cancer awareness.

In addition, it addresses a critical but often overlooked issue, the risks associated with purchasing professional-grade skincare products from unauthorized online sources. By the end, clients gain a clearer understanding of why working with a licensed esthetician leads to safer, more effective, and more personalized skin care outcomes.
