Meet the founder

Esthiwell is led by Vanessa Giarrusso, RN, LE—bringing a healthcare lens to wellness education for estheticians. Our content is designed to be practical, supportive, and grounded in real-life demands.

“As an esthetician and registered nurse my professional career has always been about helping people. I have worked in many different places, but the goal has always been similar. I do whatever I can to help my clients, or patients feel better, inside and out, so that they can work towards being the best and healthiest versions of themselves.

Using the knowledge and wisdom I have gained from my 20 plus years since becoming an esthetician, I have decided to educate and empower other estheticians to protect their bodies and regulate their nervous systems so they may stay in the industry long-term. An esthetician’s work is very important. We have the power to transform someone’s life by improving the condition of their skin and boosting their self-confidence. We can make people feel beautiful, amazing, and reduce their stress-levels! However, it is essential that we care for ourselves first.

Esthetician school teaches us many important aspects of this business, but it does not focus much at all on how to maintain our own wellness for career longevity. I created Esthiwell to help estheticians improve their knowledge so they can better care for themselves, which will enable them to take the best care of their clients.” –Vanessa Giarrusso, RN, LE
