The Phoenix Story
Rising From the Ashes 🔥
When Phoenix began, we weren't even Phoenix. We were Pin Me Up Boudoir — a name that represented a very different version of me.
In 2015, I began my boudoir journey as a very different woman than the one you see now. I had just begun to learn how to love who I was and find the confidence within myself that you see today. It was a long journey, friend.
In 2022, I was hit with a severe health crisis for a whole year. During that time my body went through so many changes that I could barely learn to love one version before it would change again. Every day was an absolute struggle just to make it through the day and keep doing what I love.
That's when I began to see something different in the mirror — something much deeper than the things going on with my body on the surface. It was a different me that was being born. My health was so bad that it DEMANDED a different version of myself step up to the plate in order to just survive the day.
I found a strength and beauty in myself during that time that I had never seen before — even though I was at my physical worst.
That's when I knew my brand no longer represented who I was. A phoenix symbolizes rising from the ashes of who you were to be reborn. I seek to help every woman meet a new “reborn” version of herself in each session.
“You are beautiful for WHO YOU ARE. Learn to love her. Learn to take care of her. Learn to see her beauty for more than just what's on the surface. It's finally time.”
“People will stare. Make it worth their while.”
