The idea behind LUMA was created from a health journey I believe many can relate to. Five years ago, my demanding job and stressful lifestyle led to serious health issues, including high inflammation, a thyroid disorder, and PCOS. After realizing that conventional medicine alone wasn’t enough, I made significant lifestyle changes. I replaced high-intensity workouts with low-intensity, yet high impact pilates and yoga, incorporated red light therapy, and became more mindful of the ingredients in the products I used. Ultimately, these changes dramatically improved my health. I lost weight, gained energy, enhanced my digestive health, and reduced inflammation, allowing me to balance my busy life with a healthier one.

Inspired by my health improvement through exercise, I began researching non-toxic products and began making non-toxic swaps for everyday products I used. As a fair-skin girl, one of my favorite self-care products is a spray tan. When I learned about the harsh chemicals and ingredients in spray tanning, I knew there had to be a better way. Through this discovery, I found clean spray tan ingredients and eventually created a luxurious spray tan service that prioritizes conscious ingredients and customized natural looking color.

This studio has been a dream many years in the making and I’m excited to expand this wellness experience with others, helping them feel elevated and radiant while embracing healthier lifestyles through red light and infrared heat infused pilates and yoga classes along with custom spray tans. I am excited to help Navy Yard glow from the inside out and I can’t wait to see you in the studio!
