Ilona is from Latvia, Eastern Europe and has been sharing her skill and the secrets of European skin care traditions with population from Central Ohio since 2006. She travelled and lived in Latvija, France, Denmark and Netherlands prior to moving to USA. Her extensive knowledge of herbs and cosmetic botanicals comes from her growing up and spending a lot of time on her family farm in the Southern region of Latvia, called Latgale, where she spent summers helping her grandmother Tekla Lazdane (1925-2013) gather herbs and botanicals for the "winter pharmacy." "My grandmother taught me about botanical efficacy and timing, she used to say, while pointing at leaves of plants or berries: "This will relieve cough, this you can add to your hair rinse, this will aid as a skin remedy for scrapes and bruising..."All plants were picked before summer solstice usually 23rd of June, and at certain hour of the day, as plants were believed to have the most potency and reach their full bloom prior to that time, and the results were amazing, that taught me how powerful healing forces of nature can be" (I.Thomas,2014) It was at age of 11, that she has given her grandmother her first facial using several herbal blends and homemade masks. Ilona Thomas has 10 year experience in the beauty industry, gained, by working for cosmetic's tycoons such as Lancôme, Chanel and Mac, as a beauty advisor and make-up artist within the framework of Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue and Macy's retail stores.

Ilona takes time to listen to concerns and educate each and every client on improving their skin health, by modifying their daily regimens and habits. “It is easy to improve an appearance, if you have made a conscious choice and are absolutely ready to experience the transformation, but the decision to look better always starts with the intent, and that has to come from my client, in response to that, I will put all my gadgets, modalities, solutions and blends to work to deliver desired results."(I.
