Our Story
My journey into skincare began at a young age after struggling with persistent acne throughout my teens. Like many, I turned to harsh, stripping products and aggressive treatments in hopes of “fixing” my skin — often causing more issues in the process. That experience shaped the way I approach skin today: with a focus on supporting the skin barrier, and working with your skin rather than against it.
After graduating high school, I enrolled in esthetics school and began building my career in luxury hotel spas, wellness clubs, and holistic skincare studios throughout the Seattle area.
In 2022, my husband and I relocated to Boise and shortly after, KOPRIVA Skin Studio was born. What started as a leap into the unknown has grown into a space dedicated to slowing down, reconnecting, and caring for skin in a more meaningful way.
My continued education has taken me across the United States and Europe, where I’ve trained extensively in anatomy-focused facial massage, lymphatic drainage, myofascial release, and sculpting techniques. These modalities are integrated into my treatments to support healthy skin function, improve circulation, release tension, and create results that feel as good as they look.
At KOPRIVA, my goal is to offer an alternative to aggressive, trend-driven skincare by creating treatments that are restorative, grounded, and deeply supportive of overall skin wellness.
