Meet Your Skin Therapist

Hi! I’m Sola and the skincare nerd behind Cocoa Esthetiques. I started Cocoa with the vision of providing professional & results-driven skincare treatments for diverse skin in the Calgary area.

My love for skincare started when I began to deal with acne at the age of 14. I tried so many different products and regimens and when I finally started to look for professional help, I realized there weren't a lot of options in Calgary that worked with skin of color. I started Cocoa Esthetiques to bridge this gap because I believe everyone should have access to professional, accessible & evidence-based skincare services.

Along the way, I learned a lot more about skin health and physiology and this has not only transformed my practice, but also my personal skin. Education is power and I am very happy to be able to use the knowledge I've obtained to heal my skin and many others'. I'm a dedicated esthetician with a passion for skincare that celebrates and supports diverse skin types and tones. Specializing in personalized treatments, I understand that each client’s skin is unique, and I take pride in creating solutions that honor these differences.

My approach is rooted in Corneotherapy, a science-backed method focused on restoring and maintaining the integrity of the skin’s barrier. By prioritizing the health of the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of skin), I aim to help clients achieve not only immediate results but also long-term resilience and radiance.
Whether you’re looking to address specific concerns or simply maintain healthy, glowing skin, my practice is here to guide you on a journey toward balanced, beautiful skin. My ultimate goal is to empower each client to feel confident in their skin. I invite you to experience skincare that honors your individuality and respects your skin’s natural integrity.
