Janice Bastien was born and raised in Long Island, New York. After graduating from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, her love of the ocean and swimwear brought her to
Southern California where she worked in the fashion industry for nine years. She always loved coming to Hawaii and on one trip she never left. After witnessing the damage |
|
|
inflicted on her skin by years in the sun, Janice decided to learn to heal herself. After educating herself about skin care, she was inspired to start a new career in esthetics in
order to help others protect and heal their skin. She attended the International School of Beauty and Esthetics in Honolulu for formal training and is currently an esthetician at the

I came to Hawaii in 1995 to pursue a career in surfing.I have surfed competitively for 8 of the last 12 yrs. I have been a Licensed Massage Therapist for 8 yrs and a Licensed Esthetician
for 4 yrs. I have worked, as both at Aveda for the last 6 yrs. Because of my life long interest in anything active, I found massage to be a natural extension of my passions and a very
|
|
|
suitable profession for my lifestyle out here on the North Shore. And after being introduced to the benefits of serious skin care, esthetics became a very appealing
addition. Besides my spa work, I also enjoy some stunt and surf related media work.
I am currently getting my National Massage Certification; Orthepedic Assessment and Rehab Certification; and National Personal Training Certification. I will be living and working in The Newport,
CA area this summer, doing an internship at a Sports Medicine clinic; hopefully a stint at the US Olympic Training Center. |
