Get to Know Me

Fern

Founder, Licensed Esthetician 

Hi, I’m Fernanda, also known as Fern — founder of Earthen Grace Esthetics, where skincare meets soul care.

My Story

My story begins before I was born — with my parents in Brazil. Long before they stepped foot in the U.S., they were creators at heart. My dad made Brazilian treats by hand, wrapping each treat and selling them to local markets. My mom crafted homemade perfumes, which she would lovingly give away to friends and family. She loved macramé and poured herself into the creative arts. My parents built and created long before they ever owned a business. Their love for craftsmanship and care shaped the foundation of everything I value today.

When they came to America, they brought that same spirit with them. For years, they worked in an Italian restaurant, learning the rhythm of service and the hustle of hospitality. Eventually, they started a small cleaning company — the first business they built together. Years later, they opened their own Brazilian restaurant on the North Shore of Boston. I watched them dream, build, fall, rise, and serve — always with love and purpose.

Entrepreneurship runs deep in my family. I grew up hearing stories about my grandmother, who was a multi-site salon owner in Brazil, and a gifted hairstylist. She was known for transforming hair disasters into something beautiful and unforgettable. Through her work, she impacted so many of the people she met. I live to do the same — whether through skincare or simply getting to know someone’s story.

Before becoming an esthetician, I worked in the family restaurant, in the cleaning industry, in retail, and in customer service — each job teaching me what it means to connect, serve, and build trust with people. Today, I carry that experience into every treatment I offer. Earthen Grace Esthetics was born out of my love for people, my creative roots, and my belief that beauty is more than surface-deep — it’s sacred, personal, and worthy of intention.

Creativity has always been at the heart of who I am—whether I’m exploring the worlds of esthetics, fashion, writing, or art. I find inspiration in beauty, music, and design, and I’m happiest when I’m surrounded by good books, quality coffee, and the tranquility of nature. I love cooking and crafting delicious meals.

I naturally connect with people, and those around me often say they feel understood and safe in my presence. I cherish time spent with my friends, family, and my son, and I can never resist a good thrift shop.

With all that being said, I’m looking forward to meeting you 🤍
