Hi, I’m Marina—licensed medical aesthetician with a clinical background in dental hygiene, and the face behind Tru U Esthetix.
I help women feel confident in their skin with results-driven, holistic skincare that actually makes sense—no overwhelm, no guesswork, and no one-size-fits-all treatments.
Located in Franklin, TN, I specialize in results-driven skincare treatments for clients throughout the Nashville area.
Before becoming a medical aesthetician, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene and spent nearly 30 years in the field. During that time, I developed a strong clinical foundation and an in-depth understanding of head and neck anatomy, skin health, and patient care.
During COVID, I felt pulled toward something more aligned with my passion for skincare, self-care, and helping women feel their best. So I went back to school, took a leap, and built Tru U Esthetix from the ground up.
Now, I combine my clinical background with advanced skincare treatments to deliver real, visible results—while always prioritizing skin health.

At Tru U Esthetix, you’re not just another appointment—you’re getting a completely personalized experience every time you walk in.
With my background in dental hygiene and advanced knowledge of head and neck anatomy, I take a more detailed, results-driven approach to every treatment.
I specialize in corrective skincare while still respecting the skin barrier and long-term skin health. My approach is heavily influenced by Korean skincare philosophies, focusing on healing, hydration, and consistency rather than aggressive, quick-fix treatments.
You’ll never feel rushed, pushed into unnecessary services, or left confused about your skin. I take the time to educate you so you understand exactly what your skin needs—and why.
I believe skincare should feel empowering, not overwhelming.
Healthy, glowing skin doesn’t come from doing more—it comes from doing the right things consistently.
My goal is to simplify your routine, support your skin, and help you achieve results that actually last.

I’m a wife and a mom of two, and life outside the treatment room keeps me just as busy.
I also believe skincare doesn’t have to be so serious all the time—you’ll find a mix of education, results, and a little humor here (because let’s be honest… we’ve all made questionable skincare decisions at some point 😅).
