Vetta's story.

Training with David Salinger in Australia. After years of seeing so many people, both men and women, experience the trauma of approaching baldness, I knew it was time to address the problem with dramatic boldness. That's why I traveled to Sydney, Australia, in 2003 to study with David Salinger, executive director of the International Association of Trichologists and the world's leading authority on hair loss and scalp disorders. This comprehensive course was developed at the University of Southern California.

My goal has always been to give my clients the finest natural paths to beauty and wellness for both body and spirit. I've listened to their needs and responded by searching the globe for treatments that meet those needs. My clinic, the National Center of Trichology in Jacksonville, Florida, addresses, with the latest technology available, the causes and cures for hair loss - so long a secret concern for so many people. It was a natural progression for me to travel to Australia to study trichology.

Training with Dr. Kingsley in New York City. I also studied in New York with Dr. Kingsley, another international hair loss authority, and assisted in the opening of a skin care and trichology clinic in India called Harmonix. Starting my trichology clinic was the next logical step in a lifetime dedicated to whole-body wellness.

Brazilian born, inspired by her grandmother. I was born in Brazil and spent much of my childhood at the side of my grandmother, Maria, who was widely respected as "the root lady," a woman who knew the value of herbs and natural remedies, delivered babies and dispersed herbal medicines to the local villagers. We would go to the fields and my grandmother would say, "This plant is good for indigestion; that is good for insomnia. This one will make your skin glow, and that one will increase your energy." As a child, I didn't realize the immense knowledge she was imparting, but she awakened a passion in me for discovering natural remedies that heal the body and mind. And that, ultimately, led me into the study of trichology.

I'll be forever grateful to all those individuals throughout my lifetime who have mentored and inspired me.
