I am Christine
My name is Christine Wauchope, and I have had a remarkable journey in my life. Born and raised in Jamaica, I later moved to the Turks and Caicos Islands where I spent most of my adult life. Growing up in a Seventh-day Adventist household with my loving and hardworking mother, Phyllis Wauchope, I was instilled with values of kindness, care, and wisdom. My mother, who was not only devoted to our family but also an active member of the church, played a significant role in shaping the person I am today.
​
Inspired by my mother’s teachings and example, I have always aspired to become the best version of myself. As the ninth of twelve siblings, I learned early on to be independent, responsible, and industrious. My insatiable thirst for knowledge and my passion for self-improvement fueled my desire to pursue a career that would not only bring me personal fulfillment but also help others develop high self-esteem and happiness.
My Journey
My journey in the beauty and aesthetics industry began as a nail technician. It was during a visit to a nail salon in Jamaica that I was captivated by the dedication and passion of a woman named Kim, who did an exceptional job on my nails. Inspired by her, I asked her to train me in her craft, even though she initially hesitated. Undeterred, I convinced her, and soon enough, I had mastered the art of acrylic nails and opened my own nail spa.
In 2004, fate intervened when Hurricane Charlie struck Jamaica, destroying my nail spa. Taking it as a sign, I decided to pursue an opportunity in the Turks and Caicos Islands, despite the initial challenges I faced upon arrival. With determination and the support of kind-hearted individuals who crossed my path, I persevered through hardships and worked various jobs to make ends meet for myself and my two young children.
My Skincare Journey
Through my personal struggles, I gained a newfound interest in skincare and aesthetics. Dealing with my own battle with acne, I discovered the transformative power of dermatological treatments and decided to learn more about skincare and aesthetics. I enrolled at The Face Place in Kingston, Jamaica, where I received training in aesthetic treatments and eyebrow threading. Returning to the Turks and Caicos Islands, I had the opportunity to put my skills to use as a Spa Therapist, providing a serene and enjoyable experience for my clients.
​
My journey continued as I delved deeper into the world of aesthetics. I trained at the National Laser Institute in Dallas, Texas, becoming certified in Comprehensive Laser treatments, Medical Aesthetics, and Micro-needling. I further expanded my expertise in PRP Hair Restoration and PRP Facial Skin Rejuvenation through training at REVIVE and with a dermatologist in the Dominican Republic. Additionally, I obtained certifications in advanced aesthetics such as Botox, Filler, PDO Thread, Mesotherapy, and Dermaplaning.
​
Throughout my career, I have explored various skincare product lines, searching for the best solutions for my clients. My quest led me to the Rejuvi skincare line, specifically drawn to the benefits of Vitamins K, P, Arnica, and the Q Flavonoid complex in promoting healing and enhancing the skin’s appearance. Impressed by the success stories, I became the sole distributor of Rejuvi products in the Turks and Caicos Islands, driven by my commitment to achieving the best results for my clients.
The Lift Aesthetic Spa TCI
Today, at The Lift Aesthetic Spa, I continue to strive for excellence in providing rejuvenating and relaxing experiences. My journey back to myself has been filled with challenges, growth, and the unwavering support of those who have crossed my path. Inspired by my mother’s legacy, I am dedicated to helping individuals enhance their self-esteem and happiness through the power of beauty and aesthetics.
