I’m originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where I began my professional journey early, serving in the military from my teenage years into my early twenties. That experience shaped my sense of discipline, responsibility, and respect for people.

At 26, I became a licensed cosmetologist, discovering a profession where hair, skin, and human connection come together. What began behind the chair naturally expanded into facial and scalp care, guided by curiosity, continued education, and a desire to care for people in a more intentional and holistic way.

Over time, my path led me to Chicago, Illinois — a city I now call home, where I built my life, my family, and my work.

In 2020, driven by an entrepreneurial spirit and a desire to create something personal, I founded All Things Adriano LLC. What started as a vision has grown into a private studio focused on calm, presence, and thoughtful care.

I’m currently expanding my education through massage therapy training, deepening my understanding of the body, relaxation, and the connection between touch, energy, and well-being. Learning is an ongoing part of how I show up for the people I care for.

A small personal note: outside the studio, I also hold a commercial driver’s license and enjoy long drives — a reminder that focus, patience, and presence matter both on the road and behind the chair.

Chicago is home, and this work continues to be a journey I’m proud of.
