School of Fashion Design

Celebrating over 90 years of excellence in fashion education, The School of Fashion Design is the only educational institution in New England dedicated exclusively to the study of fashion design. SFD provides students with a solid foundation in apparel design and construction, and the skills required for a successful career in fashion.

Our technical Certificate program is taught by experts in the field of fashion design. Students may take courses toward the Certificate or on a class-by-class basis to fill professional education interests. For creatives and textile arts enthusiasts, SFD offers workshops in various fiber arts such as weaving, lace making, embroidery, millinery, upcycling, and more.

As an SFD student, you will join a diverse community of emerging designers. Our studios are filled with recent high school graduates, students from nearby colleges enriching their education with fashion, and working professionals embarking on a new career path.

SFD faculty and students are active partners in our local community, collaborating regularly with organizations and businesses through internships, exhibitions, field trips, and special events. Our reputation for excellence is on display each time our students show their work at fashion shows and exhibits throughout the year.

With an SFD Certificate in Fashion Design, our alumni have enjoyed fashion careers with Adidas, Coldwater Creek, J. Jill, New Balance, PUMA, Ralph Lauren, Talbots, Timberland, TJX Companies, and more. Our alumni are designers and costumers for stage and screen, while others have found success launching their own label.

Our varied class levels and flexible schedules are designed to meet the needs and profiles of all students. So whatever your level, background, or educational goals, we invite you to schedule a tour to see yourself at The School of Fashion Design. New semesters begin September, January, and June. Your fashion education begins here!

Anointed Hands Massage and Spa Essentials - Newton

Anointed Hands Massage & Spa Essentials – Now Serving Newton!

Now 25% Off Your Initial Visit!

I created Anointed Hands with one mission in mind: to help people heal, restore balance, and feel renewed from the inside out. My journey to this work is deeply personal. After experiencing seasons of loss, transition, and growth, I realized the power of touch, care, and intentional healing. Those experiences became the foundation for the way I serve my clients today—not just as customers, but as whole people with unique stories and needs.

At Anointed Hands, you’ll find more than just a spa menu—you’ll find a space that was designed to meet you exactly where you are. I specialize in therapeutic massage, facials, body contouring, post-operative care, laser hair removal, waxing, and permanent makeup (PMU). Whether you’re looking for deep relaxation, skin renewal, help managing post-surgical recovery, or enhancing your natural beauty through brows and cosmetic services, each treatment is customized with intention.

What sets me apart is the way I blend technical skill with compassion and care. For my post-op and body contouring clients, I don’t just focus on results—I provide education and guidance so you understand your healing process. For those seeking relaxation, I combine proven techniques with a nurturing environment that helps you let go of stress and tension. And for beauty services like PMU, I specialize in creating natural, restorative results that empower confidence—especially for women who’ve experienced hair loss due to medical or personal challenges.

Every service I offer comes from a place of passion and purpose. My goal is not just to help you look better but to help you feel restored, realigned, and renewed. When you leave Anointed Hands, I want you to feel lighter, brighter, and more at peace than when you walked in.

Come discover what makes Anointed Hands different—where beauty, wellness, and healing meet.
