Meet Your Skincare Specialist
Hello! My name is Latoya Copeland, but I am known to most as Torri. I am proud to be the owner of The Garden of Esti Spa, established in 2025. As a devoted mother of three boys, my life experiences have inspired my passion for helping others—particularly victims and survivors of sex trafficking, children in foster care or soon to be/recently adopted, and single mothers facing homelessness. Each of these causes resonates deeply with my journey.
Having been adopted as a child, I carried my experiences silently, often grappling with the stigma surrounding this topic throughout my upbringing. As a survivor of sex trafficking coupled with having been a single mother for over a decade—during which I faced homelessness and evictions—I know firsthand the challenges that life can present. Yet, despite these hurdles, I have remained steadfast in my determination to create a brighter future for my children and to use my story as a testament to the transformative power of God’s grace!

My educational journey reflects my commitment to personal growth; I have earned an Associate of Arts degree as well a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice. I have also completed one year towards my Master of Arts degree in Public Administration with a focus on Non-Profit Management, and I plan to return to complete this degree when time permits. My career has included various roles in non-profit organizations advocating for sex trafficking survivors and working with children in a variety of settings, including for a short time as a 4th grade teacher.
Above all, my faith in Jesus Christ is the foundation of my life! It is through Him that I find strength, purpose, and the courage to keep moving forward. This belief system is an integral part of my business philosophy. "I openly embrace and incorporate my spiritual faith into my business practices, while ensuring that it remains a personal choice for my clients."
My journey into skincare was born from a realization of the profound impact that self-care has on our mental and emotional well-being. Despite being diagnosed with anxiety, PTSD, and depression, I embrace the fact that those challenges do not define me. I no longer speak them over my life! I am empowered by my faith and healing. It is my mission to combine my love for skincare with my desire to support individuals who have faced similar adversities, helping them rediscover their beauty and rejuvenate their spirits through holistic and spiritual approaches.
I completed the Skincare Specialist/Esthetics Program at the Parisian Spa Institute in Jacksonville, Florida, in September 2024. As a licensed Esthetician, I am here to help you achieve your beauty goals at The Garden of Esti Spa, where we nurture your inner garden, allowing your outer beauty to truly shine!
Regardless of your background or experiences, I warmly welcome you to experience the transformative journey that awaits you at The Garden of Esti Spa!

To my dear cousin, sister, friend...thank you for being one of my biggest supporters, for your unwavering loyalty, and for always believing in me even when I did not believe in myself.
