However, to keep things interesting and her family on their toes, Sheehan continues to freelance in the often captivating production world.

Sheehan met Megan Linney while working in the 90’s fashion movement of San Francisco. They became instant friends and have enjoyed many years of laughter, love and travel. Even after all these years, she looks forward to the annual meet-ups, swag bags and detailed “agenda” that has become an accessory to the life-long friendship.

Allie Fung

Allie Fung has a diverse career background starting in retail before pursuing a career in clothing manufacturing and then as an executive assistant. Since 2000, she has been a legal recruiter for an international law firm, hiring and mentoring attorneys. Her favorite job, though, was as a holiday basket maker for Neiman Marcus where she indulged in free chocolate and caviar samples every day.

It was during her time as an executive assistant that she met Megan Linney and thus began a long friendship steeped in laughter, skin care and caviar! Megan taught Allie the importance of healthy skin maintenance, introducing innovative treatments and tools, and Allie owes Megan a debt of gratitude that she’s still carded on occasion when buying alcohol.

In her free time, Allie enjoys napping, lying on the couch, and watching true crime and comedy specials. She spends an inordinate amount of time with her parents, and niece and nephew. When she’s not jetting setting to exotic locales like Tustin, CA and Maplewood, NJ, Allie lives in Oakland, CA with her long-time artist partner and his cacti and rock collections.

Megan Linney

Megan Linney is a life long professional in the beauty and wellness industry. As a licensed Esthetician and Massage Therapist, she has been a member of several esteemed spa teams. She has worked in many different capacities of the industry, from performing and developing spa services to building internationally recognized spas. Traveling around the world and working on both coasts have exposed her to many different cultures and beauty rituals. Through this journey, she learned first hand how powerful transformation is when touch, education, and self-care merge in one’s life resulting in confidence, self-acceptance and living your best life.

As her career grew so did the opportunities to travel and relocate around the country. Landing in Las Vegas in 2017, for a second time, she began to feel like she had found more of a home than another temporary post. She quickly learned how much the local community craved a great skin care option that was not priced exclusively for those on vacation. She set out to deliver something needed to the Las Vegas Locals and be part of the creative flow of DTLV. Aside from juggling a full workload, hanging with her pup, David Bowie Jr. she also lives part-time in her vintage van down by a river- or any waterway really.
