ABOUT US

Hi, I’m Ashley, a Holistic Master Esthetician with over a decade of experience and a love for creating personalized skin rituals that care for your skin while giving you space to truly slow down. My path into esthetics started with my own skin. I struggled with acne and spent years feeling frustrated by it, which eventually led me to discover a completely different way of caring for skin, one that looked beyond simply trying to “fix” what I saw in the mirror. I began my education at the Aveda Institute Houston, where I fell in love with the more holistic side of esthetics: Ayurvedic practices, intentional touch, botanical ingredients, and the belief that caring for the skin can also be an opportunity to care for the whole person. After moving to Virginia, I continued my education at the Dermal Science Academy and became a licensed Master Esthetician. There, I expanded my knowledge of advanced skincare while holding onto the slower, more nurturing approach that had drawn me to esthetics in the first place. Today, my work lives somewhere between skincare and ritual. Rather than following the same facial protocol for everyone, I create each treatment around you and what your skin needs that day. Your ritual may include freshly prepared botanical masks, sculpting facial massage, lymphatic drainage, gua sha, facial cupping, oxygen therapy, LED, or simply more time spent slowing down and allowing your skin and you to rest. The products I work with are chosen with that same intention. I primarily work with Wilder North Botanicals and MeauxCo, two lines that complement my approach to caring for the skin beautifully. Wilder North brings the botanical, apothecary-inspired element I love into the treatment room, while MeauxCo allows me to thoughtfully support the skin with intentional formulas that fit naturally into a holistic, barrier-conscious approach. I love being able to reach for both depending on what your skin is asking for that day rather than expecting one product line or philosophy to work for everyone. I believe you shouldn’t have to choose between caring for your skin and a deeply relaxing treatment. There is room for both. While acne will always hold a special place in my heart, I love caring for skin through every season, from sensitivity, dehydration, pigmentation, and signs of aging to those moments when your skin simply feels a little out of balance. More than anything, I want my treatment room to be a place where you don’t have to rush. A place to settle in, exhale, and let someone else take care of you for a while. You’ll leave feeling rested, cared for, and a little more at home in your skin. Healthy skin you love, cared for slowly and intentionally.
