Gwen, Owner and Make-Up Artist
I bought this spa because I'm a woman with a mission and a philosophy that I really want to test! My philosophy is based on the law of attraction and the belief that there really is no competition out there in the "business world" ... I believe that when I am perfectly clear about what I want to offer, the right people will walk through the door. I'm clear that I want to offer a place where people can connect in a meaningful way. And they get to do this because they're interested in taking good care of themselves. You see, people who take care of themselves all flock through the doors and meet others who share the same values!! I'm a parent of 2 fabulous people (11 and 14, funny as heck and a joy to be around). I'm a trained life coach, author and portrait artist and I've trained a lot of people in the ares of nutrition and fitness. I am fascinated by people's stories and am ever asking questions. One of my favorite pass times is giving people compliments and I refuse to do it unless I really mean it. My highest value is freedom followed by authenticity. The things I treasure most are my friendships with both family and friends. I am constantly in awe of this life. Come share your story with us!
Kim, Esthetician and Massage Therapist
About me: well lets see what can we say...I am pretty fired up about being
outside doing activities of all kinds...especially ones that involve
risk and high levels of pain. Traveling to non-touristy places is stimulating.
I spend many hours a week training to race bikes, triathlons, aad races
etc...rock climbing and mountaineering are high on the list as well.
I thrive on being inspired on a daily basis...meeting interesting people
living outside of the American cereal box is enjoyable. I insist on surrounding
myself with people who understand my style of humor...very vulgar toilet
humor...ya know where you laugh so hard you can't talk and you go home
with your sides hurting...I don't usually have a hard time coming across
these folks I seem to attract them...I frequent stores with good fluorescent
lighting...if you know me already you know why...if not we would need
to hang out a bit before I go that deep. Figuring out folk's signs is
fun...I am pretty right on a lot of the time. I find I usually end up
hangin' out with Leos, Virgos, Caps, Scorps, and Sags. I have lived at
the ocean for a lot of my life and always travelled to the mountains...
I have moved to las mountains and don't really need to go back...visiting
the ocean will work...please write me if you have something to say or if
you wanna do some cool adventures. Also must have high quality coffee and
I LOVE candy and ice cream....

Kristina, Esthetician
It's my firm belief that real beauty comes from inside. Healthy beautiful skin that has that certain something... it is that radiant glow that counts the most. It's been my dream for a very long time to be educated in this area. What I know now is very valuable to me. It is important for me to give first, then take and get the pleasure from that. I am originally from Russia and grew up in a creative environment. Love to create! In all my creations I draw upon my past for inspiration. I paint landscapes and trees with bold vivid colors -- contrast with an abstract perspective. I do enjoy learning about herbs. Like to hike in the mountains. Travel around. I am very active and am often doing a couple of things at the same time, very busy! I have a son who is almost 6 and he is teaching me how to enjoy LIFE the "very funny way". I am learning how to slow down a little and savor the precious moments of life; simple things such as meeting people that are on the same page with you, the smell of spring tulips, tea with honey and dark chocolate. Having Lots of friends with great senses of humor -- always the best. I am very thankful for everything that has happened to me.
