Hi, I’m the founder of Spa of Cottonwood. My husband and I have called the Verde Valley home for over five years now, and in that time, this community has become our chosen family—people we can trust, lean on, and dream alongside. When we first traveled around Arizona searching for a place to plant roots and build a business, Cottonwood called out to us. It felt like home before we even unpacked a single box.
My path to aesthetics began in an unexpected way. I originally pursued a degree in psychology, drawn to the idea of helping others heal. But the traditional medical model never aligned with my heart. I knew I didn’t want to be an earpiece for stress, trauma, and frustration only to offer medication that dulled rather than nurtured. I longed for a way to help people feel lighter, clearer, and genuinely cared for.
Aesthetics became that answer.
From my very first steps into the treatment room, I realized the spa environment had a unique magic—one where stress melts, tension softens, and the outside world falls away for a moment of pure loveliness. Through the tranquility and simplicity of skincare, bodywork, and spa rituals, I found a way to offer people something deeper: a space to exhale, reset, and reconnect with themselves.
From the beginning, my vision for Spa of Cottonwood has been rooted in presence, sincerity, and undivided care. I believe that when someone is held in a space free of judgment, pressure, or expectation, true healing begins—whatever that may look like for them. For 14+ years, I have witnessed the profound levels of joy, release, and transformation that spa work can offer. It is an honor I don’t take lightly.
Outside the spa, I’ve recently stepped into the beautiful and sacred role of motherhood. It has given me more blessings than I could ever quantify. When I’m not in session, you’ll find me soaking up every moment with my family—either recharging in nature or snuggled up for a much-needed movie marathon.
Creating Spa of Cottonwood has been one of the most rewarding chapters of my life. Every treatment—whether it’s a facial, hair removal, or any form of beauty and self-care—is performed with intention, presence, and the highest quality products I can source. My mission has always been simple: to offer an experience that feels nourishing, grounding, and wholeheartedly human.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of your wellness journey. I’m honored to care for you.
