Holding Space for Skin + Self

Hi, I’m Melissa!

I’m a mom of four, military spouse and certified holistic practitioner & licensed esthetician who believes skincare should feel just as nourishing for the soul as it is for the skin.

After spending over 12 years behind the camera helping people see their beauty, I felt called to a different kind of care—one that supports both skin health and overall well-being. That journey led me to holistic esthetics, where I can combine my love for skincare, wellness and meaningful connection.

At Skin + Soma Esthetics, I believe facials are more than just skincare treatments. They're an opportunity to slow down, take a break from the demands of everyday life and reconnect with yourself. My approach focuses on supporting your skin naturally while creating a calming, restorative experience that leaves you feeling refreshed, balanced, and glowing.

To me, facials are more than treatments—they’re moments of stillness, healing and renewal, where skin and spirit are nurtured together.

Whether you're looking for help with your skin, a moment of relaxation, or a little bit of both, I'm here to provide a space where you can unwind, feel cared for, and simply be.
