  • Founder | Aesthetician | Laser Practitioner

    Facials are my passion and I take a very detailed approach, while still allowing for plenty of massage and relaxation. My goal is to work with clients to find a regimen that is not only effective, but also becomes part of their self-care routine that they are excited about and love.

    For 13 years I’ve worked in the healthcare field and throughout my career I realized I wanted to help people on a more personal level. Since entering the world of aesthetics in 2014, I have learned that there’s so much more to skincare than just what’s on the surface – it’s about creating an experience that stays with people well beyond the treatment room.


  • Aesthetician | Laser Practitioner

    Morgan is our lead aesthetician and advanced acne expert with over five years of experience in results-driven skincare. Her journey into aesthetics was deeply personal—after navigating her own struggles with acne and perioral dermatitis, she developed a true understanding of the emotional and mental impact skin conditions can have. That experience ignited her passion for helping others heal their skin and regain confidence.

    Morgan is certified in SkinPen® Microneedling, Hydrafacial®, Laser Hair Removal, and is a Face Reality Level 2 Acne Expert. She specializes in laser treatments, microneedling, chemical peels, Hydrafacial, and advanced corrective facials, with a strong focus on acne management and skin health.

    Committed to ongoing education, Morgan stays current on the latest skincare technologies, ingredients, and techniques to provide highly personalized, effective treatments. Her clients benefit not only from her extensive knowledge, but also from her genuine care, attention to detail, and passion for helping each person feel confident in their skin.

    Outside of the treatment room, you’ll most likely find Morgan at home with her three cats, two chickens, and a whole lot of fish.
