Ava Martin, Medical Esthetician

Hey! I'm Ava. I like to create a comfortable environment where people can be themselves and have a good time while also relaxing. I enjoy my time with guests who love conversation and those who prefer a quiet, relaxing appointment. My favorite services to offer are VI Chemical Peels, microneedling, and Hydrafacials.

When I'm not in the spa, I can be found taking walks with my husband and our two puppies or playing pickleball!

Michele Zahumensky, BSN, RN, Injector

I am all about tailoring each service to your unique needs. I provide Botox, filler, and peels, and I focus on being the best in those areas! In my free time I enjoy spending time with my kids, and grandkids. I am also a hospice RN director. My focus is educating all clients on good skincare, prevention for the younger generation, and going on the journey of repairing and aging backward for those of us who did not have the tools we needed back then!
