Hi everyone! I thought I’d do a little re-introduction since it’s been a while 🤍
I’m Marika, and I’ve been operating Soma Wellness Studio here in Ancaster for nearly 6 years now, which still sounds crazy to say! I’m so grateful every single day that I get to do what I love and help people feel confident in their skin.
I’ve been passionate about skincare and healthcare for as long as I can remember. As a kid my favourite thing to do was look through anatomy textbooks while my parents picked eggs and worked on our family farm. I also struggled deeply with my skin as a teenager. I dealt with severe acne, and I know firsthand how much your skin can affect your confidence. I remember days where I would actually stay home from school because my skin was in so much pain that I couldn’t go outside in the winter.
Those experiences created a yearning for me to understand how our internal health affects our skin, and made me want to help others feel comfortable and beautiful in their own skin.
Before Soma was my passion, I was practicing as a Registered Massage Therapist in a multidisciplinary clinic. My specialty was in chronic musculoskeletal injuries and motor vehicle accidents. I learned so much about anatomy, healing, rehabilitation, and client care…all of which still influence how I work today.
Since finding my passion in skincare, I’ve been constantly inspired by the work of celebrity facialists and dermatologists all over the world. Rather than using a strict facial routine, I love combining multiple modalities and customizing each treatment so no two are ever exactly the same.
This is the way I operate my Microneedling treatments as well. I love blending different stem cells, growth factors, exosomes, and pharmaceuticals to create results that are truly tailored to each client’s skin.
I’m currently studying to become a Nurse and am so excited to broaden my scope over the next year with more incredible treatments for my clients. I’m truly so thankful for every person who has stepped through my doors, referred friends, liked or shared posts on social media and I can’t wait to see where 2026 takes us.🩷
