Physical Therapy Fun Facts

During a 24-hour period, you can lose up to 5 billion skin cells (that's nine zeros!) — about 200 million every hour. Your epidermis (the top layer of your skin) is continuously working to replace these lost skin cells with new ones. In fact, 95 percent of the cells in your epidermis work to make these new skin cells. The other 5 percent produce melanin, which gives skin its color.

Another way to help decrease the affects of insomnia...cut out the mid afternoon naps! I know, that sounds crazy but it can help minimize the inability to fall asleep or stay asleep at nighttime if you stop snoozing during the day.

Come see some of our new team members!

We're starting off 2026 by adding some new faces to our incredible team!

I'm SO excited to announce that Grace Fox - Esthetics with Grace - has officially joined our team and will be taking clients immediately!

"My name is Grace, and I am the licensed Esthetician behind Esthetics with Grace. I offer custom esthetics treatments with a heavy focus on Hydrafacials. I am determined to make my clients feel confident, refreshed, and comfortable in their skin.

I graduated from The Aveda Institute of Beauty and Wellness in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and while I never imagined I would be starting my own business, I couldn't be more grateful. Skincare is more than a career to me-1 want to connect with my clients and help them feel the best they can.

I believe that skincare should be results-driven, but also feel relaxing. So I take the time to understand each client's different needs and goals in hopes of giving them the best treatment for their skin. I want you to be able to unwind and leave with beautiful skin!

In my free time, I love getting my nails done, cooking, being with my close friends and family, and going shopping!

I plan on continuing to learn more and always furthering my education and knowledge, and I am so excited to share my space and my passion for skincare with each of you."
