⚠️ Notice: Snow Storm Elsa – Monday, March 16 ⚠️

Due to the expected snowstorm on Monday, many businesses at The Refinery will be closing for the day. All providers are independently owned and may choose to stay open or close.

With 60 mph winds and an additional foot of snow on top of what we already have, we cannot guarantee cleared parking lots or sidewalks, and no receptionist will be on duty.

Many of us have clients traveling from long distances, children at home, or safety concerns on the roads, and we want everyone—clients and providers alike—to stay safe. Please reach out directly to your provider for updates or to reschedule your appointment.

Thank you for your understanding and patience during this weather event. Your safety is our top priority.

I have a good problem for me… and a not-so-great problem for my evening clients.

My appointments after 5pm are officially booked through the end of the year. I’m incredibly grateful for the continued support and trust you place in me — truly, thank you. 💛

Because of this demand, I’ll be opening a waitlist for Saturday afternoon appointments (one Saturday per month) to help accommodate those who need later times.

If you’d like to be added to the Saturday waitlist, Makayla at the front desk will personally reach out when those spots open.

To join the list:
• Comment below
• Send us a message
• Or call 920-827-2555

If evenings are the only time that works for you, this is also a great opportunity to experience services with our other two talented estheticians, who do have evening availability. You can view their services and book directly through the booking link on our website.

And of course, if your schedule allows, I do still have daytime appointments available, and I’d love to see you then.

Thank you again for keeping my schedule so full — I’m incredibly grateful for this community. ✨

Everything in the body communicates through frequency — nerves, cells, tissues.

When someone lives in constant urgency, their system vibrates differently than someone who feels safe and supported. Skin reflects that state. Dullness, tension, and reactivity are often signs of internal noise.

Vibrational work — whether through Reiki, sound, or intentional touch — helps bring the system back into coherence. When the signal clears, the body knows what to do.

If you’ve ever felt like your skin improves briefly and then backslides…
If treatments feel aggressive instead of restorative…
If you’re doing “all the right things” but still feel inflamed, tired, or reactive…

That’s not a failure on your part.

It usually means your skin has been treated in isolation instead of as part of a whole system. When we slow down, support repair, and work with the body instead of overriding it, results last longer — and feel different.

Calmer.
Clearer.
More resilient.

That’s the work I do.

The body cannot repair itself while it’s bracing.

This matters more than most people realize. If your nervous system is constantly anticipating the next demand, your skin prioritizes survival over regeneration.
This is why rest is woven into my sessions. Not as an indulgence, but as a prerequisite for real change.

So dang excited for a lil’ packaging rebrand!!!!
All handmade Refinery Bodycare products are getting a facelift before hitting the shelves 😃

AND

I was finally able to source a new vendor for ingredients which means the long wait for Mystic Body Oil will be over soon!!!

So many exclamation points because I just can’t contain the joy today. There’s good everywhere if ya just look for it and if you can’t find it then get out there and create it!

Not all “natural” ingredients behave the same way on skin.

Stone crop is one I return to often because it hydrates, brightens, and strengthens without overwhelming the skin’s natural rhythm. It helps skin do what it’s meant to do — not what trends demand of it.

When clients say their skin feels calmer after a facial, this is part of why.

Calm skin functions better.

One of the things clients tell me after their first session is,
“I didn’t realize how guarded my body was.”

That’s important.

Because guarded systems don’t heal efficiently. They hold tension in the jaw, shoulders, hips — and yes, in the face. When we work gently and intentionally, the body doesn’t brace. It responds.

Skin softens. Color improves. Breath deepens.
Results don’t feel forced — they feel earned.

That’s the difference between aggressive correction and supportive care.
