Our Team
Tessa Nickerson
Co-owner, Holistic Esthetician
Growing up in Albuquerque, New Mexico, I have formed a deep love and connection to the natural world and how it plays a part in our day-to-day lives.
I finished my degree in Communications and Psychology at the University of New Mexico in 2017, and found the world of holistic healing and aesthetics shortly after. This was the path I had been searching for. My love for natural healing and skin care continues to grow through every client I work with.
I attended the Aveda Institute of New Mexico where I received my esthetician license in 2020 and have developed a deep passion for luxurious, result-driven treatments that blend Ayurvedic principles with modern skincare techniques. My expertise in facial massage techniques, helps to release tension, TMJ, trauma, and recommend as a natural and non-invasive Botox alternative.
I believe in working with plant-based products on your skin and developing a well-rounded, balanced lifestyle to give you your truest, brightest glow.
Shelly West
Co-owner, Holistic Esthetician
I was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where I attended the Aveda Institute of New Mexico. I have been a licensed esthetician since 2018, but my journey in the beauty industry started in 2016 as an aspiring makeup artist. After attending Aveda, I fell in love with skincare and decided to change my goals to helping others on their journey to healthy skin.
Now, I specialize in holistic skincare and facial massage for those in the high desert climate. I am continuing to learn from eastern medicine practices such as TCM and Ayurveda to bring a truly holistic and healing experience. I believe in the power of the body and it’s ability to heal itself, while using natural and plant powered products to aid in the healing process.
I also specialize in eyebrow shaping. I have over 7 years of experience in shaping eyebrows either with makeup or wax. I love natural eyebrows that fit perfectly with your unique style.
I believe in slow beauty, and that aging is a gift. I welcome those of all skin journeys, where we can talk and work together toward healthy skin.
