Willow’s ultimate goal is to restore the essence of an individual bringing each client back to optimal health.

Her training is vast and ongoing, studying everything from Advanced Skin Care in New York, Massage Therapy techniques, Herbal Healing, Meditation and Energy work and Nutritional Therapy. Willow’s education is unique from most Estheticians due to her extensive background and application of so many facets of healing. 

As owner of Spa Willamina, and as someone who has worked in the healing arts for over 20 years, Willow has made it her priority to find the best results-oriented, natural products. Willow incorporates a holistic and relaxing component to every treatment she provides.  Her job is to both educate and motivate the staff at Spa Willamina with inspirational training programs and products to optimize each guest’s experience.

As founder of Spa Willamina, my goal is to create a place of healing and renewal for each and every one of my clients. My passion for healthy, balanced living began as a child growing up on a farm on the Oregon coast. Everything we used came from the earth — the food that we grew, the sheep that we raised for wool, the wild herbs that we gathered for tea. When I began studying naturopathy and aromatherapy 18 years ago, I discovered that I had a gift for using elements found within nature to heal, relax, and restore. My dream has always been to share that gift with others — and with the creation of Spa Willamina, my vision has been realized. I truly hope that you enjoy your experience with us, and that it enriches your life as much as it has enriched mine.

Cheers,
Willow
