SPA EXPERIENCE
welcome to
Ashley and her team at Spa Experience are dedicated to taking care of their guests’ mind, body, and soul. They do this through exceptional spa treatments, providing a calm and nurturing environment and teaching guests the importance of well-being through beauty.
OWNER | Esthetician
Ashley has been a trusted Esthetician in the Durham Region since 2007. In the fall of 2020, she followed a long-held dream and opened Spa Experience -a leap of faith taken during the height of the pandemic. Turning her dream into reality, her vision was clear: to create a peaceful, welcoming space where cleints could slow down, recharge, and truly prioritize their well-being. Every detail of the spa reflects her belief that self-care should feel both restorative and rewarding; physically, mentally, and emotionally. When she’s not at the spa, you’ll likely find Ashley grabbing a Timmies coffee to start her day, soaking up the outdoors, and spending time with her daughter, their two cats Oscar and Gina.
JESS
Esthetician | Team Lead
Jess graduated from Beauty Institute Canada in 2015 with a diploma in Medical Esthetics, and has been dedicated to skin health and wellness ever since. She joined Spa Experience at it’s launch, alongside Ashley, after years of working side by side and forming a close friendship at a previous spa. With over a decade of experience working with renowned skincare lines like G.M Collin and Yonka, Jess has developed a deep appreciation for results-driven treatments and high quality products. She truly excels in relaxation focused services, creating calming, restorative experiences that allow her clients to fully unwind and recharge. Jess is especially passionate about our Ayurvedic Head Massage and unique ASMR experience – both of which reflect her natural ability to bring a sense of peace, comfort, and deep relaxation to every treatment she provides. Outside the spa, Jess enjoys morning iced coffees, cottage weekends, and cozy moments with her beloved fur babies, Sita and Ralphie.
STEPHANIE

With over 15 years in esthetics and the beauty industry, Stephanie is deeply passionate about enhancing outer beauty while nurturing inner well-being. Her early experience with natural skincare lines sparked a lasting love for holistic wellness and inspired her to explore the connection between healthy skin, self-care and emotional balance. A lifelong learner, Stephanie is committed to continuous growth – always expanding her skills and knowledge to better support her clients, both inside and out. In November 2024, she became a Certified Breathwork Facilitator after experiencing a transformative personal experience, and now helps others reconnect with themselves through this healing practice. Outside the spa, you’ll find Stephanie practicing yoga, staying active, spending time with loved ones and snuggling her two cats, Claire and Winnie.
