Hi, I’m Amber—modern holistic aesthetician and founder of Thrive Skin Care. This journey began during a time of deep personal loss, when I had to start over as a stay-at-home mom navigating life on my own. What began as a necessity quickly became something I poured my whole heart into.

Thrive isn’t just a skincare studio. It’s a place where you can slow down, be cared for, and reconnect with yourself—one intentional facial at a time

Why I do this work

My goal is to create more than just results.
I want you to feel safe here. Seen. Supported. Skincare is personal—so every treatment is designed with presence, purpose, and whole-body wellness in mind.

What makes Thrive different

At Thrive, I focus on gentle, high-touch treatments designed to support your nervous system as much as your skin. My approach is rooted in holistic care—not trends or quick fixes. This is a space that honors how you feel, not just how you look. Everything I offer is inspired by nature—grounded, calm, and deeply restorative.

A little more about me

Nature is my reset. I love hiking, quiet days outdoors, and the kind of stillness that lets you breathe a little deeper. That same energy is what I bring into my treatment room—calm, grounding, and open. I believe in “come as you are” care, with no pressure or expectations. However you show up, my goal is you’ll always leave feeling better than when you arrived.

Come as you are. Let’s take care of your skin—and your nervous system—together.
