Our story

The Little Spathat could

The Little Spa started with a dream, a tiny room in my parents’ basement, and a whole lot of determination.

In 2008, while studying Esthetics in Niagara, my family offered me their basement so I could start seeing clients. Friends and family became my first models, trusting me while I practiced, learned, and figured out what kind of business I wanted to build.

A couple of years later, I took a leap and opened my first little spa on Derby Road. I was terrified. I remember thinking, “What if I fail?”

Someone gave me advice I’ve never forgotten:

“Worst case? You go back to working from home, with your tail between your legs.”

So… I said yes.

Over the years, The Little Spa grew, moved to Loomis, then Ridgeway, survived COVID, and eventually found its forever home. Along the way, life handed me challenges I never could have planned for, including becoming a single mom after the unexpected loss of my son’s father.

But The Little Spa never stopped growing.

Today, after 18 years in the beauty industry, I specialize in creating natural, confidence-boosting results—from brows and body sugaring to permanent makeup and tiny tattoos.

I’m a little obsessed with doing things well. I believe every client deserves to leave feeling more like themselves than when they walked in.

Brain Health & Wellness

Lived experience is the best experience

I’m not a therapist, I’m a human who’s lived through some shit, just like you.

And because I don’t have the ability to hide it, my community has seen the rollercoaster ride in real time, and the support I’ve received has taught me not to give up when times get tough.

In this room, people laugh, vent, celebrate wins, share hard days and on occasion we cry. Tissues are on standby. Zero pressure to wear a mask, everyone deserves to feel safe, and accepted as they are.

Looking good builds confidence. Feeling comfortable enough to be a whole human is where the real magic happens.

Movement, connection & community

Running became a big part of my own mental wellness. It quiets my brain, builds confidence, and reminds me I can do hard things (like a hill, or January).

What started as a personal thing turned into a little community. Run, walk, grab a coffee, or just show up and talk — all welcome. It was never about being fastest. It’s about moving together and feeling less alone.
