Alexsandra Esthetics

October is officially here, and so is the perfect season to come back to your skin. 🍂

Summer can leave behind more than memories—dehydration, congestion, uneven tone, sun damage, and changes in texture often begin showing themselves as we move into cooler weather. And as the Maine air becomes colder and drier, your skin needs a little different kind of care.

This is one of my favorite times of year in the treatment room because we can begin shifting our focus from summer maintenance into repair, replenishment + correction.

Whether you’re ready to restart your regular facials, work toward a specific skin goal, or simply need an hour to slow down and be cared for, I have opened up a few more appointments throughout October.

No need to wait until your skin is struggling. Let’s get it supported now so it can move beautifully into the colder months ahead. 🤎
Updated October availability is now open.

Skin changes with the seasons. Your care should, too.

Why is SWiCH™ one of my most-requested age-management treatments? 🤎

Because aging skin doesn’t always need to be peeled, stripped, or aggressively resurfaced to create change.

Circadia’s SWiCH™ Dermal Rejuvenation System takes a different approach. Rather than relying on controlled injury like a traditional chemical peel, SWiCH is designed to support the skin’s natural rejuvenation process and cellular energy.

The goal? Skin that looks firmer, smoother, brighter, more hydrated and refreshed—while supporting the appearance of healthy collagen and elastin.

I especially love SWiCH for concerns like:
✨ Fine lines + visible signs of aging
✨ Dull, tired-looking skin
✨ Uneven tone + pigmentation
✨ Rough texture
✨ Loss of firmness
✨ Dehydrated, lackluster skin

And one of the best parts? No traditional peeling or significant downtime.

SWiCH can be beautiful as a single treatment, but where I really love it is in a series, allowing us to progressively work with the skin over time.

After years of working with skin, I’ve learned that stronger isn't always better. Sometimes mature skin needs less aggression and more intelligent support.

That philosophy is exactly why SWiCH has earned such a permanent place in my treatment room.

Modern skin science. Holistic care. Healthy aging. 🤎

October is the perfect time to come back to your skin. 🍂

After months of sun, heat, humidity, sunscreen, and summer schedules, fall gives us a beautiful little window to reset. As the air becomes cooler and drier, your skin’s needs begin to shift too—making this the ideal season to reassess your routine, replenish hydration, address summer sun damage and uneven tone, and begin working toward those longer-term skin goals again.

It’s also the season when we can start bringing some of our more corrective treatments back into the conversation as sun exposure decreases.

Whether it’s been a few weeks or a few months since your last facial, you don’t have to “start over.” We simply meet your skin exactly where it is now and build from there.

My October availability is officially open at Alexsandra Esthetics inside Ember & Stone Wellness Spa. Come settle in, exhale, and let’s get your skin—and maybe your soul—a little more cared for this season. 🤎

A new kind of creative space may be coming to Ember & Stone. 🌿

We’re opening our doors to the possibility of welcoming an independent tattoo artist into our Springvale space.

We would love to find an artist whose work feels naturally aligned with Ember & Stone — fine-line, botanical, nature-inspired, ornamental, illustrative, feminine, meaningful custom work… the kind of tattoos that tell a story and become a part of you.

This would be a private studio space within Ember & Stone, allowing you to run your own independent business while being surrounded by an established community centered around beauty, wellness, self-care and connection.

We’re looking for someone professional, reliable, appropriately licensed, and most importantly, someone who wants to create an experience where their clients feel comfortable, welcomed and cared for.

If you’re a tattoo artist looking for a space of your own — or you know someone who would be the perfect fit — please share this with them. 🤎

Send us a message for rental details or to come see the space.

Your treatment was never meant to be just about your skin.

It’s about the moment your shoulders finally drop.

The breath you didn’t realize you were holding.
The quiet your mind has been craving.
The feeling of being cared for without needing to do anything in return.

We believe beautiful skin and true wellbeing are deeply connected. That’s why our treatments are created to nurture more than what you see in the mirror—supporting the skin while giving the body and nervous system space to soften, rest, and restore.

Because sometimes the most beautiful result isn’t simply glowing skin.

It’s walking out feeling a little lighter, a little calmer, and a little more like yourself again.

Come for your skin. Leave with something your soul needed, too.

Ember & Stone Wellness Spa
A place to soften. A place to restore.

The Autumn Alchemy Ritual
An autumn ceremony for skin, body & spirit.

Available October + November | 90 Minutes | $245

There is something about autumn that asks us to slow down.

The air becomes cooler. The days grow softer. Nature begins to turn inward—and our skin begins asking for something different, too.

The Autumn Alchemy Ritual is a limited seasonal facial experience inspired by the warmth, stillness, and earthy beauty of autumn in Maine.

Created to restore skin after the heat, sun, and activity of summer while preparing it for the cooler, drier months ahead, this 90-minute ritual brings together advanced skincare, botanical nourishment, intentional touch, warmth, and deep relaxation.

It is where skin treatment becomes ceremony.

Your ritual begins...

Your experience opens with grounding aromatics and warm herbal compresses, inviting both the skin and nervous system to begin settling before a thoughtful double cleanse prepares the complexion for treatment.

A honey + botanical enzyme resurfacing treatment gently lifts away dull, weathered surface cells and seasonal buildup, revealing softer, brighter skin beneath without taking away what the skin needs most as temperatures begin to fall.

Customized extractions are performed as needed before moving into one of the heartbeats of the ritual: intuitive lymphatic facial massage and facial cupping.

Slow, rhythmic movements encourage healthy circulation and lymphatic flow while helping soften facial tension, reduce the appearance of stagnation and puffiness, and restore a naturally vibrant complexion.

A deeply nourishing, antioxidant-rich seasonal mask is then chosen to replenish the skin, support its protective barrier, and cocoon the complexion in restorative hydration.

And while your skin rests, the ritual continues.

Warm stones and nourishing oils are used throughout a slow hand + arm massage, bringing warmth back into the body and allowing you to sink a little deeper into stillness.

LED light therapy is thoughtfully incorporated to support the skin's natural restorative processes before an extended face, neck, décolleté + scalp ritual releases lingering tension and brings the treatment full circle.

Your skin is then layered with seasonally selected serums, nourishing lip care, and rich barrier-supporting hydration chosen specifically for what your complexion needs that day.

The experience closes with a grounding mist of Ember & Stone Sanctuary—a quiet final moment before returning to the world outside.

And the ritual doesn't end when you leave.

Each Autumn Alchemy Ritual includes a special take-home ritual gift from Alexsandra Esthetics, thoughtfully created to allow you to carry a little piece of the experience home with you.

Because restoration shouldn't have to end at the treatment-room door.

Leave with skin that feels softer, replenished, luminous, and deeply nourished—and with your entire being feeling just a little quieter than when you arrived.

Your Autumn Alchemy may include:

Honey + botanical enzyme resurfacing • Warm herbal compresses • Customized extractions as needed • Intuitive lymphatic facial massage • Facial cupping • Restorative seasonal mask • LED light therapy • Warm stone hand + arm massage • Neck + décolleté ritual • Scalp massage • Nourishing lip treatment • Customized finishing skincare • Ember & Stone Sanctuary grounding ritual • Take-home seasonal ritual gift

Especially beautiful for:

Dry + dehydrated skin • Dullness • Post-summer skin • Sun-stressed complexion • Uneven texture • Fine lines • Seasonal dryness • Compromised skin barrier • Puffiness + stagnation • Facial tension • Seasonal skin transitions • Stress + fatigue • Anyone simply needing permission to slow down

90 Minutes | $245
Available exclusively October + November

Like autumn itself, this ritual is here only for a little while.

September feels like the beginning of a little shift at Alexsandra Esthetics. 🍂🌿

And as of today, my new studio hours have officially taken effect!
I’ve been making some intentional changes behind the scenes—not only to create a schedule that gives me a little more balance, but also to continue evolving Alexsandra Esthetics into the kind of space and experience I truly want it to be.

Along with my new hours, I’ve been quietly refining my service menu to better reflect the way I approach skincare today: more intuitive, holistic, intentional, and completely centered around what your skin needs in that moment. (I am still accepting new clients, the new client service was removed but you are allowed to book any service with the add on of a complementary consultation).

You may notice some of your familiar treatments now have new names, updated descriptions, or a few changes to the services themselves. The heart of what you love is still there—they simply feel much more aligned with where Alexsandra Esthetics is headed.

So even if you’ve been coming to me for years, I encourage you to take a little wander through the online booking site before scheduling your next visit. Read through the updated treatments, discover what’s new, and see what speaks to your skin and wellbeing.

And if you have absolutely no idea what to choose? That’s okay too. 🤎 I’m always happy to help guide you.

September is also such an important transition month for our skin. After months of summer sun, heat, humidity, sunscreen and outdoor adventures, this is the season to begin replenishing hydration, supporting the skin barrier, addressing pigmentation and sun damage, and preparing the skin for cooler, drier weather.

My updated September availability is posted above, with morning, afternoon and a few later appointments available.

New hours. Refined treatments. The same cozy little place to come exhale, take care of your skin, and have a moment that’s entirely yours. 🌿

I can’t wait for you to see what’s changing at Alexsandra Esthetics this fall. 🤎
