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. 🤎

🌿 COMING SOON | Reflexology Foot Zoning
Our feet carry us through every season of life—and in reflexology, they are viewed as a map of the body.

I’m so excited to soon be bringing Reflexology Foot Zoning to Alexsandra Esthetics, adding another layer to the intuitive, whole-body approach I love incorporating into my work.

So, what exactly is Foot Zoning?

Foot zoning is a holistic practice based on the concept that specific areas of the feet correspond with different areas and systems throughout the body. During a session, intentional pressure and massage techniques are applied to these reflex points, creating a deeply relaxing experience while encouraging the body's natural processes and overall sense of balance.

Unlike a traditional foot massage, the focus isn't simply on tired or sore feet. The feet become the pathway for a more intentional, whole-body wellness experience.

🌿 Who may enjoy Foot Zoning?

It can be a beautiful addition to a wellness routine for someone experiencing everyday stress, feeling mentally or physically depleted, having difficulty truly slowing down, or simply wanting to feel more grounded and connected to their body.

Many people seek reflexology to support:
• Deep relaxation + nervous system downshifting
• Stress and tension relief
• A greater sense of balance and grounding
• Rest and overall well-being
• Mind-body connection
• A quiet moment to simply receive

One of the things I love most about this practice is its simplicity. There are no machines, no complicated tools—just intentional touch, quiet, warmth and an opportunity for the body to settle.

And sometimes, giving the body permission to become still is one of the most restorative things we can do. 🤎

Coming soon to Alexsandra Esthetics.
More details, session options + booking information will be shared soon.

Reflexology is a complementary wellness practice intended to support relaxation and well-being and is not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment.

I am so excited to officially begin creating the Ember & Stone Apothecary — a thoughtfully crafted collection made to bring a little piece of the spa into your everyday rituals.

The Apothecary will continue to grow with offerings for body, face + well-being, inspired by the same holistic approach we bring into the treatment room. My vision is to create products that feel intentional and uncomplicated — something you can reach for when your skin needs nurturing, your body needs care, or your space simply needs a reset.

Whenever possible, ingredients will be locally sourced and thoughtfully selected, with each product handcrafted by me in small batches right here in Maine. 🤎

And our first little introduction...

Sanctuary Cleanse

A smokeless ritual mist created to refresh your space, ground your energy, and bring a sense of calm back into the room and within yourself.

This is only the beginning. I have so many ideas tucked away for the Apothecary, and I cannot wait to slowly bring them to life.

Made locally. Made intentionally. Made with care.
Welcome to the Ember & Stone Apothecary. 🌿

🌿 THE SKIN ISN’T SEPARATE FROM THE BODY.

One of the biggest shifts in the way I approach esthetics has been learning to look beyond the surface.

Sometimes a breakout is simply a clogged pore. Sometimes irritation is a damaged skin barrier. Sometimes pigmentation is the result of sun exposure.

But other times, patterns in the skin can be influenced by what is happening throughout the body and in our everyday lives.

Hormonal fluctuations can influence oil production and breakouts.
Stress can affect inflammation and aggravate certain skin conditions.
Sleep is important for normal barrier recovery and repair.
Nutrition provides the building blocks our skin needs to function normally.
Gut health has an interesting relationship with inflammation and the skin that research continues to explore.
And our environment—UV exposure, weather, pollution and climate—can directly affect the skin barrier.

This is why I don't believe every skin concern needs another aggressive peel, stronger active or complicated 12-step routine.

Sometimes we need to ask:

When did this begin?
What changed around that time?
Is the barrier healthy?
Are we over-treating the skin?
Is there a pattern to the flare-ups?
What is happening outside of the treatment room?

That doesn't mean an esthetician diagnoses hormones, gut conditions or other medical concerns—we don't. When something falls outside our scope, the right healthcare professional belongs in that conversation.

But we can look at the whole picture.

My approach to holistic esthetics is about combining thoughtful skin science with intentional care—supporting the barrier, choosing treatments based on what your skin actually needs, and recognizing that lifestyle and wellbeing can be pieces of the puzzle too.

Because beautiful skin isn't about chasing perfection.

It's about learning to understand your skin, support it, and work with it instead of constantly fighting against it. 🌿

I’m so excited to finally bring one of my favorite areas of holistic esthetics out of the treatment room and into your hands.

This October, we’ll be hosting intimate Face Lymphatic Drainage Classes featuring both facial cupping + lymphatic facial brushing.

This won’t simply be a “follow along” class. We’re going to learn the why behind the techniques—including how the facial lymphatic system works, why pressure and direction matter, and how these gentle practices may help support fluid movement, temporarily reduce puffiness, ease facial tension and encourage a naturally refreshed appearance.

✨ SAVE THESE DATES

October 19th • 5:30–6:30ish PM
October 27th • 5:30–6:30ish PM
October 29th • 5:30–6:30ish PM

And the best part? 🤎

Each guest will leave with their own facial cupping set + lymphatic facial brushes so you can continue everything you've learned as part of your at-home skincare and wellness ritual.

Think of it as part skincare class, part anatomy lesson, and part cozy evening of self-care. 🌿

Pricing + booking details are coming soon. Spaces will be very limited.

September is a season of transition—not only for the world around us, but for our skin, too. 🍂

After months of sunshine, heat, humidity, sunscreen, sweat, and outdoor adventures, September is one of my favorite times to begin shifting our focus toward repair, replenishment, and restoring the skin barrier.

You may start noticing:
• More visible sun damage or pigmentation
• Dehydration and dullness
• Rough or uneven texture
• Congestion from summer buildup
• Increased sensitivity as the air becomes cooler and drier

A September facial gives us the opportunity to assess where your skin is right now and begin preparing it for the cooler months ahead. Depending on what your skin needs, we can focus on gentle exfoliation, deep hydration, barrier support, oxygenation, lymphatic movement, or more corrective treatments as we move farther away from peak summer sun.

But skincare is only part of why I believe these appointments matter.

As summer begins to quiet down, September can be an invitation for you to slow down, too. An hour on the treatment table can become a small reset for your nervous system—a place to breathe deeply, soften your shoulders, quiet your mind, and allow someone else to care for you for a little while.

At Alexsandra Esthetics, I want your facial to be more than something you do to your skin. I want it to be a ritual that supports your skin and your overall wellbeing. 🤍

My September availability is officially open, with appointments available for facials, advanced skincare treatments, and waxing.

🍂 New season.
🌿 New skin goals.
✨ A little more time intentionally set aside for you.

September appointments are limited, so I recommend reserving ahead if you have a particular day or time in mind.

Your skin. Your time. Your ritual.

🌿 THE EMBER & STONE JOURNAL
Live by the Light: Understanding Your Circadian Rhythm

Your body has been keeping time long before calendars, alarms, and schedules ever existed.

Your circadian rhythm is your internal roughly 24-hour clock. It helps coordinate when you feel awake, when you become sleepy, and influences processes including hormone release, digestion, body temperature, and metabolism.

And one of its strongest signals? Light. ☀️

Morning light tells your brain that the day has begun. As daylight fades, your body receives cues that it's time to begin winding down, with melatonin typically rising in the evening to support sleep.

That means some of the simplest wellness habits can also help support your natural rhythm:

🌅 MORNING | WAKE
Get outside for natural morning light. Move your body, nourish yourself, and give your internal clock a clear signal that the day has started.

☀️ MIDDAY | ENGAGE
Continue getting daylight, eat regular balanced meals, move, and give your body opportunities to be active during the hours it expects wakefulness.

🌄 EVENING | SOFTEN
As the sun goes down, begin lowering the stimulation around you. Dim bright lights, reduce screens when possible, slow your pace, and create a predictable evening ritual.

🌙 NIGHT | RESTORE
A bedroom that is cool, dark, and quiet, paired with fairly consistent sleep and wake times, can help reinforce your body's sleep-wake rhythm.

The beautiful part?

Supporting your circadian rhythm doesn't require a complicated wellness routine.

Sometimes it looks like stepping outside with your morning coffee.
Taking a walk beneath the Maine pines.
Watching the sun disappear behind the water.
Turning down the lights.
Putting your phone away.
And allowing nighttime to actually feel like nighttime.

Our bodies evolved in relationship with the rising and setting sun—and sometimes wellness is less about adding another thing to our routine and more about returning to a rhythm our bodies already understand. 🌿

Your body was designed with a rhythm.
Align with nature. Honor your rhythm.
