It was by accident that Ariel fell into the beauty industry. Her love for clinical research and anything science related was missing something, but she couldn’t put her finger on what. On a whim she decided to take a tour of Merrell University in Jefferson City and decided to attend their esthetic program. When she experienced the one-on-one client interaction, she realized she loved being able to connect with her clients through touch.
After graduating, she began her skin care journey at Spa Shiki and then accepted a Spa Director position at Old Kinderhook. She loved pampering all the guests from the lodge but missed the corrective aspect. She made the decision to go back to school and receive her instructor license, and accepted a position as an educator at Merrell University.
In the summer of 2019 she began her career at Genesis and is loving being back in the treatment room. She loves being able to pamper and educate her clients, yet still offer that corrective option. She has found a place where her passion is fed daily!
When Ariel is not at work she likes to spend her time at home with her family. She lives on a farm with her husband, Ben, and two children, Bryn and Corbin. They enjoy taking care of their farm animals, riding four wheelers, and horse back riding.
