Spa

Born and raised in Petoskey, Michigan, Kristine discovered yoga as a powerful path to healing, self-connection, and confidence. She quickly fell in love with the welcoming, inclusive environment yoga provided and felt called to deepen her practice. In 2017, she completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training and Reiki Level One certification, expanding her understanding of mind–body–spirit wellness.

Kristine is deeply inspired by the many ways intentional movement, touch, and self-care can support overall well-being. In 2023, she completed her massage therapy certification and became a Licensed Massage Therapist through Willoway and Traverse City Studio Pro Massage School. She is passionate about helping others find relief, restoration, and balance through therapeutic bodywork.

Currently, Kristine is training in esthetics, further expanding her ability to support holistic healing through mindful, skin-focused care. She is excited to integrate skincare with bodywork and energy-based practices to offer a more comprehensive wellness experience.

When she’s not in the treatment room, Kristine enjoys life as a new mom and loves spending time outdoors hiking, reading, and exploring photography.

 Ashley is a dual-licensed massage therapist and esthetician who believes deeply in natural, holistic healing. She blends intuitive touch with mindful skincare to support the body’s innate ability to heal.

After 13 years in bodywork, Ashley felt called to expand into skincare—largely because she knows firsthand what it’s like to struggle with problem skin. Having dealt with acne well into adulthood, she understands how emotional those challenges can be. She believes confidence comes from within, but no one’s skin should hold them back, and caring for your skin should feel supportive, not overwhelming.

Originally from Alpena, Michigan, Ashley moved to Petoskey to be closer to family and now offers a grounded blend of healing touch and results-driven, restorative skincare here at Willoway Spa and Wellness. 

When she’s not in the treatment room, you’ll find her camping, wandering wooded trails playing disc golf, or cozying up with her cat, Bugherra.

Jennifer grew up in Grand Ledge, Michigan, attended college in Grand Rapids where she earned her bachelor’s degree in education, and later traveled to Ireland to live and study interior design. After years of family vacations in Boyne City, she knew Northern Michigan was where she wanted to put down roots and raise her family. She met her husband, Keith, while working for an engineering firm in Petoskey, and together they are raising their two children, Eliana and Noah.

With over a decade of experience in the skincare industry, Jennifer is now a licensed esthetician who brings a thoughtful, nurturing approach to skin health and self-care. She completed Willoway’s Apprenticeship Program under Ellie and is passionate about offering restorative, results-driven treatments that support both skin health and overall well-being.

Outside of the treatment room, Jennifer enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, listening to music, reading, cooking, biking, and immersing herself in nature—especially when surrounded by animals.
