Positive Skin Aging Esthetician!
Michelle has been operating in downtown Madison since 2011, when she began collaborating with LMT Sandra York of Serenity Spa and Wellness. After the Covid shutdown of 2020, Michelle decided it was time to create a brand identity that honored her passion for innovative skin care and so Skin Joy was born.
In the fall of 2022, she took a larger step and expanded to the current location of 1514 West Academy Street. The last 3 years have been spent refining her facial craft and expanding her knowledge in the areas of autoimmune disease, menopause both peri- and post, intentional facial massage techniques, and learning how to integrate a holistic approach into skincare at Skin Joy.
June of 2025 marked another significant career milestone as Michelle decided to retire from 22 years as a natural nail and pedicure specialist. Of all the business decisions ever made, this one was the hardest, but Michelle has chosen to follow passion with purpose and commit to skincare and the pursuit of the Perfect Customized Facial.
Skin Joy of Madison specializes in helping clients regain optimal skin health and function and works largely with clients 40+ addressing skin issues related to hormonal changes and autoimmune dysfunction. Michelle is sought out for her positive-aging peptide facials and collagen stimulating treatments. Skin Joy offers the following non-invasive skincare services: dermaplane, chemical peels, LED light therapy, microcurrent, electrodessication, cryotherapy, micro-infusion, and collagen-induction.
Philosophy
"The Path to Beautiful Skin is through Healing the skin."
Continuing education is a priority for Michelle, staying primed on the latest skincare products, techniques, therapies and certifications is in her DNA. Her goal is not just to help each patient achieve healthy skin but to also gain a renewed spirit. She does this by creating a custom skin and body care regimen based on her clients needs and desires.
Michelle understands that every face and body is unique, each requires an individualized approach. Every client starts with a thorough consultation to evaluate the type of results they desire as well as to how it will compliment their lifestyle and overall well being.
Mission
Self-care through skin-care
Everyone needs an activity or experience that restores them both mentally and physically. Whether you are getting a facial or a pedicure, my intention is to provide a service that brings about positive physical change and a sense of self-fulfillment that will help you radiate happiness and peace in your everyday living.
For every woman to see, feel and own her unique beauty — from youth to maturity.
We have been raised with the notion that age is something to fight and fear. This is a false narrative that needs to be re-scripted! We should embrace each passing year with a plan to age positively and successfully with the aid of a qualified professional, safe products and clinical treatments.
