Hi Friends!  My name is Heather Jones and I own The Essence, an aesthetics studio and skin spa in Wray, Colorado.  I'm a Licensed Esthetician and Certified Herbalist who studied in Denver at the School of Botanical and Medical Aesthetics, and Herbalism Roots. My focus is in corrective skincare with a emphasis in whole body wellness.  I specialize in lymphatic and connective tissue techniques using the tools of the one and only, Cecily Braden.  While merging my knowledge in Herbalism with services such as The Gua Sha and The Lymphatic Brush Facial, I am able effectively work with clients to create real, tangible, positive effects in the body and skin.

Additionally, I perform luxurious spa services such as facials, body treatments, waxing, and lash and brow tinting. I have advanced certifications in Cecily Braden's Gua Sha Fusion, Thai herbal compresses, and The Lymphatic Brush; microneedling, chemical peels, dermaplaning, microdermabrasion, color correction and make-up application, and reiki.

I am constantly thirsting for knowledge and experience, so I'm always on the hunt to further my education.  While following my passion for all that is natural, I have acquired a wealth of knowledge allowing me to create individualized treatment plans focusing on each person's unique needs.  I have always had a passion for biology and anatomy, and a serious drive to help people.  I feel incredibly blessed that I have a career that allows me to mesh both!

Treatments are only as beneficial as the products you're using so I have teamed-up with three top-of-the-line companies, AnteAGE, Sanitas Skincare and VXN.  AnteAGE is based out of California and uses stem cells, growth factors and cytokines, which are ethically sourced from human adult donors. This promotes the highest level of optimization in anti-aging skincare, as supported by peer-reviewed research.  VXN are Colorado-based companies who, utilizing the latest in scientific advances, have hand-crafted premium, clean, skin care lines derived to unveil beautiful, radiant skin. VXN is woman owned, and Sanitas   All companies are cruelty and paraben free, which is very important to the mission of The Essence.  Sanitas Skincare is 100% gluten-free, accommodating those with sensitivities as severe as celiac disease, and produces and packages all of their products in-house, ensuring the top-notch quality we all love.

In my off time I enjoy hanging out with my bulldog, Bleu.  We love to adventure and get our adrenaline fix by trying all that is new.  I enjoy climbing mountains, live music and events, all that is art, water and snow sports, mma and kickboxing, and getting lost in nature. My absolute favorite hobby is to travel the world, picking up cultural techniques and learning to integrate them into my daily life. I love being able to incorporate methods of healing from all cultures to find what works best for me, and those I love.  I truly believe in whole-body wellness and strive to live and promote a healthy and clean way of life.
