There’s been a lot of change lately.
Personally, collectively and in the work I’m being asked to step more fully into.

And if there’s one thing I keep being reminded of, it’s to listen.

To the nudges.
To what feels expansive.
To what no longer fits the same way it once did.
To the places where comfort can quietly become a reason to stay, even when something deeper is asking us to move.

So yes… another little shift.

Beginning September 8, my Williston days will be moving to Essex Junction, where I’ll be working from Bello, one of the beautiful suites inside the Vermont Med Spa building at 16 Railroad Street.

The building is home to a collection of independent beauty and wellness practitioners, and I’m really looking forward to being in a space that allows me to continue working independently while also being surrounded by others doing their own thoughtful work.

This move feels less like starting over and more like continuing to follow where the work has been leading me toward a slower, quieter, more intentional way of working, with space for both hair and head spa and the kind of one-on-one experience I’ve been wanting to create more of.

I’m learning that trust doesn’t always look like having everything figured out. Sometimes it looks like listening, surrendering a little, and being willing to move when you know it’s time.

I’ll also be away for part of September, so if you’ve been wanting an appointment, online booking is always available and booking ahead is encouraged.

I’m really looking forward to this next chapter.

With love,
Amanda

A little September note 🤍

I’ll be away for a bit in mid-September, celebrating my 40th and adventuring with my husband and I’ll be truly offline + unavailable while I’m away.

If you’ve been thinking about coming in before I go, online booking is open.

There have also been some beautiful little shifts and new ways to receive that have quietly made their way into my offerings lately.

If it’s been a while since you’ve peeked, you may find something new waiting for you there.

I’ve spent a lot of years trying to figure out what to call what I do.

Hair has been one doorway.
Head spa is another.

And then there is everything that doesn’t fit quite so neatly into a name.

The quiet. The touch. The listening. The energy. The moments when something softens and you can feel someone come back into themselves.

I think I’m less interested in naming all of it these days.

I just know what lives underneath it.

A place to slow down.
To be tended to.
To come back to yourself.

There are many ways in. 🤍

Welcome to the sanctuary.

For years, I’ve dreamed of creating a space that felt different.

Not rushed. Not noisy. Not just another appointment.

A place where you could arrive exactly as you are. A place to slow down, soften, and be cared for with presence and intention.

I’m so grateful to finally welcome you into my private studio in St. Johnsbury.

Surrounded by nature, this little sanctuary is now home to a slower, more intentional way of caring for people.

Whether you come for a Head Spa, sacred hair, or simply a quiet moment to yourself, my hope is the same every time—that you feel safe enough to exhale, to let go for a little while, and to leave feeling a little lighter than when you arrived.

I’ll continue seeing clients in Williston as well, while also welcoming those in the Northeast Kingdom to this private sanctuary space.

Thank you to every client who has trusted me over the years. Your support, your stories, and your presence have helped shape this dream into reality.

It is truly an honor to welcome you here.

A year ago, I closed the doors to Lumière.

A few years ago, life cracked me open in ways I never expected. And then again this fall and winter, when our son lost his vision and was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Life created so much change in our world.

For a long time, I felt myself slowing down. Not because I had nothing inside me, but because my body was trying to keep up with everything life was asking me to hold.

And now here I am in spring.Full of ideas again. Inspiration returning. Feeling excitement and creativity moving back through me.

At the same time, my body is still asking for slow.

And instead of fighting that, I’m learning to honor it.

I’m learning to move with life differently than I ever have before. To go with the flow instead of forcing myself to keep up with older versions of myself.

Because the truth is, the soul can hold so much vision and desire to create… but the body is the vessel carrying it all. If the body is not grounded, nourished, and cared for, eventually it speaks louder.

And I think this season has changed the way I hold people too.

Softer. Slower. More intentional. Less rushing. More listening.

Maybe that’s why opening this new private studio feels so significant to me.

Not because it’s flashy or big. But because it was built from this chapter. From slowing down. From reevaluating everything. From wanting something quieter, more intentional, more human.

A sacred little space where I can meet with people one on one.For hair. For conversation. For quiet. For care. For reconnection.

It feels vulnerable opening my doors again in a new way. But it also feels deeply right.

So if life has been asking you to slow down too, whether from something personal, collective or both… this is your reminder to listen.

Our bodies are not inconveniences. They are the vessels carrying us through this life. We cannot bypass them and expect to stay whole.

With love,
Amanda

I’ve been feeling a quiet pull toward this work…
and today it became real.

First set of loc extensions on this beautiful woman.

This isn’t just about adding hair.
it’s about creating something that feels like you’ve always had it…
something that settles in naturally, not forced.
