Laura has spent more than a decade building her career within Fernie’s wellness community, co-owning and growing Spa 901 with a focus on meaningful, client-centered care. From the beginning, she was drawn to skincare — not only the treatments themselves, but the science behind how skin functions, adapts, and transforms.

Laura’s interest in medical aesthetics began in 2023 when Botox clinics were introduced at the spa. Watching clinical treatments become part of the wellness environment she and her business partner had carefully cultivated sparked a natural curiosity about how their services could evolve. It opened the door to new possibilities — blending advanced medical treatments with the personalized care their clients had come to trust. Inspired by that progression, Laura pursued formal clinical training and began developing a clinical aesthetics branch of the company in partnership with Dr. Krushel.

By 2025, Laura turned that passion into professional expertise, earning her Medical Aesthetician certification through Glow Up Academy in Calgary, AB. This milestone marked her transition into the treatment room, where she now delivers advanced, clinical-grade solutions tailored to each client’s unique skin needs.

Laura’s philosophy is grounded in education, integrity, and long-term results. Her goal is to empower clients to understand their skin — and how the right treatments and ingredients create meaningful change. Through her own experience with advanced skin treatments and a consistent AlumierMD home-care routine, Laura has seen firsthand how a comprehensive approach can dramatically improve skin concerns. She views advanced treatments and skincare as thoughtful investments, recommending only what is truly suited to each individual. By combining clinical treatments with a personalized home routine and supportive lifestyle habits, Laura is passionate about helping clients achieve lasting, confidence-boosting results.

Hailey began her career in esthetics in 2019 after completing her professional training at Purely Inspired in Lethbridge. From the outset, she has been committed to delivering thoughtful, results-driven treatments grounded in technical precision and ongoing education. Known for her attention to detail and personalized approach, she has built a strong client following and a passion for corrective skincare.

Since relocating to British Columbia in 2021, Hailey has continued to advance her expertise in clinical skin health. She recently completed her Laser, IPL, and Radiofrequency Technician certification through Glow Up Academy in Calgary, enabling her to provide medical-grade, technology-driven treatments through 901 Clinical Aesthetics and offer corrective options beyond traditional facials.

She is especially passionate about guiding clients toward advanced solutions when appropriate — including IPL skin rejuvenation and IPL hair reduction for those ready to move beyond the maintenance of waxing.

Hailey believes healthy skin is never the result of a single treatment. She encourages clients to consider the bigger picture — including lifestyle, hydration, nutrition, stress, hormones, environmental factors, and consistent home care.

Her advice is simple: invest thoughtfully, book a professional consultation, and commit to the process. Healthy, glowing skin is a journey — not a quick fix — and the best results come from a personalized plan combined with consistency both in-clinic and at home.
