I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio and have lived all over the country. I got to live in Arizona from 2020-2021 and my husband and I loved it and said we would retire here. We have been back in Arizona since 2018 when I opened both of my Hand and Stone spa locations Gilbert and Old Town Scottsdale. My husband spent the majority of his career coaching women's college basketball and he is currently the head women's coach at Arizona Christian University located in Glendale, Arizona. Our daughter is a graphic designer and is married to a police officer and lives in the greater Chicago, IL area.

I spent my career working in the oil industry and had many different opportunities and managed several different types of businesses during my 36-year career. I have an MBA from Case Western Reserve University - Weatherhead School of Management located in Cleveland, OH. I had the opportunity to manage terminal distribution centers, trucking operations, joint venture pipelines, refinery controller with storehouse operations and IT systems, logistics scheduling, and trading. When I retired, I managed the clean products distribution (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, ethanol) for a major oil company for their entire US operation including 13 refineries, pipeline distribution systems, and barge, ship, and railcar transportation modes to offload refineries daily and supply our marketing business as well as bulk customers.

When I lived in Houston, TX I had a very stressful job and had to undergo 9 months of very painful physical therapy as I wasn't listening to my body. I found massage was very important to me to relieve stress as well as tense muscles from working at a computer several hours a day. It was difficult to find affordable quality care until Hand and Stone started to open locations in the Houston area. I became a member on my first visit and loved the quality of care at the affordable price point. When I retired I wanted to run my own business and felt that I could be passionate about massage and facial self-care going into my retirement years and established franchises with Hand and Stone in Arizona.

We offer a lifestyle program that enables clients to embrace our massage and facial services as part of their overall wellness program on a monthly basis at our lowest prices with many perks. We offer rewards points that can be used for enhanced services and free services, discounts on retail products, freebies throughout the year, member pricing for gift card purchases etc.

It's always best to share your specific reason for your appointment - don't be shy about sharing what's bothering you. We hire service providers who truly care to address your needs and have you become a repeat client to maintain your state of wellness.

Hand and Stone Massage and Facial spa is a franchise that is constantly looking for new innovative ways to help our clients with their wellness needs. We started offering facial and body toning and body slimming services a few years ago and it's been a real hit in the Gilbert market as it's affordable and we get results for our clients without any downtime or discomfort. Our process has shown with multiple slimming treatments, that at least a full inch can be slimmed from the abdomen area as well each thigh.

We have been in business for 6+ years and are still growing. We see over 900 repeat clients every month and 50-70 new clients every week.
