YOUR TRUSTED OMAHA ESTHETICIANS 

Mantis was created to be a safe, inclusive, and warm space for all to enjoy.




















On Instagram, I’m known as the Soup Queen and a Twilight girlie. I have a son and two cats, who keep me very busy on my time off. I don’t limit myself when it comes to interests. In my past life, I was a videographer and animator who ended up working in Corporate America. I realized that I couldn’t be the person I truly wanted to be in that environment and knew things had to change. I finally decided to leave that career and go back to esthetics school, and here I am. I love a good Gilmore Girls moment followed by a horror movie. I love doing Pilates and I also love rotting on the couch with a good romantasy novel. I love being social and making plans with friends and I also love being a homebody and my bed. I think life is all about balance. And laughter. Lots of laughter. And also soup, to be honest. While I take my job very seriously, I like to create a space that feels lighthearted and comfortable for each client who walks in the door. I know how intimidating it can feel walking into a traditional day spa. It’s my goal for you to never feel that way when you walk into our colorful space.

We provide services that are deeply relaxing while still bringing in that skin correction you’re looking for. You can expect a luxurious experience every time you come into Mantis Spa, even when you’re receiving a treatment like a chemical peel or micorneedling. Whether you’re just coming in to relax or you have specific skin goals you want to work towards, you are welcome here. Mantis was created to be a safe, inclusive, and warm space for all to enjoy. When looking at what Omaha had to offer, I noticed that many of the spas in the area are either dark and moody or they’re bright or neutral. While I love those vibes, too, it just didn’t feel like me. I always say that Mantis looks like the inside of my heart— colorful, bold, and so vibrant. 

Like many of you, I have also struggled with my skin. As an adult, I developed acne, which I had never in my life dealt with before. It felt humiliating. I had no idea what to do and I felt so uncomfortable going out in public. I loaded on makeup and hid my skin. I cried all the time and literally deleted every picture from that time that really showcased how my skin looked. I wish I hadn’t deleted those pictures now because I realize that they were important steps on my journey to clear skin. After becoming an esthetician, I decided to work towards becoming an acne specialist. It has been such a joy getting to work with my clients and seeing their confidence come back as their skin clears. While acne is a specialty of ours, we are also educated on working with a variety of skin conditions, skin colors, and genders.

We will help bring back your confidence and cheer you on the whole way. At Mantis Spa, you can show up exactly as you are and know that you’ll find peace and comfort in our beautiful space. We’ve had clients come in and cry about heartbreaking news they received or something frustrating that happened to them. We’ve had clients come in celebrating big news and accomplishments. We are here to hold space for you regardless of how you’re feeling. If you’re looking to start off your skin journey on the right foot, book yourself a New Client Consultation + Treatment and let us create a treatment plan that will truly target your goals, no matter what they are.

SCORPIOOOOOOOO!

ZODIAC SIGN:

 I love getting to take time for myself, whether that’s to cross things off my to-do list or spend a day just relaxing. When I’m off work, I really love spending time with my husband and son and with my friends. Surrounding myself with people who uplift and support me really helps me to stay inspired and excited about my job.

I love deeply connecting with my clients and giving them a safe space to show up as they are and unwind.
