Gulf Islands Wellness

I’m excited to introduce my newly-built, by-appointment-only spa studio located on Shopland road at the South End of Galiano Island. Gulf Islands Wellness is located about 1 km from the Sturdies Bay ferry terminal.

As a Certified Esthetician, Nail Technician, and Spa Therapist, I bring over 20 years of experience and care to every treatment I provide.
