Natural Balance Day Spa

Meet Our Team of Certified Aestheticians

Founded by Krista Kennedy, Natural Balance Day Spa was created as a peaceful escape from life’s everyday demands. We believe in nurturing not just the skin, but the whole person—through professional aesthetic services, a welcoming environment, and products that are safe, clean, and eco-conscious. From the moment you walk in, our calming music, warm lighting, and aromatherapy set the tone for a restorative experience. Our goal is simple: to help you leave our space feeling better than when you arrived.

Krista Kennedy

Spa Owner

With over 20 years of experience in the Esthetic industry, Krista is the very proud owner of Natural Balance Day Spa. After graduating from Goshen Academy of International Beauty in 1997, Krista worked in a number of different spa settings, including Deerhurst Resort, other high-end resorts in the Muskoka area, as well as some well-known spas here in Barrie. With an eye for decorating (her other passion), she has created a relaxing oasis in the heart of Barrie's south end. She took all the best of each spa and put it into her own. Possessing a delicate touch, she is a master of her trade bringing her knowledge of skin, body, and nail care to her clients. Along with her staff, she has created a hidden gem just waiting to be discovered.
