Krista Kennedy
Spa Owner
With over 20 years of experience in the aesthetic 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.
Michelle Treacher
Head Aesthetician
In the aesthetic industry for over 20 years, Michelle graduated from Zehava School of Esthetics in 1997. In June 2004, she opened her own spa in Alliston, and after running her spa for 5 years, Michelle decided to close her doors to focus on being a full-time mom to her daughter Josie, and son, Carmen. After taking 3 years off to raise her children, she decided to get back to her first passion, aesthetics, and joined the team at Natural Balance Day Spa in August 2012. Growing her clientele over the last 5 years, her clients have come to love her bubbly, outgoing personality, as well as her knowledge of all things beauty and health related. Alongside Krista and the other staff members, she makes sure each client has a relaxing, rejuvenating experience each time they visit.

Spa Etiquette
At Natural Balance Day Spa, we want to ensure each client arrives prepared to relax. To do so, we advise:
-
Arriving 15 minutes prior to your treatment time to complete any consultation forms, then allowing you a few minutes to unwind
-
Turning cell phones off or setting them to silent mode
-
Ensuring that any children under the age of 16 are accompanied by an adult and only at the spa if they are receiving a treatment
We understand that things can come up at times; however, if you’re running late, we may have to customize your treatment to stay on schedule for our next guest.
Packages and Group Bookings
When booking packages or group bookings over $125, we require a credit card number to hold your spots. A few other things to keep in mind:
-
24-hour notice for cancellations of services of 3 or more
-
72-hour notice for group booking cancellations
-
48-hour notice for changes to any services in a large group booking
If you are unable to provide us adequate notice, a 25% charge will be added to the card on file.
If your cancellations occur the evening before or the day of a group or package booking, and in this event that we are unable to fill your spots on such short notice, your card on file will be charged 100% of the service fees.
A 15% gratuity will automatically be added to large group bookings of 4 people or more.
