Spa Owner
Nicole Weide
Nicole is the owner of NuAge Spa and a licensed esthetician with over seventeen years of experience in the aesthetic industry.

Outside the spa, Nicole spends her time with her husband Brian and their two boys. She finds balance in her garden and quiet joy in the company of their goats and chickens.
