Terri Fehlner; Esthetician; Massage Therapist; Cosmetologist
Terri’s professional career started 47 years ago as a cosmetologist in Michigan. Terri relocated to The Adirondacks in ‘91’, and never looked back, nor had the desire to reside anywhere else. She just knew that this area was to be my new home!
Terri continued her education during the time when full service spas started to gain popularity, and back to school she went, where she then added two more NYS licenses to her credentials in both Esthetics and Massage Therapy.
Terri feels fortunate and very grateful that her passion for the vocations that she chose continues to grow! Her primary priority is to make you feel welcomed into a calming space that encourages complete relaxation and pampering.
When Terri is not working in the spa, you may find her cooking, gardening, or just taking in the beauty of the Adirondacks.
Terri offers many different types of facial treatments to cover your specific needs. Pick either 30, 60, or 90 minutes, depending on how much time you want to be pampered.
Contact Information: Check out her menu of offerings or contact her directly at tmfehlner@gmail.com.
