I believe most women don’t come to skincare because something is wrong. They come because something has changed.
Skin shifts with time, stress, hormones, and life itself. What once felt familiar can suddenly feel unpredictable. My work begins by honoring that change—not fighting it.
Ember & Stone was created as a space where skincare is approached with patience, understanding, and intention. Not rushed. Not transactional. Not driven by trends. Just thoughtful care that meets you exactly where you are.
How I Work
Skin is not separate from the body. It responds to the nervous system, lymphatic flow, facial musculature, and overall wellbeing. When those systems are supported, the skin becomes clearer, stronger, and more resilient.
My approach blends advanced skin science with restorative techniques, allowing results to unfold without compromising the skin barrier or overwhelming the body. I focus on supporting function first—because healthy skin behaves differently than stressed skin.
Each treatment is guided by what your skin needs that day. No scripts. No one-size-fits-all protocols. Just educated, intuitive care shaped by experience and ongoing study.
Who I Serve
I specialize in working with women in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond—those navigating hormonal shifts, sensitivity, dehydration, changes in firmness, or skin that no longer responds the way it once did.
Many of my clients are thoughtful, busy women who want to understand their skin rather than chase quick fixes. They value consistency, education, and care that evolves alongside them.
If you’re ready to stop questioning your skin and start supporting it, you’ll feel at home here.
The Experience
From the moment you arrive, the focus is on helping your body shift out of stress and into repair. Touch is intentional. Time is honored. Products are chosen with care.
Treatments are offered by time to allow for full customization and flexibility. Sessions may include advanced facial massage, lymphatic drainage, microcurrent, LED light therapy, dermaplaning, gentle resurfacing, and deep hydration—always selected based on your skin’s current needs.
This is not about doing more.
It’s about doing what matters.
A Note From Me
Your skin isn’t failing.
It’s entering a new chapter.
My role isn’t to “fix” you—it’s to help your skin adapt, strengthen, and thrive as your life changes. Together, we build a plan that makes sense for your skin, your lifestyle, and your season.
I’m honored to be part of that process.

I'm Ally, Welcome.
I'm Justine, Welcome.
I believe our bodies carry more than we realize.
Stress. Responsibility. Repetition. Emotion. The pace of everyday life. Over time, those things can settle into the body as tension, discomfort, fatigue, and a feeling of being disconnected from ourselves.
My work begins by listening to what the body is asking for—not simply where it hurts.
Ember & Stone was created as a place where you can step away from the noise for a little while. A place where care is unhurried, touch has purpose, and you are given permission to simply be.
How I Work
No two bodies carry life in quite the same way.
My approach to massage blends therapeutic technique with intuitive, restorative touch to create sessions that are both effective and deeply grounding. I pay attention not only to areas of tension, but to how the body responds as a whole—allowing each treatment to unfold according to what you need that day.
Some days, your body may need focused therapeutic work. Other days, it may need slower movement, gentle pressure, and space for the nervous system to settle.
Often, it needs a little of both.
Rather than following the same routine for every person, I work intentionally and intuitively, adjusting pressure, pace, and technique throughout your session.
The goal is not simply to work on the body.
It is to work with it.
Who I Serve
I work with people who spend much of their lives taking care of everything and everyone around them.
The busy parent. The active body. The person carrying stress in their shoulders without realizing it. The one who wakes up feeling tight and tired. The person who simply knows they need an hour where nothing is being asked of them.
You do not need to wait until your body is hurting to receive massage.
Massage can also be part of caring for yourself before tension becomes something you simply learn to live with.
Whether you are seeking support for muscular tension, stress, an active lifestyle, or simply a deeper sense of rest, your session is created around you.
The Experience
From the moment you settle onto the table, there is nowhere else you need to be.
Your session may incorporate therapeutic massage techniques, focused muscle work, flowing restorative movements, gentle stretching, and intuitive energy work depending on what your body needs.
Pressure is always thoughtful. Communication is welcomed. And there is never an expectation that your massage needs to look exactly like someone else’s.
Some sessions are deeply restorative.
Some are more therapeutic and focused.
Most find their way somewhere beautifully in between.
The intention is for you to leave feeling lighter, more open, and more at home in your body than when you arrived.
This is not about forcing the body to let go.
It is about creating the conditions where it finally feels safe enough to.
A Note From Me
I have always found connection through movement.
Outside of the treatment room, I’m an avid runner and happiest outdoors, especially on Maine’s trails and tucked among the trees. Movement has taught me to appreciate how much our bodies do for us—and how important it is to give something back to them.
I’m also a wife and mom of three, with a home filled with cheerleading, football, three dogs, two cats, and plenty of joyful chaos. I understand what it means to move through full days while carrying a lot for the people you love.
Maybe that is part of why I believe so deeply in creating space to come back to yourself.
You deserve care before your body has to beg for it.
It is an honor to create that space for you.
