Meet the Yōso Team

The Circle of Care

❍

The Circle of Care ❍

healing begins with who holds the space.

Each member of our team brings their own rhythm, their own lived wisdom, their own way of listening.

We are not technicians.
We are guides.

Rooted in integrity, presence, and the belief that everybody has a story worth honoring.

This is a circle of care held gently, offered reverently.

Together, we are here to help you return. To breathe. To balance. To yourself.

Jennalee Dahlen

Founder / Chief Visionary & Esthetician

For many years I have had a deep passion for skin health and the incredible physical, mental and emotional benefits it can create for an individual when it is taken care of.  I could not be more thrilled to share that enjoyment and knowledge with all the wonderful humans that experience a treatment with me. At Yoso we acknowledge the skin is our largest organ and we believe that what you put on your body is just as important as what you put in your body. Which is why our approach is clean, organic and natural beauty and skincare.
