Devin Lawrenz, BS-OM, Licensed Esthetician
Devin earned a Bachelors of Science in Operation Management from Northern Illinois University (NIU), in 2003. After graduation, she worked in banking and hotel management. Devin was also a military wife and stay-at-home mom for many years. After her husband’s retirement from the Air Force, and her kids were both in school, she was eager to return to work or open a new business. She became a part-time administrative assistant, and eventually the managing partner for Michelle’s Massage Therapy in 2017.
She loved working in the spa environment and decided to pursue her passion for aesthetics. She graduated in 2018 from New Image Technical School in O’Fallon, IL. She provided skin care services at Michelle’s for 2 years, and eventually purchased one of the spas from Michelle in 2020, which she rebranded as The Massage Spa of O’Fallon and Skin by Devin. After a few years of being apart, and managing separate locations, Michelle and Devin decided to go back to the basics and work together focusing on what they love the most–providing professional spa services to their clients in a serene environment.
Devin is originally from India and moved with her family to the U.S. when she was 14. She has mostly lived in Chicago and the St. Louis area. She still visits family and friends yearly in India and is inspired by the natural spa treatments provided there. She integrates services such as scalp treatments, massage, microdermabrasion, peels and aromatherapy with her skin care facials and is passionate about educating her clients, and customizing each treatment plan for amazing results!
Outside of work and travel, Devin enjoys spending time with her family and friends, cooking traditional Indian dishes, walking in her neighborhood, and practicing yoga and meditation.
