Willow Aesthetics and Spa Services

Ericka was born and raised in Kenora, Ontario and has a long standing love for the community and the lake. In 2016 she graduated from Lakehead University with an HBFA and moved back to Kenora shortly after graduation where her self employment journey began. Ericka connected with the Northwest Business Centre and took advantage of one of their entrepreneurship programs. Many of you may recognize Ericka as the instructor/owner of Black Bark Studio which began in 2016. Ericka is still operating Black Bark Studio as opportunities arise or workshops are booked.

Although she loves instructing art classes, Ericka was still looking for that missing link between human connection and predictable/stable income stream which led her to pursue a diploma in esthetics in 2018 in Thunder Bay, Ontario. After graduating, she opened Willow Aesthetics and Spa Services on Main Street in Kenora in 2019.

Ericka is currently operating the day spa full time and teaching a few hours a week at Seven Generations Institute for the esthetics program offered there. She continues to pursue new training and opportunities that expand her menu and offerings.
