Monique
Founder
LICENSED MASTER ESTHETICIAN
LICENSED MASTER ESTHETICIAN Instructor
Monique founded Ossa Skinworks because she wanted to provide people in the Olympia area with deeply nourishing skin care using evidence-based technology and methods that produce tangible results. She provides our full range of facials, chemical peels, dermaplaning, nanoneedling, microneedling, and more. She is our skin consultation expert.
Monique’s business is founded on an education-based approach that empowers people to make the best decisions they can for healthy, beautiful skin.
“I understand that we are holistic beings,” Monique says. “Our skin is a reflection of our diet, stress levels, genetics, and natural environment. I believe that if we make changes to positively influence life habits, skin health and beauty will follow.”
Monique has extensive experience, both as a licensed master esthetician and a licensed master esthetics instructor. Her outlook, as both a skin care practitioner and as a person, is a blend of science and nature. She pursued an education in the health sciences field and worked in infectious disease, a solid foundation from which to analyze the many skin care products and services on the market. The products, treatments, and services she practices always line up with the science.
She also has a background in wellness, first as the child of a gardener and herbalist and later as a Reiki and Healing Touch practitioner.
As an instructor, Monique uses a needs-based approach that takes each student’s learning style into consideration. Her students describe her as generous, clear, authentic, full of curiosity, and a master of the craft.
When she’s not at the studio, Monique enjoys gardening, traveling with her husband, Justin, and cooking, dancing, playing, and reading with her daughter, Asha
Glynesh (GG)
LICENSED MASTER ESTHETICIAN
GG offers a full range of facials at Ossa Skinworks, including chemical peels, microcurrent, microneedling, and other advanced services. She has a particular affinity for modern machinery and how it overlaps with skincare, especially ultrasonic services, and high-frequency treatments. She is also a certified sugaring specialist.
Her specialty fits well with her personality. Growing up, GG was fascinated with science. (She was the kid who wanted a microscope for Christmas.) Later, she transferred that enthusiasm to makeup, learning all she could from watching tutorials online. She decided she wanted to be a makeup artist.
But her life changed when she heard this phrase: “Your makeup will only look as good as your skin looks.” That put her on the esthetician’s path, one that happily blends her love of science with her love of the beauty industry. Ironically, she notes, she hardly wears makeup anymore, preferring the look of super healthy skin.
GG and her husband are big movie and music fans. They unwind at weekend concerts, going to an eclectic range of shows, everything from Swedish alt pop to underground hip hop to psychedelic soul. They also spend time playing outside with all 11 pounds of their mini dachshund, Hazey.
Corynn
LICENSED ESTHETICIAN
Corynn offers a full range of facials at Ossa Skinworks, including chemical peels, microcurrent, nano-needling, and dermaplaning. She also offers ultrasonic services and high-frequency treatments. Corynn also offers all of our available sugaring services and offers lash lifts and tints and brow laminations and tints.
Corynn’s approach to facial treatments is a natural reflection of her personality. She’s passionate about the idea that true skin health begins from within. At age 10, Corynn was diagnosed with an autoimmune thyroid disorder which has caused some of her own skin challenges. Her health journey continues to shape her philosophy. For Corynn, the key to glowing, healthy skin isn’t just in the products you use, it’s about what you eat, how you manage your stress, your genetics, your natural environment, and how you find joy and nourish your spirit.
Corynn is a sugaring specialist certified through Sweet and True. Her approach is rooted in creating a welcoming, judgment-free space where every client can feel at ease. With a deep understanding of skin health and sensitivity, Corynn takes the time to educate clients on aftercare and long-term skin wellness. Whether it’s your first sugaring session or you’re a seasoned regular, she’s committed to making the experience as smooth (literally and figuratively) as possible.
Corynn loves helping clients feel their best with lash lifts and tints and brow laminations and tints. She helps clients achieve effortlessly polished, low-maintenance looks. Whether you want a subtle boost or a more defined look, Corynn makes sure your lashes and brows look great.
In her free time you can find Corynn with her husband and her French bulldog, Masha. She enjoys cooking and baking, doing art and photography, or listening to music and audiobooks. When she’s out and about in her hometown of Olympia, she loves to get her nature time in at West Bay park, where she and her husband had their first date. You can catch Corynn at local farmer’s markets, enjoying music events and good food, and finding the best thrifts.
