Meet the team
Hairstylist/Salon Owner
About Me:
I love doing all kinds of hair services, but my new favorite has to be hair extensions, an opportunity to give people the hair of their dreams! One reason I love doing hair so much is making those feel good about themselves from the inside out. Here at Exhale, we have an opportunity to give others a moment of escape from the craziness of their day, and that makes me so happy. I’ve been blessed with a wonderful family, Greg, my husband, son Braden and his wife Isabella, another son Brock, and a daughter, Averie and her husband, Brett. I am so thankful for my co-owner and amazing friend Valerie and for our salon team that continues to learn and grow each day.
There’s no one easier to prank than me- trust me, the girls have proven this over and over

Esthetician
Speciality: Facials
About Me: In simple words, I’m a hobby hopper. I love to read, workout, TRY to play golf and disc golf, and I’m a coffee connoisseur. I am always looking for something new to keep me busy. One interest I absolutely know will stick around is my love for skin. After attending John A Logan college, I sought after Esthetics at the Royal School of Cosmetology. After overcoming my own skin concerns, I have loved to help others beat theirs! Seeing how Exhale has developed over the years made my choice easy when finding a place to work.

Diana
Massage Therapist
Specialties: Lymphatic Drainage, Prenatal, Postnatal and Infant Massage
About Me:
I am new to the Illinois area and moved to be closer to my daughters in college and sister. I was in middle Tennessee for 25 years with my family of seven children. I have four boys,
three girls and four grandchildren. My journey in the health and wellness area began after the birth of my children and the need for better care of myself. I also work with post operative surgeries, enhancements and reductions when manual lymphatic drainage benefits the healing process. I will advocate for you and the best possible wellness care for you in your health journey.
I am a master gardener, avid traveler and woodworking enthusiast. I have a garden full of herbs and vegetables and landscaping that still needs love too. I still love taking those
unexpected quick weekend trips to new locations.

About Me:
My husband and I have four children, twin daughters and two sons. I graduated from Mattoon High School and worked for Dr. Donald Preeismeier which started my love for helping others feel better. I’ve worked at various locations after graduation and met a massage therapist who inspired me to become one myself. I went to school and began my career. Now it has been over 30 years and I still love what I do. I hope that I can do it until my last breath. Helping people is so rewarding and brings me great joy and satisfaction in life.
