Founder/Aesthetician/Mother
Skincare & aesthetic therapy has been an innate practice of mine since childhood that evolved into my professional aesthetician career that I began officially as a teenager. After thousands of treatments performed I am still entranced with my craft. I love to strengthen my clients’ relationship with their sacred garment (skin) through multi-dimensional perspectives, patience, practice, & most importantly — consistency.
I started Potion, in 2017 with the intention of creating a unique & non-intimidating setting for conscientious skincare treatments. All the skincare products used & sold are non-toxic.
Outside of the treatment room, I’m lifting something very heavy in the gym, dancing, & expanding other facets of my life.

Esthetician/Mama/Capricorn
I’ve been a practicing esthetician in ATX for 13+ years, and feel so lucky to call it my career. My entire esthetics philosophy is centered around gentle, thoughtful changes that create lasting effects in your skin.
Skincare doesn’t have to be complicated!
I truly believe in my craft and all it’s capable of — skin is a beautiful, responsive thing; we all have the tools to keep it healthy and absolutely glowing! Together we can work towards your goals, while letting you catch your breath from the busy world in the process.
My goal is for you to leave each session more confident with your skin and with the knowledge to upkeep it.
I’m beyond happy to have brought my practice to Potion, and cannot wait to meet you!

Aesthetician/Lash Artist/Pisces
Hi, I’m Rowan (or just Ro)! a skin care enthusiast, lash artist & brow perfectionist. I believe your appointment is intentional time to put the to-do list on pause while we focus fully on you. To me, the treatment room is where you come to return to yourself.
I’m a multifaceted creative, a devoted bunny mom, and a lifelong beauty connoisseur who genuinely loves understanding how skin functions & how product ingredients work with your skin. I believe in intuitive, customized treatments that respect your natural beauty as well as your wish list.
I’m always working on expanding my education & adding new services to my offerings. I strive to make every appointment relaxed, judgment-free, and guided by both intuition & science, with the goal of helping you feel comfortable, confident, and most importantly- at home in your skin.

Cosmetic Tattoo Artist / Affirming Adorner / Iridescent
A former mental health counselor with numerous chronic conditions, I found myself seeking that divine balance between caring for myself and caring for others. After much training, mentorship and a village of helping hands, I was fortunate to forge this marriage of my passions in cosmetic tattooing, brows and aesthetic adornments including tooth gems.
I fell in love with eyebrows when I began playing around with my own to define shapes that felt more affirming to my gender fluidity. As I noticed a general lack of affirming permanent makeup environments, I set out on my PMU journey in early 2022 with a clear vision guided by virtues I hold dear: inclusivity, collaboration, integrity and nurturance of your individual nature.
Today, I hold over 10 certifications in Permanent Makeup (including for brows, eyeliner, lips and freckles) by some of the best in the industry and continue to invest in my education.
I hope to offer you a safe(r) space to make your cosmetic tattoo visions come to life with care here at Potion and can’t wait to connect with you!
If I’m not practicing my craft, I can be found spending time in my personal plant “forest”, enjoying wildflowers, singing, getting creative in any number of mediums or goofing around with my partner, pups and cat.

Licensed Massage Therapist/Certified Esalen® Massage Practitioner/Pisces Moon
I choose to do this work because I want to help people befriend their own bodies.
Because becoming in touch with ourselves is an ongoing task of life, and bodywork, as I’ve come to understand it, is a means of continually learning who we are.
In 2020 I opened my private practice, Touch Ceremony, with the mission of giving back significance to rituals of touch and felt experience. In a violent, or sometimes even boring, world, my practice is about creating the awareness to feel better, to feel more.
I'm certified in Esalen® massage by the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California, as well as in cupping therapy by the International Cupping Therapy Association, and I’m an active student of the Trager® Approach through Trager International.
When I’m not dancing around a massage table, I’m probably homesteading at my property in Lockhart, deepening myself at a somatics workshop in some faraway place, or floating in a Texas river.

Tarot Oracle/ Reiki Master/ Therapeutic Yoga Teacher/ Scorpio Rising
From a child who set up a fortune telling tent at her middle school carnival, collected magic stones, and went on walks with her guides in her young dreams, I lost my way for a bit in early adulthood and then found my way back to magic and its healing gifts when I reached my 30s. As a single mom to a kiddo under the neurodivergent umbrella, I had to dive into the world of neuro spiciness and all things nervous system regulation. It led me down a path to becoming a healer specializing in therapeutic yoga + tarot and Reiki. I refer to it as science + woo.
As a certified trauma-conscious yoga instructor, Reiki Master, and Tarot Oracle, I am passionate about weaving together the wisdom of tarot with the energetic healing of Reiki, somatic movement + breathwork.
I am also delving into the world of offering retreats with a mindful and eco tourism lens. I led a transformative yoga safari in Malawi, Africa in June 2024, and have other trips on the agenda.
When I’m not exploring the intersections of tarot, mind/body connection, and the chakras, you can find me indulging in thrift shopping, exploring Texas and beyond, and eating... usually with my amazing husband and equally amazing teenager who miraculously still likes to hang out with us.

Studio Assistant/Lover Girl/Cancer
As a big time advocate for self care I prioritize any ritual in order to feel peace and tranquillity. The industry of Esthetics has always intrigued me from a very young age and is something that I have an overwhelming passion for! As a studio assistant, I act as a guide to clients as they transition out of a service and provide them with knowledge on products and help book their next appointment!
About Me: I have lived in Austin my whole life and am currently almost finished with my degree in social media communication, I am also a big time foodie! I may at times give off shy vibes but I am an ultimate listener who loves conversation and chitchats. Makeup is my favorite topic, and it’s the only hobby I never gave up (haha)
In my free time I love to thrift, listen to feel good music, and spend time with the people closest to me!
