Hannah has had a lifelong love of learning, particularly in the sciences and their application to health and wellness. She graduated from Dartmouth College in 2004 with a B.A. in Biological Sciences and went on to teach Biology as well as Human Anatomy & Physiology at the High School level. Hannah is an athlete as well, with a first-hand understanding of the physiology of movement and the importance of body awareness and care. She is a true believer in the words of Jack Meagher, legendary pioneer in the field of massage therapy: “An athlete should not have to wait to be injured to be treated”. Inspired to combine her foundation of knowledge and her desire to actively help others, Hannah decided to pursue massage therapy at the North Eastern Institute of Whole Health. There, she delved into over 750 hours of study and practice in the fields of Swedish massage, Neuromuscular techniques, Sports massage, Seated massage, Acupressure, Eastern modalities, Hydrotherapy, Reflexology, Pathology, A&P, Ethics, and Grigorian Method®. Hannah is a proponent of body work that is effective and attentive to each client’s individual needs and goals. Her therapeutic approach to massage facilitates productive relaxation that is right for you.

Growing up, Cassidy always had a passion for makeup and anything beauty-related. Even if it meant getting dressed up and putting makeup on her father or doing her grandfather's nails (which they definitely enjoyed). Over the years that passion turned into a reality, as a recent graduate of Empire Beauty School Cassidy looks forward to sharing her love of nails, custom skincare, and brow shaping with her clients. Cassidy always wanted to learn more and grow with her esthetics skills making her clients always feel special.

Shanel Libby

Over the years Shanel always knew she wanted to work in a field that she could help people feel good about themselves. She tried various paths and none of them seemed to fit exactly what she was trying to achieve. It all happened out of nowhere, one of those moments when you just know what you need to do. She was getting a facial one evening (by Kassie) and in that moment knew she needed to learn all she could about the world of esthetics. Shortly after this, she enrolled in esthetics school. Shanel looks forward to providing her clients with various facial treatments, hair removal and lash lifts. She now knows where her skill set lies and wants to make everyone feel their best one service at a time. When she’s not in a treatment room you can find her either trying out a new baking recipe or hiking the trails of New Hampshire.

Rae Beth always knew that she enjoyed helping people. When she was first introduced to Reiki, over 10 years ago, she didn’t know how much it was going to impact her. After having many sessions on herself, she felt intrigued to learn more on her own and began her certifications. She became Reiki I and Reiki II Certified in June of 2021. While she realized that there were so many benefits for herself, she wanted to share in the energy exchange for others to better themselves. Rae Beth looks forward to sharing energy healing with her clients.

Abbey StatlerLicensed Esthetician

Abbey fell in love with Esthetics after realizing she could combine her passion for beauty with her love of helping people! Prior to beginning her Esthetics career, Abbey was a Special Education teacher. While she loved working with children and helping people through their education, she realized it was not her true passion. She decided to take a leap of faith and enroll at the Institute of Skin Science in the fall of 2022, and immediately knew she had made the right decision! Abbey loves making her clients feel pampered, relaxed, and confident. In her spare time, Abbey loves spending time with her husband Matt, and their dog Bubba. She loves to read, and is always striving to increase her skills and knowledge of the trade! She is thrilled to be a part of the Polished family!
