Meet Our Feel Good Therapists

Lisa Barge

Greetings and welcome to my new world!

I wanted to tell you a little about myself and my journey to The Feel Good World!  I am a small town Kansas girl who has a passion for people, community and relationships.  I grew up in a rural, farming community and appreciate the work ethic and values that I was taught there.  To maintain this connection to the land and ideals, I decided to pursue a degree in Ag Economics at Kansas State University.

After graduation, I spent the next several years traveling the country, working for John Deere in marketing and employee development.  It was during this time that I discovered my love for travel and the spa industry.  I was transferred several different places throughout the US in my time with John Deere.  Each of those moves came with different stress levels, climates, water, eating habits, etc.  I quickly realized that those changes showed up in my skin and I needed to do something about it.

So with every move, one of the first things I did was find an esthetician.  My esthetician became not only a person to help me with my skin care challenges, but also a friendly face and a place that I could take some time out for myself from the hectic corporate world I was living in.

As mentioned, I moved around a lot!  And lucky for me, of those locations was to the Pacific Northwest, where I traveled the central and western portions of Washington and Oregon.  While living here I fell in love with the NW and the man that is now my sweet husband.

I had actually been transferred back to Kansas City when Jake popped the question so I knew that a move back to the NW was in my future.  Once settled back in Oregon and after nearly 10 years in the corporate world, I felt it was time for a change in pace of life and becoming an esthetician was the natural next step.

I graduated from the Euro Institute of Skin Care where my interest in skin care quickly developed into a passion for a holistic approach to the skin and wellness.  It was a few months after graduation when I was in the working world and knew I needed to get back into a regular form of exercise.

I was always active in athletics, but as an adult I had struggled to find a form of body movement that I truly enjoyed and was excited to do.  Then I stumbled across what is now The Feel Good World.  I had not practiced hot yoga before, but it sparked my interest.  After the first class I was hooked!

A few months later I signed up for a group cleanse.  It was an experience like no other…and I can honestly say I’ve never felt better.  But the one thing I needed was a facial!  I was detoxing all of that metabolic and environmental waste through my skin, and we all know that the skin is our largest organ, but it is also one of our important detox organs.

Through this experience, I realized, what a perfect fit skin care would be at the Feel Good World.

I feel so blessed to be practicing yoga AND esthetics at the Feel Good World.  It’s been a big transition from my corporate life, but I feel as though I’ve found a whole new level of fulfillment in the work that I do now.

I look forward to meeting you, helping you with your skin care goals and giving you that opportunity for some precious “you” time.

See you soon, for a facial, mineral body wrap or a wax!!  Please contact me with any questions you may have!!

Blessings!
