MEET THE OWNER

At AYU, a facial is never just a treatment.


Alexzandra Exterkamp is a certified sound healer, facial reflexologist, and the heart behind Ayu. Her approach is rooted in ancient Eastern medicine and herbalism, guided by one belief: that healing happens when the body feels safe, calm, and deeply supported.

At Ayu, she weaves together bespoke facials, sound healing, reiki, gua sha, and modern technology into an experience that treats the whole person, not just the skin.


“My intention is that every person who walks through our doors leaves feeling grounded and more connected to themselves.”

Education & Continued Training


AYU was created from the belief that beautiful skin is connected to something deeper.


While skincare is at the heart of every treatment, Alex has spent years studying techniques that go beyond traditional facials, exploring how touch, relaxation, circulation, facial massage, and holistic practices can transform not only the skin, but the entire treatment experience.


As a Licensed Facial & Skincare Specialist, Alex continues to invest in advanced education to refine her craft and bring thoughtful, evidence-informed techniques into every facial.

Her advanced training includes:

  • Facial & Skincare Specialist Certification

  • Facial Cupping Certification

  • Gua Sha Facial Fusion Training

  • Dien Chan Facial Reflexology Training

  • Sound Healing Practitioner Certification


These modalities influence many aspects of the AYU experience, from sculpting facial massage and lymphatic support to calming rituals that help clients slow down, release tension, and reconnect with themselves.


Every treatment is grounded in professional skincare expertise while drawing inspiration from practices that support relaxation, restoration, and overall well-being.


For Alex, continued education is not about collecting certifications. It's about creating a facial experience that feels intentional, deeply nurturing, and unlike anything found in a traditional spa setting.
