The soul, body, and mind have always been, and will always be, as one — and all are nurtured here to awaken your true glow.
Woodside Holistic is a cozy, serene sanctuary where every detail is chosen with intention. Each element of our studio reflects mindfulness and purpose.
Our in-house skincare line, hand-crafted by Kristen Blow, embodies this philosophy. Most botanicals are grown in her own garden — a legacy passed down from her grandmother — and blended to support, nourish, and restore the skin naturally.
Every experience is crafted to honour the rhythm of your mind, body, and spirit, inviting a deep sense of calm, balance, and renewal.

Kristen Blow
FOUNDER & HOLISTIC ESTHETICIAN
Kristen is the founder and guiding force behind Woodside Holistic. Her love of skincare began in childhood, inspired by her mother’s quiet rituals of self-care and grace.
Raised in the countryside, she developed a deep connection to plants and the natural world — a foundation that continues to guide her philosophy as a formulator and holistic esthetician. Influenced by her Ukrainian grandmother’s devotion to natural healing, Kristen learned early on that ritual and renewal often grow from the same roots. A forever student of the plant world, she continues to deepen her studies in herbalism and plant-based healing.
Her personal journey, including her transformative experience with sobriety, led her to study holistic and medical aesthetics, aromatherapy, lymphatic drainage, gua sha, reflexology, and Ayurvedic facial massage, training with practitioners across Canada and the U.S. At Woodside Holistic, she brings science, spirituality, and slow beauty together to create treatments and formulations that honor both the skin and the soul.
Beyond her work, Kristen finds joy in sewing, gardening, cooking, and creating meaningful connections with plants and people. Most importantly, she cherishes being a mother to her two young children, who inspire her every day.
