Get to Know Your Wellness team
Mary Massa
Owner and
Master Esthetician
Owner Mary Massa became a licensed Master Esthetician in Virginia nearly a decade ago, completing 1,200 hours of esthetic training and education. She has honed her craft in a variety of professional spa settings, including hair removal spas, organic spas, and med spas, and even practiced esthetics in Guam, working with clients from all over Asia!
Mary always envisioned bringing a comprehensive menu of esthetic services to the community. In December 2022, she realized that vision by opening Emerald Wellness Spa in the Tampa Bay Area where she specializes in customized facials, full body and facial waxing, lash lifts, eyebrow laminations, and more! In her free time, Mary enjoys cuddling with her two cats and dog, indulging in all things Taylor Swift, tending to her plants, and taking a Pilates class on the weekends!
Tessa
Licensed Esthetican
Tessa is a licensed esthetician with a passion for helping others feel confident and radiant in their own skin. Born and raised in Tampa, Florida, she brings a warm, down-to-earth approach to every treatment, combining expert care with a genuine dedication to her clients’ well-being.
Her goal is to create a relaxing, personalized experience that supports both skin health and self-confidence. Outside of the spa, Tessa enjoys exploring local thrift shops, trying new sushi spots, and taking road trips. She’s also a devoted cat mom and values balance, creativity, and authenticity in all aspects of life.
Gabrielle
Licensed Esthetican
Born and raised in Minnesota, Gabrielle brings a warm, Midwestern charm and a deep love for skincare to every service she provides. Her passion for all things beauty started young — she was the girl at sleepovers who always took the longest to get ready for bed, thanks to her “extensive” skincare routine. For Gabrielle, skincare has always been more than just products; it’s a personal ritual, a moment of connection, and a way to slow down and care for the self.
Now, as a licensed esthetician, that same playful, girly magic she felt as a child lives on in her work. Gabrielle specializes in helping clients feel relaxed, radiant, and confident in their skin — blending professional expertise with a nurturing touch. When she’s not at the spa, you’ll likely find her soaking up the sun at the beach, hunting for vintage treasures, styling her space, or spending time with loved ones. She’s also a proud pet mom to her first kitten, Blu — the sweetest addition to her life this year!
Madison
Spa Coordinator
Madison’s a marketing student at Eckerd College and will be spending her summer studying abroad in Portugal. Originally from Michigan, Madison grew up helping her mom in the salon.
In her free time, you’ll find her at Pilates, line dancing, hanging at the beach, sipping coffee, catching live music, or modeling—she’s always up for something fun and creative!
Giovanna
Spa Coordinator
Raised in sunny California and having spent a few years soaking up the mountain air in Colorado, Giovanna has always loved being surrounded by natural beauty. Her outdoorsy spirit shows up in everything she does—whether it’s hiking a new trail, exploring local spots, or chasing sunshine whenever she can.
Now calling St. Pete home, she brings that same grounded, go-with-the-flow energy to Emerald as our amazing Front Desk Coordinator. She keeps us organized, on track, and always feeling supported. On Sundays, you can also catch her at Thirsty First during brunch—serving smiles and good vibes.
June
Spa-w Pup
June is more than just a pretty face—she’s a registered emotional support and service dog who brings calm, comfort, and joy to everyone who walks through our doors. As Emerald’s official greeter and resident cuddle expert, she’s always ready with a wagging tail and gentle presence to help clients feel right at home.
When June isn’t “on duty” (which usually includes lots of napping on the job), she’s living her best dog life—sprinting at full speed, digging holes, and snacking on her all-time favorite treat: apples! She also has a soft spot for pup cups from Dunkin and loves snuggling up with one of her many plush “babies” from her growing Lambchop collection.
Skin Care
Emerald Wellness Spa is proud to be a carrier of three incredible skincare brands! Avene, Cosmedix, and offers a wide variety of specialities and treatments to clients giving our costumers a customized spa and skin care experience!
