Marika Friesen
Owner
Marika graduated with her Spa Practitioner in 2005 and from there went to work at a few luxury spas in Vancouver. She loves working with people and making a difference in their lives by helping them look and feel their absolute best. “When you look great, you feel great!” Marika knew she always wanted to open her own spa someday and when she moved to Brandon in 2017, she got closer to that goal. She moved here with her son, Ryder, to be closer to family. They love the small-town feel of Brandon and its sense of community. Marika’s hope for when people come to Vanish is that everyone feels comfortable and at home. “We offer services that may seem intimidating, but our highly trained and knowledgeable staff is here to help answer each and every one of your questions!”
