Meet Your Professionals 

Andrew - “Dare to dream and never stop”

Owner/President

From a young age I was intrigued by how things work. Growing up on a farm outside of Blaine Lake gave me ample opportunity to explore and discover.  From the time I was in diapers my Mother always said I was the one that gave her grey hair.  When I was very young, I would find ways to sneak out of the house to “go visit my dad in the field” (still in diapers), or climb on top of the stove in my rubber boots to see how firemen dealt with heat (all elements on high).  As I grew that desire to discover only grew.  I would take apart my toys to see how the wind-up cars would drive and how the battery would make another toy light up.  Later in life I perused my engineering degree which seemed to fall in line with wanting to know how things ticked.  After pursuing engineering, I soon discovered that my heart lead me to want to dissect the world of business, so I gave up engineering to start my first business as a real estate agent.  After a few years real estate left me feeling like I wasn’t doing enough to make a difference in to those around me, I wanted to employ people and help them grow their passions, while expanding my knowledge.  From that my second company was born, a construction company that specialized in residential framing.  In the 11 years I spent in the construction industry I had the great opportunity the be a part of some amazing builds, meet equally amazing people and staff over 20 individuals, some of which who have gone on to start their own businesses and pursue their dreams. While running my construction company I became very intrigued by my beautiful wife’s (Tara) budding business Prairie Bliss, I seen her wins and her struggles and how it was an ever-changing industry. This intrigue grew into a desire to know more and a plan to expand into what your currently know Prairie Bliss as. At Prairie Bliss I now focus on empowering the people that work with me to be able to pursue their dreams making a great future for all of us.

 Greatest adventure – My greatest adventure has been the book of my life. I enrolled at a very young age into the school of hard knocks.  I was in 4-H in my youth, their motto was “learn to do by doing”, I took that in the most literal sense and I learnt and explored as much as I could. Frequently met by the hard rule of how to not to do things, that came with head ache, heart ache, and many hospital visits.  But for all the scars and lessons learned I wouldn’t change a thing, it built my wealth of knowledge that I have today and helps me to continue to grow.

 Biggest risk – My biggest risk is my shinning star today. When I met the then single mom Tara, she blew me away. A woman with such power and glowing desire in her heart, I was hooked, even though I played coy.  We would always say “when you know, you know”, this grew into us moving to Alberta after only three months of dating.  When we found that wasn’t the right fit for us, we came back home.  On the night I decided to ask Tara to be my wife we took in a “surprise” winter solstice yoga event with over 100 participants all in encircling the center of the room, we were the inner most circle.  In this winter solstice dedication, we were to do 108 sun salutations, that in error ended up being 216 sun salutations, (this was exhausting in itself). After the yoga practice we all laid with our eyes closed on our mats, while at the center of the room a single vocalist serenaded the room.  When the room was instructed to come to a seated position but keep their eyes closed, I knelt in front of Tara with a grey velvet box tied with a silk bow. Then everyone was instructed to open their eyes to see me before them at the center of the circle.  Tara exhausted from the practice was not sure of what was happening, when she opened what she thought was an early Christmas present, she soon realized this was no Christmas present and I was asking her to marry me.  After panic set in and 15 stuttering no’s, lol, she said yes. She is now my biggest and best risk Tara Hubbard.

 Wildest wish – I wish to continue to grow my knowledge and be able to share that knowledge to empower others. I also wish to expand Prairie Bliss to a nationally recognized name that will stand for quality service, fair pricing and most importantly caring knowledgeable staff.

Tara - “Making skin glow everyday”

Founder/Owner/Skin Care Chemist & Crafter/Medical Aesthetician/Trainer

Greatest Adventure - "Traveling to the unknown on my own, and challenging myself to try something new everyday."

Biggest Risk - Retiring from Prairie Bliss to pursue my passion of skin care with Atlas Rose Skincare.

Wildest Wish - "Starting a botanical farm." 

As a prairie farm girl growing up, I was fortunate to spend my summers at the lake. While my family regularly entertained, I would often be found making concoctions with local shrubs, botanicals, dirt, moss and fresh lake water; anything I could find would be mixed into the pot. I remember naming my ‘brews’ and then returning them back to the earth with love and gratitude when they were completed... maybe this is where my love for making skincare began.  I loved being out in the elements, going on little adventures and getting dirty while seeking new plants for my next creations.  The love of creating and adventure has stayed with me driving the passion for Atlas Rose Skincare.

 I am a wife to an amazing, kindhearted man, and a mother to a beautiful, intelligent, free-spirited daughter, and my sweet kind hearted little boy. Also we have two fur babies who would gladly attach themselves to my hip until they see a squirrel at the lake.

 I enjoy a good martini, colorful healthy foods and still like to kick ass every once in a while (I kickboxed for over 10 years). My yoga practice and time with nature either camping or with my dogs, have shaped my life, given me a strong work ethic, dedication to growth and a calm and peaceful heart and mind.

 I became a certified medical aesthetician in 2004, I began the love of working on my clients who were endlessly struggling with their skin sensitivities. Also endlessly struggling with different types of acne. It became my goal to help them find sensible, eco-friendly healing solutions for their skin; less preservatives and more active ingredients that created a true difference.

 The journey of crafting quality healing skin care began. I spent many years and long nights in my kitchen crafting and researching organic and remedy based ingredients for different skin types. My clients, family and friends were willing participants in my experiments. Never tested on animals. When they seen noticeable improvement and word started spreading, I knew I was on the right path, when aestheticians and doctors started demanding classes to learn my protocol. Out of my years of experience and research I helped train and certify many different skin care professionals, aestheticians, doctors, and nurses.

In 2017 I took a step back from taking clients after many years and welcomed in my husband Andy to manage and operate Prairie Bliss Medispa. This allows us to focus on customer satisfaction and team development at the clinic. Also allows me to continue making and creating my own original formulas in the lab, researching and testing products to increase my understanding of skin.

There is nothing I love more, than be working in the laboratory listening to music, dancing like no one is watching, diffusing essential oils and creating fresh products for customers and retailers. I love that Atlas Rose Skincare makes your skin glow! Keep sending your before and after photos!!

Thanks for all your support and love... May it ripple out, and out, and out!

As Zeny perfected her list of skills, she knew it was time to add another, transitioning into the medispa world Zeny added laser hair removal and skin rejuvenation in 2017. Zeny is now looking forward to broadening her spa and medispa experience with Prairie Bliss. Come visit Zeny to experience her perfectionist hand and feel the difference.

With embracing my name, I feel that my zany side was an intention from my parents. When I’m not out on my bike exploring the city, I spend time tormenting my cats as they so often do to me.

Wildest wish - To live somewhere that is warm all year round and explore new surroundings by bike. To be in nature is where I am at home.

Two of my greatest adventures are simultaneously two of my biggest risks. In 2014 I traveled to Europe with only a backpack to explore Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, Barcelona and Lisbon.  Day one into Amsterdam I quickly came to realize that my English to Dutch translation skills we lacking, so finding my correct train to get to my Air BNB was tricky to say the least.  I ended up on the wrong train heading the wrong direction.  After 4 hours and jumping a couple trains to get back to the general area of where I was supposed to be, now I had to try and piece the final steps together from my new location. With the assistance of a lovely elderly lady and some very expensive data charged GPS, I finally made it to my destination.  Exhausted from the day’s adventures, bed was all I could think of, then the key to the door jammed, I was starting to believe today was a bad omen on the trip.  Luckily, I got better at planning my trips and the remainder of the trip was much smoother. Another memorable adventure is driving across Canada through the Prairies all the east coast packed up tight in a small car that dually acted as a bed.  On this adventure I got to see the many different landscapes of Canada taking in Niagara Falls, the land of potatoes PEI and my family roots of Nova Scotia.  The memories of both my trips make me truly proud to be a Canadian we are welcomed everywhere and we have a beautiful country.

Medical Aesthetician

I am a certified esthetician and have worked in this industry for the past six years, mainly in northern Saskatchewan.  I am passionate about this ever-evolving industry which affords me the opportunity to engage with clients and work towards their skin care goals by providing innovative skin care services.  It is a truly rewarding career in that it is a profession that builds confidence, self-esteem and relationships along the way. 

I am also passionate about sport, fitness and nutrition and work out regularly at my local gym.  I’m looking forward to the snow clearing and beach volleyball starting!  I consider myself a strong advocate of health and fitness and am working towards accreditation as a certified personal trainer.

Greatest Adventure: I decided to take my training to the next level in order to compete in the Muscle Beach Bodybuilding Competition in Edmonton in 2020.  It was my first competition and, albeit slightly terrifying, with friends and family in tow, I placed 2nd in my category.  It was an amazing journey, start to finish, and it’s something I plan to do again.

Biggest Risk: Recently, I closed a chapter in my life wherein I left behind my home, co-workers and clients that were dear to me, as well as lifelong friends.   It’s difficult leaving behind the comfort and security your life once held to face the challenges of starting new.  That being said, “the secret to a rich life is to have more beginnings than endings.”

Wildest Wish: Wanderlust! It is a big beautiful world and I want to explore every corner of it!

Sarah - “Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In my lane. Focused. Flourishing.“

Aesthetician 
(Currently on Maternity leave)

As a natural caregiver and lover of all things beauty I was naturally drawn to the world of esthetics. I’m so happy my high school cosmetology teacher encouraged me to take a chance and dive into the world of esthetics. I have grown so much in my seven years in this career and still love everything about what I get to do. 

 I am happily married to my sweet hard working husband and I love our home and our little shih tzu, almost too much! 

Greatest Adventure: My greatest adventure is my whole journey from leaving my small town for esthetics school and the ups and downs of your 20’s. I have enjoyed every day of becoming more of who I truly am. 

Biggest Risk: Leaving my comfy clientele and 6 year long position to join the Prairie Bliss team!

Wildest Wish: To find peace and joy in my everyday life. I am always on a journey to finding wellness in my life but also seeking growth. 

Kaity - “Make happiness a priority and be gentle with yourself in the process”

Aesthetician 

The beauty industry has always been a passion of mine, although it took me 10 years to decide to pursue my dream in esthetics. Throughout this journey and learning all of the different services within the world of esthetics, I found my calling, skin care. Skin care has become my passion as I love working with each individual as everyone’s skin is completely different. I not only enjoy seeing the results from the treatments performed but seeing the confidence that my clients gain from each treatment. Educating my clients about their type of skin and how to alter their home regimen to allow them to upkeep the refreshed and healthy glow everyday.

I decided to move to the big city after 27 years. I grew up with all sisters and I am the oldest of us. My initials and my nickname by lots is KTK (Kaity K - yes my parents planned this). No kids. No pets. Just a really cute, lovely boyfriend that was my next door neighbour during the hard covid times.

Greatest Adventure: deciding last minute to hop on a plane to Costa Rica for a vacation with no plan in place. 

Biggest Risk: leaving my hometown, always thought I was a lifer & deciding to start my career all over again at the age of 27. That just so happened to also be in the middle of the pandemic. 

Wildest Wish: to keep creating this life that I’m so grateful to have, even on the hard days to always enjoy a little bit of it. And to pass along as much kindness onto the world along the

Avyn - “When you feel your best everyone else can feel it too.”

Reception

I was born and raised in Saskatoon, but spent most of my younger years travelling around the states for concerts and festivals! I also spent a year living in California working for artists in the music industry, I learned so much about marketing and business during the experience, but ended up coming back to Saskatoon to be with family during the pandemic! I have 7 years of cosmetology and skincare knowledge working in a fast paced beauty boutique, as well as freelancing as an independent MUA - Making others feel comfortable and confident is my passion! 

Greatest adventure: My greatest adventure definitely would be travelling the states for concerts with my friends during my younger years, it definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone in many ways! Every single day was an adventure, and it was always so much fun being in a new city each day. 

Biggest risk: My biggest risk was my move to Los Angeles at 21 years old, it was very last minute and stressful but it was so rewarding - I gained so much life experience, and confidence! 

Wildest wish: My wildest wish would be to own an animal sanctuary, I have been vegan for over 10 years and caring for animals has always been a huge part of my journey since I was very young. I would absolutely love to rescue and care for animals in need!

Telsa -

Aesthetician 

In the past 12 years, my journey as an esthetician has been a dynamic blend of expertise and passion. Beginning with a focus on gel nails, manicures, pedicures, and full-body waxing/sugaring, I expanded my skill set to include lash/brow tints and lifts. Eager for further growth, I pursued training in facials and laser treatments, adding a holistic approach to my repertoire.

What fuels my dedication to this craft is the profound joy of building lasting connections with clients. The opportunity to share in their life events, offer a pick-me-up on challenging days, and be part of countless amazing adventures has been truly rewarding. As an esthetician, I thrive on the personal and professional fulfillment that comes from enhancing not only appearances but also the overall well-being of those I serve.Beyond my professional pursuits, my life is enriched by an active and fulfilling array of activities. You'll often find me at the gym, where I embrace physical well-being. Outdoors, I indulge in hiking, paddle boarding, camping, biking, and, come winter, skiing and long walks in the crisp air. Family holds a special place in my heart, as I enjoy spending quality time playing games and sharing moments of joy.

The love in my life extends to my four beautiful children, alongside the precious addition of two God-gifted bonus children. A particularly cherished memory is the month spent in Ecuador with my partner, creating lasting memories and exploring the beauty of new horizons together. Life, for me, is a harmonious blend of professional expertise and the joys found in the simple pleasures of family, fitness, and adventure.
