Get to know our talented team below — we’re so glad you’re here.
Jade Stone – Founder of Ritual
Certified Spa Therapist | Esthetician | Lash Technician | Yoga Teacher | Reiki Practitioner
Jade is a Certified Spa Therapist, Esthetician, Lash Technician, Yoga Teacher, and Reiki Practitioner with over a decade of experience in the beauty and wellness industry. She earned her Spa Therapy diploma from New Image College in Vancouver in 2015 and has continued to deepen her craft through advanced training in Ayurvedic Head Massage, Buccal Facial Massage, Facial Reflexology, Reiki, and advanced lash styling techniques.
​
Her passion lies in combining science, soul, and ritual to create treatments that nourish not only the skin but the nervous system and spirit as well. Whether she’s offering a sculpting facial massage, Reiki energy work, or a detailed set of lashes, Jade’s approach is intentional, grounded, and deeply client-focused.
After years of working on the mainland, Jade felt called to return to Vancouver Island — the place where she was raised — to bring her vision of Ritual to life. Her mission is twofold:
• To create a collective space where like-minded practitioners can collaborate, grow, and support one another
• To offer a nurturing sanctuary where clients feel cared for, honoured, and truly seen
​
When she’s not at the spa, you’ll find Jade immersed in her own healing rituals — practicing yoga, backpacking in the mountains with her husband and their adventurous chihuahua Nala, enjoying contrast therapy with hot and cold plunges, or spending quiet time in nature to recharge and reflect.

Holly Heffernan
Senior Beauty Therapist & Lash Technician
Holly is a certified Lash Artist with over four years of experience in the beauty industry. She specializes in mega volume, full volume, wispy, and color lash sets — creating custom looks that highlight and enhance each client’s natural beauty.
​
Known for her precision and creativity, Holly takes pride in delivering high-quality, long-lasting results in a calm and welcoming environment. She’s passionate about helping her clients feel confident and cared for with every visit.

​
Originally from Ontario, she’s called Vancouver Island home since 2015. Outside of the studio, you’ll find her hiking the local trails, lifting weights at the gym, watching movies with friends, or dreaming up her next travel destination.

Osha Wilkes
Junior Lash, Brow & PMU Artist
Osha is our Junior Stylist and resident beauty enthusiast — specializing in lashes, brows, and lip blush. With two years of hands-on experience, she’s all about creating customized lash sets that flatter your features and fit your vibe. Wispy and wet-look styles are her fave, but she’s got a creative eye for anything from soft and natural to bold and textured.​
​
In addition to lash extensions, Osha offers lash lifts, brow shaping + tinting, and lip blushing — a semi-permanent tattoo that gives your lips a natural tint and soft definition (think: your lips, but better).
​
As she continues to grow her clientele, Osha’s prices are currently lower than our senior artists — which means you get high-quality results and a little bonus for your beauty budget. Win-win!
​
Born and raised on Vancouver Island, Osha makes the scenic commute from Port Renfrew, where she lives with her adorable Australian Shepherd (who is basically her soulmate). When she’s not at Ritual, she’s probably surfing, beachcombing, or dreaming about her next big adventure. Got a travel spot she have to see? Tell her at your next appointment!

Kayla Joseph
Senior Beauty Therapist & Lash Technician
Kayla is a certified Esthetician with over five years of experience, specializing in customized lash extensions that range from soft and natural classics to bold, full-volume megas. She’s deeply passionate about creating a calm, comfortable space where her clients feel cared for, seen, and totally themselves.
​
Her goal? To craft high-end, tailored lash sets that enhance your natural features and suit your lifestyle — all while giving you an hour (or two) to truly relax.
Born and raised here on Vancouver Island, Kayla is a proud cat mom to two amazing kitties (trust us, you’ll hear all about them). She’s also newly engaged to her wonderful fiancé of eight years — wedding ideas are always welcome, so feel free to share your planning tips!
​
When she’s not lashing, Kayla is always trying out new hobbies… though she’ll be the first to admit she rarely sticks to just one. Got a fun suggestion? She’s all ears!
​
“I’m so excited to meet you and be your full-time lash artist (and part-time therapist).”
— Love, Kayla

Ema Perkins
Nail Tech
Ema is a certified Nail Technician — though we like to call her a Nail Artist (because, have you seen her nails?). Trained at Blanche Macdonald in Vancouver, she specializes in all things gel, combining creativity, precision, and serious attention to detail.
​
With a background in mixed media art, Ema treats every nail set like a tiny canvas. Whether you’re after something simple and sleek or bold and out-of-the-box, she’s always down to bring your vision to life. She’s passionate about helping you take a break from the chaos of everyday life — and maybe leave with a little extra sparkle, inside and out.
​
She’s also your ultimate hype girl and always here for the update on your latest tea. You’ll leave her chair feeling fabulous, inside jokes included.
​
Outside the studio, Ema’s usually snuggled up with her two fur babies, Bella and Gracie — or someone else’s, because she’s also a part-time pet sitter (I mean, how could she not be?). When she’s not doting on animals, you’ll find her curled up with a needlepoint project and a good playlist, because her love for tiny, detailed art knows no bounds.

​
Based in Qw’utsun’ (Duncan), Kimberly proudly welcomes clients of all identities and backgrounds, holding inclusivity and mindfulness at the heart of her practice.
​
When she's not behind the nail desk, you'll often find her exploring creative projects, playing in the garden, sewing, spending time with her husband and son, and loving on her two sweet kitties.
