Custom Skincare, Backed by Real Expertise — Boston

Kerry Spindler Bespoke Aesthetics Spa

Kerry Spindler Bespoke Aesthetics Spa is a private, results-driven skincare studio serving Winthrop and the Greater Boston area. Founded by nationally recognized beauty expert Kerry Spindler, the practice blends advanced clinical knowledge with a holistic, whole-person approach to skin health. Every treatment is fully customized. No cookie-cutter facials. No trend chasing. Just intelligent, personalized care based on what your skin actually needs. Kerry is an oncology-trained paramedical esthetician and melanoma survivor whose background in advanced skin science allows her to work confidently with all skin types, tones, and concerns — from acne, breakouts, and congestion to pigmentation, aging, texture changes, and overall skin resilience. Services include advanced corrective facials, microneedling with RF, nano needling, chemical peels, microcurrent lifting, LED light therapy, acne-focused treatments, pigmentation correction, and barrier-repair support. The spa also offers brow and lash services, facial waxing for delicate areas, and holistic support services such as Reiki and traditional herbal yoni steaming. Clients travel from Boston, Cambridge, the North Shore, and surrounding neighborhoods for Kerry’s education-first approach, precision treatments, and long-term skin strategy. This is a quiet, boutique setting designed for people who want real expertise and thoughtful care — not rushed appointments or one-size-fits-all spa menus. Appointments are by reservation only.

Life Hacks from Ancient Wisdom 
Tuesday Evening Meditation Series · Back Bay
Our mind has far more potential than we usually experience - but it’s easy to fall into familiar patterns of thinking, reacting, and relating to others.
This series offers a chance to step out of that cycle.
Each week, we’ll explore practical methods from Buddhist meditation that help us develop greater clarity, emotional balance, and a more thoughtful way of responding to life. The emphasis is simple: how to take timeless wisdom and apply it in a modern, urban setting.
Whether you’re navigating a busy schedule, relationships, or just looking for a more grounded way to move through your week, these classes offer space to pause, reflect, and reset.
Each class includes: 
• a guided breathing meditation 
• a short, practical talk 
• time to reflect and apply the ideas 
• Q&amp;A with the teacher
No experience needed. Come as you are.
