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.

St. Paul's Episcopal Church

It’s a night of whimsy with music inspired by games. In Mozart’s Musikalisches Würfelspiel, dice rolls from our audience will determine the structure of the piece! We’ll dust off our old, battery powered, primary colored Simon game to perform Nicole Lizée’s Simon Interlude and play selections from György Kurtág’s collection of Játékok or quite literally “games” in Hungarian. Satie’s humorous and eccentric pieces about sports were conceived for a “haute couture artist's book" while Mozart’s iconic Kegelstatt Trio was written while lawn bowling! Winsor is excited to welcome composer and soprano Kate Soper to perform her piece Chutes and Ladders, featuring text by Virgil, diary entries, Markov chains, and board game rules. The New Yorker describes Kate as "one of the great originals of her generation.”

One hundred percent of Wacoal’s donation supports Komen’s direct patient services, including the Patient Care Center, which provides access to breast health services, financial assistance, clinical trial information, and education.
Whether you’re overdue for a fitting, refreshing your top drawer, or simply looking for a meaningful way to give back, this is an easy way to do something good for yourself and your community.
Bring your daughters, friends, sisters, and neighbors. Make it a girls’ day with purpose!
