What is Ardea?
Ardea is a genus of herons. Heron sightings often represent the following spiritual meanings: stillness, abundance, opportunities, and harmony. Herons are known for their elegance. They walk with confidence and when they fly, their graceful wingbeats inspire awe. This is our vision for our clients- that they feel uplifted, walk with confidence and use their wings to fly!
Allison Backman RN, CEO
Hello! I'm Allison Backman, RN, BSN My mission is to ignite inspiration within others, guiding them towards the attainment of their peak physical and mental well-being. My approach is holistic, embracing the mind, body, and spirit. I believe that true health and wellness are rooted in simplicity—prioritizing essentials like ample sleep, nourishing food, pure water, fulfilling relationships, and a dedicated mind-body practice.
Aesthetics are a co-creation of art, education and vision and I love to help people feel good in the skin they are in. My goal is to inspire people and support them in how they want to manifest themself in the world.

At Ardea, our team honors and works with all of your parts to craft treatment plans that create a deeper experience and embodiment of beauty within and without.
