The Face Behind the Grace

I’m Ashley Dryer, RN, BSN. And I’m over the "frilly" spa industry.

I’ve spent 14 years in the trenches of nursing—from the adrenaline of the night shift to the high-pressure environment of correctional healthcare. I’ve seen what "survival mode" looks like, and I know that true care isn’t about filing insurance claims or checking boxes. It’s about the person standing in front of you.

I founded Olive & Grace Aesthetics Co. to be the antithesis of the modern med spa. I was tired of the intimidating, judgmental atmospheres and the "beauty factories" that feel more like a sales pitch than a sanctuary.

Expertise Forged in Grit.

My background isn’t in "sparkle"; it’s in clinical precision. When you sit in my chair, you’re getting over a decade of medical experience and a creative eye that values substance over perfection. I’m not here to "fix" you based on a filtered Instagram trend. I’m here to listen to what you care about and provide the structural maintenance and metabolic support to help you feel like yourself again.

The Year of Audacity

As a former single mom who fought hard to build this life, I don’t have time for fake. My 2026 mantra is Audacity—the bold act of reclaiming your confidence and prioritizing your wellness without apology. This is the heart of my business and the focus of my series, "Audacity Talks," where we strip away the industry filters and talk raw about skin, health, and resilience.

Beyond the Clinic

When I’m not at the spa or in the unit, I’m recharging with my rescue Cane Corso, Ember- also forged from fire from her previous family. I’ve finally found a life that is well-rounded and beautiful, and my mission is to help you find that same sense of restored confidence.

No judgment. No noise. Just restorative care for the real you.
