Heidi Olden found her place in the spa industry over ten years ago. Drawing on her years of experience as an esthetician she has created a unique selection of effective skincare treatments and hair removal options for you to experience at Urban Calm.

Heidi's extensive resume includes her employment at The Four Seasons Resort Aviara where she was able to utilize her skills in their highly acclaimed spa, now listed among the top twenty spas in the world. Heidi has worked at several other high end salons and day spas in California and Connecticut and has also offered medical skincare in a cosmetic surgeon's office.

After receiving her education and obtaining her California esthetician's license, Heidi relocated to the East Coast and continued her studies at New York's Dermal Institute. Heidi opened her first skin and body care studio, Zenobia Wellness Spa, in 2001 with the goal of offering her clients treatments that would address their individual skincare needs.

Heidi's fascination with the ancient art of aromatherapy and search for a natural and effective product line led her to Enessa, an aromatherapy skincare line formulated by world-renowned esthetician Michelle Ornstein. Over the years Heidi has been mentored by Ornstein and is now proud to feature the Enessa line of products at Urban Calm.

Always interested in giving her clients the best treatments available Heidi has also mastered the art of threading, an ancient hair removal technique that has been a celebrity secret for the past few years and is now becoming popular beyond the boundaries of New York City and Los Angeles. Trained by Ornstein (who performs threading on many celebrities such as Cher, Salma Hayek and Michelle Branch) Heidi is proud to be among only a handful of estheticians offering this service in San Diego.

Combining her extensive training, years of experience, unique touch and outstanding products, Heidi brings you a new spa sanctuary, Urban Calm. Heidi aspires to deliver the best client experience possible and offers her products and therapies based on her belief in purity, a profound state of relaxation, and the restoration of a state of just being, a sense of calm.
