Leanne, co-founder of Alise Frederic Salon and Spa, understands that great skin does not come easily to everyone and she never takes a one-size-fits-all approach to skincare. She has been a licensed esthetician since 2006 in Winnipeg, Manitoba and has become one of the city's most trusted estheticians.

Driven by her passion for the skincare industry, Leanne has always made continuing her education a priority. She's helped her clients learn how to control their skin's issues through treatments and proper skincare recommendations. Her ability to treat a wide range of skin care conditions while complementing her clients' existing skin regimes through custom treatments and enhanced home-care regimes, makes her a valuable asset to her clients.

One of Leanne's passions is helping other women build their businesses. Helping her employees at Alise Frederic with their personal and business growth, has become an essential part of her career as a business owner. Helping her colleagues within the industry by providing private classes, sharing techniques and speaking at workshops are also things she prides herself on. Leanne believes in the value of mentoring.

"Having someone we can reach out to for advice, guidance and encouragement and who we know will be genuinely happy for our acomplishments is significant when you're building your business. The more we as women build each other up, the better of a community of strong leaders we will have to fall back on. What you put into the universe will always come back to you. 'Helping one person can't change the world, but it could change the world for one person.' - I take that approach in all areas of my life whether big or small, personally or proffessionally."

Some of Leanne's acheivements and atributes include:

- 2017/2018 Image Skincare's Esthetician of the Year (Manitoba)

- Guest Speaker at Makeup / Skincare Workshops
