Emily Simmons, 
Licensed Esthetician | Registered Nurse

I completed my esthetics training at the Charlottesville Institute of Modern Esthetics in 2025 and earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Eastern Mennonite University in 2021. My unique background allows me to combine clinical knowledge with a personalized, results-driven approach to skincare.

Why I Do What I Do

There is something incredibly rewarding about helping clients work toward their skincare goals with confidence and clarity. Creating a calming, restorative environment where clients can relax and feel cared for is at the heart of my practice.

Esthetics offers a meaningful balance to my nursing career — blending science with artistry, and results with relaxation. It allows me to support clients not only in achieving healthier skin, but also in experiencing intentional time for themselves.

A Little More About Me

I’m married to the most supportive husband — truly, he has poured nearly as much time and energy into building Valley Glow as I have. Outside of work, I’m an avid reader (always happy to talk books!). I enjoy exploring new places, thrifting, golfing, and learning new skills whenever I can!
