The Team
Kirstin Belken
Kirstin decided to do something independently after working at a med spa in town. In 2016 she started Kissed Peach with four clients and a dream. “I want to ensure that your experience is always a five-star one, and to do so, I have built a wonderful team of caring professionals.” Kirstin has been working as a licensed esthetician since 2015, became a registered nurse in 2021, and acquired an advanced laser tech certificate in 2024. Her favorite part of being an aesthetics provider is that she enjoys treating the whole person and solving problems. She still enjoys giving top-level services and exceeding customer service expectations. When Kirstin is not at the studio, she can be found at home with her husband Ryan, their two children, and pets. She enjoys gardening, traveling, and spending time with the chickens and goats on their acreage.

Ella Husar
Esthetician
I’m a licensed esthetician and received my license in October 2025. I’m really passionate about helping people feel comfortable, relaxed, and confident in their skin—whether it’s for a facial or a wax.
Skincare is really personal to me. I struggled with my own skin at one point, and I know how life-changing it feels when you start feeling confident in your own skin. That’s what inspired me to get into esthetics and want to help others experience that same feeling. I love being able to support people in reaching their skin goals—whether that’s aging concerns, acne, or just wanting healthier skin overall.
When I’m not in the treatment room, I’m usually with my boyfriend Ben or hanging out with my family. I love reading romance and fantasy books, and I’m a big Bravo fan and love a good Real Housewives binge.
Maggie Flanagan
Esthetician
Born and raised in Des Moines, I began my journey with a foundation built on dedication and growth, graduating high school through Options Academy before pursuing my passion for skincare at Iowa School of Beauty, where I earned my esthetics license. Alongside skincare, I hold a strong passion for mental health and creating an environment where every client feels cared for, understood, and empowered in their own skin. Outside of the treatment room, I enjoy exploring new restaurants, spending meaningful time with friends and family, and unwinding at home with my cats.
Samantha Tonelli
Administrative Assistant
A lifelong service industry professional turned charcuterie business owner, I pride myself on anticipating needs, elevating experiences, and making everything feel seamless, whether through organization, creativity, or supporting the team behind the scenes.
Outside of work, I’m a proud dog mom to my two boys, Benny and Quincy, and enjoy spending time with my fiancé, Tom, decorating our new home, and making memories with family and friends.
When I’m off the clock, you’ll usually find me enjoying motorcycle rides, exploring thrift stores for hidden treasures, playing softball, relaxing on a sunny patio, or creating the perfect charcuterie spread for any occasion.
Fueled by creativity, connection, and a love for all things peachy, I’m passionate about making sure every detail is thoughtfully handled and every client feels welcomed, confident, and glowing at The Kissed Peach.
Donna Sanchez
Brand Manager
I’m the creative vision behind The Kissed Peach’s brand identity and marketing strategy. With nearly a decade of experience helping businesses across industries build impactful strategies and engaging content, I now channel that expertise into elevating The Kissed Peach’s voice through social media, newsletters, and brand communications. My goal is to ensure every message reflects confidence, care, and radiance.
Guided by my philosophy, “Dare to be seen through your art,” I approach brand management as both strategy and artistry, blending storytelling, creativity, and community engagement to create meaningful connections with clients.
Beyond marketing, I’m a passionate artist with experience in sculpture, painting, digital design, and tattoo artistry. In 2020, I worked as a Junior Art Instructor, and I continue to see both teaching and content creation as extensions of my creative expression.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my six dogs and parrot, exploring nature with my husband Dayvid, and finding inspiration in everyday moments that fuel both my creativity and passion for connection.
