Today we’d like to introduce you to Michelle McKenney.
Hi Michelle, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My journey into esthetics is woven through every chapter of my life — the challenges I’ve faced, the work I’ve done, and the woman I’ve become. I didn’t start in the beauty industry. I started as a young woman navigating real life, real pain, and real transformation.
I am an Army veteran, and my years of service taught me discipline, resilience, and the importance of showing up even when the road feels heavy. Those experiences strengthened my belief in purpose, and they laid the foundation for how I care for others today.
As a life coach, author, motivational speaker, and mental health professional, I’ve spent years helping people heal from the inside out — guiding them through trauma, helping them rediscover their voice, and empowering them to step boldly into their journeys. I learned firsthand how deeply emotional wellness connects to how we see ourselves. That understanding became one of the driving forces behind my work.
But my story also includes my own skin battles — melasma, uneven texture, hyperpigmentation — especially after surviving cancer. I know what it feels like to not recognize yourself in the mirror. I know the emotional layers that come with wanting your skin, confidence, and identity back. These experiences didn’t break me; they refined me. They gave me compassion, intention, and a deeper purpose.
All of this led me to create Unstoppable Esthetics — a space built on luxury, healing, science, and soul. A place where skincare meets emotional wellness. A place where women feel safe, supported, and celebrated — not just for how they look, but for who they are.
Every step of my journey — the military, mental health work, coaching, writing, speaking, my healing, and my faith — shaped the esthetician and entrepreneur I am today. Unstoppable Esthetics is not just a business; it is the intersection of my experience, my purpose, and my commitment to helping others transform from the inside out.
I didn’t arrive here overnight. I arrived here through faith, resilience, and a calling to help people feel whole again. And today, I stand confidently in that purpose — ready to serve, empower, and help every client rediscover the beauty they’ve always carried within.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The honest answer is: no, it hasn’t been a smooth road. My journey has been beautiful, but it has also been layered with challenges that shaped me into the woman and entrepreneur I am today.
As an Army veteran, I faced the physical and emotional demands of service, which taught me resilience but also left me navigating life transitions that weren’t always easy. As a mental health professional, I spent years helping others heal while learning to manage my own battles silently. And as a cancer survivor, I had to rebuild my confidence, my body, and my identity one day at a time. The skin issues that came afterward — melasma, hyperpigmentation, uneven tone and texture — triggered a level of vulnerability I wasn’t used to. It reminded me that healing isn’t linear, and beauty is deeply connected to emotional wellbeing.
There were financial hardships, moments of self-doubt, times when I wasn’t sure if the vision God gave me would ever manifest. Losing support from people I expected to walk with me, starting over multiple times, and working toward my goals while carrying roles as a life coach, author, motivational speaker, student, and mother all came with their own challenges.
And entrepreneurship? It will humble you. I had to learn branding, licensing, customer service, systems, and financial discipline while still fighting through fatigue, imposter syndrome, and personal healing. There were days I questioned everything — yet something in me kept pushing.
But every struggle elevated my purpose.
My experiences gave me empathy, intention, and a deeper understanding of the women I serve. They taught me how to blend emotional wellness with luxury skincare, how to create a space where people feel seen, and how to show up authentically as both a healer and a businesswoman.
So no, the road hasn’t been smooth — but it’s been purposeful. And each obstacle became part of the foundation that built Unstoppable Esthetics. Every setback prepared me for the season I’m in now: walking fully in my assignment, aligned, grounded, and unstoppable.
As you know, we’re big fans of Unstoppable Esthetics . For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Unstoppable Esthetics is more than a skincare studio — it’s a sanctuary of healing, luxury, and transformation. I created this space with intention: to merge advanced skincare with holistic wellness so every client feels supported not only in their skin, but in their spirit.
At Unstoppable Esthetics, we specialize in results-driven, luxury facials, targeted treatments for melanin-rich and sensitized skin, holistic add-ons, and restorative experiences that honor the whole person. We use high-performing, clean, science-backed brands like KRX, Corthe, Dermathod, and Green Envee to deliver visible results while nurturing the skin barrier.
What we’re known for is our hybrid approach — blending clinical esthetics with emotional wellness. Every service is curated to offer real skin solutions paired with comfort, grounding, and care. Clients often tell me they didn’t just receive a facial — they received clarity, peace, and a reset they didn’t know they needed.
What sets us apart
What truly sets Unstoppable Esthetics apart is the heart behind the brand. I bring not only my training as a licensed esthetician, but also my background as an Army veteran, mental health professional, life coach, author, and motivational speaker.

Every treatment is intentional. Every detail in our suite — from aromatherapy to sound therapy to herbal compresses — is curated to create a luxury experience rooted in healing.

What quality or characteristic do you feel is most important to your success?
The quality that has been most important to my success is resilience anchored in purpose. My life has taught me how to stand back up, reinvent myself, and keep moving forward — not just for me, but for the people I’m called to serve.
As an Army veteran, mental health professional, life coach, and cancer survivor, I’ve learned that success isn’t about everything going right. It’s about the strength to grow through what tried to break you, the courage to trust your calling, and the discipline to show up even when the road gets heavy.
Resilience has allowed me to evolve.
Purpose has kept me aligned.
Together, they shaped Unstoppable Esthetics into what it is today.
I also believe that empathy is a quiet superpower behind my success. Being able to understand my clients on a deeper emotional level — their insecurities, their breakthroughs, their need to be seen and nurtured — allows me to create experiences that go far beyond skincare. That emotional intelligence is what transforms a service into a connection and a client into a loyal relationship.
But above all, my greatest strength is faith-driven determination. I don’t quit. I don’t fold. I listen to God’s direction, I trust the process, and I honor the assignment He placed in my hands.
Those qualities — resilience, empathy, and unshakable purpose — are what make me unstoppable.
