About Us
Let’s catch up!
First off, welcome!
I’m so glad you’re here! Serendipity is a quiet and cozy spa located in Clive, Iowa. One of my lifelong dreams was to own and operate my own business. That dream came true in 2013 and I have never been happier! I knew immediately that I wanted Serendipity to be different. I wanted more than the average spa therefore, I created an environment that prioritized not only the body, but also the mind and soul.
With that being said, we offer a variety of innovative wellness treatments including skin care services, massage therapy, manicures, pedicures, mediumship readings, spiritual advisory, reiki, and intuitive workshops. We make sure that every client that walks through our doors leaves feeling rejuvenated on not only the outside, but also the inside. Whether your goal is to combat complex skin concerns, strengthen your spirituality, or have a relaxing day at the spa, the Serendipity team will make sure your cup is filled mentally, physically, and spiritually.
Melissa Poley
Owner & Esthetician
Hi! My name is Melissa, I am the owner of Serendipity Spa & have been an Esthetician for 21 years.
I absolutely love what I do- it fills up my cup! I have always loved working with people & the beauty industry. I had a big shift in my life about 4 years ago. I started taking control of what I wanted, working on myself through reflection & empowerment & realized that beauty is so much more than what’s on the outside.
Mental, physical, & spiritual health all play a part in your overall well-being. That is why when you have a service at Serendipity Spa, I want you to leave feeling uplifted, fulfilled, & of course, glowing!
Mind – Body – Soul.
Alana Fahlenkamp
Licensed Nail Technician
When working for other employers, I always found myself wanting more. I recognized my strengths as being creative, meticulous, & passionate, so I decided to attend the nail technology program at LJIC. I never imagined I would go back to school as I am a busy mother of 3 beautiful children, Vondre, Kamari, & Taliyah. I love to travel & longed for a career where I could balance taking care of myself & my clients.
While attending the program, I fell in love with so much more than just doing nails. Your nails are one of the most important accessories you have, & keeping them healthy and beautiful is important for your overall self-representation. Whether it be long, artistic designs, or short well manicured nails, they allow us to express who we are. My top priority is to offer a clean, relaxed, & positive environment. I want my clients to leave my salon feeling as though all of their needs were well taken care of.

Hello! I’m the owner of Wholehearted Healing. By trade, I am a massage therapist, Reiki practitioner, & yoga teacher.
What started out as an education in Massage Therapy turned into my own healing journey. Through my lived & learned experiences, I have found that in cultivating a quiet & calm inner space, we can initiate the healing process & experience a sense of remembered wholeness.
Along the way, I have discovered a variety of healing modalities that have helped me cultivate a life that I love. A life full of ease, abundance, acceptance, presence, relaxation, peace, gratitude, fulfillment, & so much more.
I’m passionate about serving my community by offering my services, talents, & wisdom on the topics of yoga, bodywork, energy healing, mind-body awareness, spirituality, personal growth, & self-love.
Sara Triplett
Esthetician
Hi! I’m Sara – a mom, wife, sister, friend, educator, esthetician, and ever-aspiring good human. What started as a hobby turned into a side hustle and then into a true passion, all leading to the creation of Vibin’ Skin Spa.
The focus of my career as an educator was empowering others to advocate for themselves. I have always wanted to make people feel good and education met that goal for a long time. Over the course of that career, I also learned a lot about myself and what I needed and wanted out of life. After the birth of my daughter, a career in education no longer met those needs and wants. I had been working at a salon on the side for a few years and had really come to love getting to know people and helping them feel good in their own skin.
As a recent Iowa School of Beauty graduate, I am more ready than ever to meet new people, learn their goals, and build a relationship through it all. Vibin’ Skin Spa was established with you in mind – I look forward to sharing it with you!
