Our Story

Owner, Bobbi Westra

In 2000, I started Heart Lights as a soy wax candle company; by 2003 I added natural bath and body products. In 2009, I discontinued making candles and slowed down making products until 2015: went back to school for cosmetology in 2016 and the school I attended allowed me to utilize the products I made on school salon clients. The school also purchased products to sell and my company supplied their backbar. In January 2020, I started school for massage therapy, and currently hold a South Dakota Massage Therapy License.

Fate inspired the next chapter in my life, I was working in South Dakota and had a client from Pipestone, MN tell me about a suite available. In January 2021, I opened my own business in Pipestone, MN. By March 2021, I added a salon license to my suite style salon. In April 2023, we moved to our current location at the Wellness Square. I went from 140 Sq. Ft to 863 Sq. Ft. I have this beautiful space my family and friends helped paint and decorate.

I offer all services; Hair, Skincare, Pedicure, Manicure, Waxing, Ionic Foot Detox, Massage, Couples Massage (with another Massage Therapist), and Eyelash Extensions by my renter Kyla Emmert Instagram @lashesbykyla.777

Every month I make a fresh batch of massage cream with different ingredients. My philosophy is since I am massaging your body, why not add nutrients to your skin?

We are now offering a full line of Heart Lights products; current products are a Soothing Eye Cream, Body Scrub, Body lotion, and Lip Butter.

Education

I keep learning new to help you feel better.

No one is a one-size-fit all for massage, skincare, or hair. Luckily in Minnesota for my Cosmetology and Advance Practice Esthetician license I am required to take continued education. For my license in South Dakota Massage and my massage liability insurance, continued education is required. Even if it wasn’t required, I enjoy learning something new in my career and would still keep learning new.
