ARTIKA RAM

Meet Artika: the mastermind behind Aqua Soul Med Spa, a two-location empire, and a woman who likely has more caffeine than blood in her system. With 17 years in the aesthetics industry—11 of those mastering medical aesthetics—Artika has spent nearly two decades perfecting skin. While she once dreamed of being a dermatologist, life took a detour, and she’s now a multi-award-winning solo business owner, recently recognized with a Business Excellence Award for Personal and Wellness Services. When she isn’t at the spa or consulting, you can find her: In the Kitchen: Whipping up five-star meals and baked treats for her "loves"—her husband and her two precious boys (who are her world). On Dog Duty: Serving as the dedicated personal assistant to her dog, Snoopy. In the Community: Whether she’s cooking for the homeless or chatting with seniors, Artika believes a beautiful life is built on service. She’s a firm believer that while she might not have "MD" after her name, she’s a surgeon with a spatula and a wizard with a laser.
