Rachel Fleming
My name is Rachel. I am a NYS licensed esthetician
and the founder of Verity Wellness Collective.
My journey into the beauty industry began with a love for makeup, but it was my own struggles with acne and skin concerns that ultimately led me to skincare. Like many of my clients, I know what it feels like to spend time, energy, and money searching for answers while feeling frustrated by the lack of real solutions. For years, makeup felt less like a form of self-expression and more like something I relied on to hide behind.
What started as a desire to heal my own skin became a passion for helping others feel confident in theirs. My goal is not only to help improve your skin, but to help you better understand it.
I specialize in acne, barrier repair, rosacea, and customized corrective skincare treatments designed to support long-term skin health. I believe skincare should be personalized, approachable, and education focused.
Creating a warm, welcoming and supportive environment is at the heart of everything I do. I want every client who walks through my door to feel seen, heard, supported, and comfortable being exactly who they are.
I created verity with the intention of bringing together passionate beauty and wellness professionals who value honesty, intentional care, community, authentic connection, and meaningful experiences. My hope is that Verity becomes more than just a place to receive services, it becomes a place where people feel seen, heard and genuinely cared for.
When I'm not in the treatment room, you'll find me spending time with my husband and our two boys, going to my favorite gym, enjoying life outdoors, working on projects around our homestead and just enjoying life. My family is my greatest joy and the inspiration behind everything I do.
I'm grateful to do what I love, and I look forward to sharing that passion with every person who walks through Verity's doors.
Your skin.
Your goals.
Our plan.
Every facial at Verity is thoughtfully tailored to your skin's unique needs and goals. Whether you're addressing acne, sensitivity, pigmentation, signs of aging, or simply seeking time to unwind, each treatment combines results-driven techniques with a relaxing, personalized experience. No two treatments are exactly alike because no two skins are the same.
“I have been seeing Rachel for facials to work on my acne for almost 3 years now and she has absolutely changed my skin!
She is so knowledgeable about skin and I have learned so much about acne and skincare from her over the years. I always get the acne peel and a few days later my skin is glowing! Rachel is also so easy to chat with and makes you feel comfortable your whole appointment no matter what state your skin is in.”
