About The Mansion
Set within a meticulously restored 1916 estate, The Mansion delivers an immersive wellness experience unlike anything in the Midwest—where modern treatments meet timeless beauty, and every detail is curated with purpose.
Where Legacy Meets Luxury
Founded by industry veteran Debra K. Menke—whose three decades of leadership in aesthetics, advanced skincare, and medical wellness have shaped national brands and trained professionals across the country—The Mansion was created to merge clinical expertise with soulful, highly personalized care.
Together with her daughter Cori Olson, LE—celebrated for her advanced techniques, transformative results, and intuitive approach—they have designed a destination where science and ritual live in perfect harmony.
A Sensory Experience Like No Other
Every element at The Mansion has been composed like a symphony for the senses. The Maison de L’Âme signature scent lingers softly in the air. Warm towel aromatherapy greets every guest. Sunday Citizen robes and throws wrap the body in comfort, while bespoke soundscapes slow the rhythm of the day.
