Who am i

Professionally….

I am a Registered Nurse living in my adoptive hometown of Calgary. I graduated from the University of Calgary with a Bachelor of Nursing with Distinction in 2007. I first worked in the ICU before moving into oncology.

I trained as an injector for over a year, completing a training program at a local medi-spa, but found that more training was necessary to become a confident and safe injector. In 2022, I pursued an accredited program with the Canadian Board of Aesthetic Medicine and received certificates in advanced injections, medical-grade skin care, PRP & laser treatments. This program allowed for multiple days of hands-on training under the guidance of experienced nurses and physicians.

I am also a Legal Nurse Consultant, contracted by lawyers when they need to determine standards of care as it relates to their client’s injury. This is very interesting and rewarding work when I can help a client that was wrongfully injured by a nurse. This motivates me to keep my nursing practice up to date and practice within my scope and safety standards. This means I may have to turn down a cosmetic treatment if it’s deemed unsafe or the risk outweighs the benefit, but know this is in your best interest.

My dream is to provide injections in a comfortable space that is convenient for you and not at all intimidating. My practice is evidence based with your goals in mind. I can provide you with education and advice, but I will never upsell you to receive something outside of your goals. I am upfront about the treatment limitations and am happy to provide insight into other cosmetic treatments offered in Calgary such as filler, laser, chemical peels, and PRP/PRF. In-person or video call consultations are always free, as are touch-ups after your treatment. I officially opened for business in October 2023. 

Personally…

At home, I have my hands full with two beautiful girls and an elderly Labrador retriever. My dog’s name is Sophie and she is likely to greet you at the door, but she can also hide if you are uncomfortable or allergic to dogs.

I was lucky to marry my University love turned Firefighter - check out Mr. October in the 2024 Hot Stuff Calendar! You will likely not see him, but if you do, your secret is safe. Your privacy is of upmost importance.

On days off, you can find me sipping coffee and reading in my favourite vintage rocker. Otherwise,  I’m at the climbing gym or yoga studio, lifting, rollerblading, mountain biking, and dancing in the kitchen. I enjoy a vegetarian lifestyle along with all the benefits of functional movement and mindfulness.
