Injectable Treatments

Dermal Clinician. Acne Specialist. Skin Experts. Palmerston North. Laser tattoo removal. Medical Aesthetics. Nurse. Injector. Beauty Therapist. Dermoscopy.

I am originally from Texas, but have called New Zealand home for over 8 years. I received my Bachelors in Nursing in the United States over 20 years ago. I continued my nursing education with a Masters in Nursing – Family Nurse Practitioner degree nearly 15 years ago.

Over the last two decades, nursing has provided invaluable experience in areas such as A&E, dermatology, remote nursing in Australia, hospice and palliative care, skin cancer and aesthetics.

I initially received my aesthetic injectables training almost 15 years ago, with ongoing training ever since. I find joy in boosting confidence and forming a trusting patient-provider relationship. My practice is patient-centered and safety first is paramount.

My goal with aesthetics is to provide a refreshed and well-rested appearance so others notice a difference, but may not be able to pinpoint what the actual change is.

I am also a certified dermoscopist for skin cancer screenings and spot checks, experienced in lesion treatment/removal and advanced laser treatments.

Outside of nursing, I enjoy cooking, running a small food business, travel and volunteering within our community.

Looking forward to treating you in clinic.
