Our Team

Dedicated to the art of skincare, I have committed my career to the well-being of individuals, employing my expertise to enhance the natural beauty of both women and men. I’m passionate about the transformative power of beauty, how it boosts self-confidence, and goes beyond skin-deep to illuminate the soul. Fresh, flawless, glowing skin is my specialty, and I make it accessible by simplifying skincare for my clients.

After graduating from Elmcrest College of Applied Health Sciences and Spa Management in 1999, I dove into the clinical skincare world, collaborating with top Cosmetic Physicians in Toronto. My career kicked off as a cosmetic laser technician for LCI Lasercom, the first Canadian company to focus exclusively on Laser Hair Removal.

Between 2001 and 2012, my passion for skincare flourished while working with Dr. L. Herman and the renowned cosmetic surgeon Dr. K. Conrad. Their influence shaped my work ethic, moral principles, and unwavering commitment to hygiene and professionalism. This experience also led me to a teaching role at the Canadian Beauty College in Newmarket, where I shared my expertise in Medical Aesthetics for a year.

In 2013, I fulfilled my dream of opening an aesthetic clinic, The Derma Lounge, in the beautiful city of Aurora. At The Derma Lounge, I have had the opportunity to serve and treat clients from various parts of the city, enabling me to establish a thriving practice in a professional and welcoming environment.

Reflecting on this journey, my unwavering commitment to continuous education stands out. Staying informed about the latest in skincare is my passion, allowing me to guide individuals effectively through their unique skincare journeys. I extend heartfelt gratitude to the clients who have entrusted me with their skincare goals. I feel blessed not only for the opportunity to assist individuals but also for the referrals from satisfied clients to their friends and family.

Here’s to many more years of helping individuals achieve their skincare goals and radiate confidence. Cheers to beautiful, glowing skin within everyone’s reach!

With more than 20 years of combined experience in the fields of nursing and advanced practice nursing, I am a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), Aesthetic Nurse Injector, and Aesthetic Medical Director.

While practicing as a registered nurse, I longed for a work environment that promoted positivity and creativity. I discovered the incredibly unique field of aesthetic nursing, a career that combines my desire to do what I love—learning and discovering new things—with my clinical judgment. It’s an excellent fit!

Through my advanced knowledge, I can create more comprehensive cosmetic plans that uphold aesthetics’ safety and artistry.

My practices and skills are guided by integrity and honesty. My goal is straightforward: to give the gift of confidence and beauty to as many people as possible and ensure I can play a small role in driving that impact as an aesthetic provider. I continue learning about new techniques and treatments as the industry evolves. I love keeping up with what’s on the rise.

WILL AESTHETIC TREATMENTS MAKE ME LOOK FAKE?

I perform treatments with the intention of enhancing natural beauty. People who have had work done only look fake when it’s overdone. You likely don’t notice the people who have had tasteful work done because it’s so natural!

As an aesthetic nurse practitioner, it’s my role to provide assessment and education, not to convince you or talk you into anything. It doesn’t bother me one bit if you come into a consult appointment and end up walking out with no treatment! I’m here to show you what’s best for your needs, and at the end of the day, the decision is, of course, always and only yours.

And let me tell you, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. The goal is always to enhance or correct, soften or refresh.

HOW DO I KNOW WHAT’S BEST FOR ME?

There isn’t one way to administer or pair these treatments. Everyone is different and has different needs, so you might come in with an idea of what you want/need, and we might create a different plan for you. Be open-minded and trust that your cosmetic injector knows what they are doing, and the number of units or syringes your friend had might not make any sense for you!

Having worked in a corporate environment for several decades, I understand the importance of customer care and quality assurance.

I have committed to helping The Derma Lounge excel in their customer service experience. I foresee and manage product orders, accounting, vendor relations and overall flow and management of the clinic. We strive to ensure that all clients are happy and satisfied with their services and products here at The Derma Lounge.
