Face Boutique & Medi-Spa in Grande Prairie, AB:

Although I was not born in Grande Prairie I moved here when I was two years old, so I somewhat consider myself born and raised in Grande Prairie. My mother was a nurse, and I think through that, I learned at an early age the importance and value behind making someone feel better. Helping people came very naturally to me. I started my degree in nursing in 2003, and quickly realized it was my calling. I get such a sense of purpose interacting with my patients, making them understand their illness, their treatment and our goals. I thrived in critical care and worked as an ER Nurse for nearly 10 years. I always had a bit of an obsession with hair, make up and fashion, so, in 2014 I was lucky enough to get my feet wet in the cosmetic side of nursing. This is where I found my true passion. Working under a physician for a year at another clinic I realized that to truly embrace my vision I would have to venture out on my own. I opened GPV&C in 2016 with the help of Dr. St. Germaine. I quickly realized that patients were very receptive to my style, my aesthetic and my vision. I have been through a lot in my life, and I believe that because of that I could connect with people on so many levels. I love showing women their true beauty. Building confidence and self esteem is among my top priorities as I work. Enhancing natural beauty and restoring youthfulness is my esthetic and my motivation. I was extremely satisfied and busy at GPV&C, but I knew I could do more. This is when FACE Boutique & Medi-Spa started taking shape. All my clients had several questions, needs, desires, and I couldn’t meet them all on my own. I needed a team. I started making lists of services I needed to satisfy all my clients. I also made lists of experts I needed to help me make this happen. The evolution of GPVC to FACE Boutique & Medi-Spa happened very easily and very naturally. Today, I sit at my desk writing this and feel truly proud of what I have accomplished and what I can provide for those with questions about beauty. I have developed a team of experts to take care of every single person who walks through my door. All my experts are educated, experienced and skilled in what they do. A one-stop-shop for anything beauty of the face, seems so simple, but there really was a need for it in Grande Prairie. We all share the same vision, and that is to bring out the best version of you. My personal list of services includes: cosmetic injectables, such as Botox, Dysport and a variety of fillers. Vein assessment and treatment with sclerotherapy. Skin treatments with microneedling and chemical peels.
