Congratulations on becoming a mom! How is motherhood so far?
Thank you! Motherhood has been one of my greatest adventures thus far. From the
moment my daughter was placed into my arms, my heart has been forever full. I am still
navigating this new and exciting chapter in my life. I don’t think I have been able to enjoy a nice
hot cup of coffee without interruptions, but it is all worth it. I am learning how special
motherhood truly is and that it isn’t solely based on the birth of a child, but the days, months, and
years that follow, which consist of the countless moments of joy, laughter, “firsts”, victories,
sometimes frustrations, and even tears. I think I have concluded that no matter how many books I
have read while I was pregnant, my chapter is completely different than the book and I LOVE IT.
My daughter has changed my perspective of life in so many ways and she is a big part of why I
decided to open my own business. Being able to spend time with her while chasing my dreams
has been so fulfilling.
That is so amazing! What is your professional background?
I feel I have been a nurse my whole life! At the age of 4 years old, I remember always
playing “nurse” with my older sister. It was something that humbled me and the journey
of giving back to others is unmeasurable. Prior to becoming a nurse practitioner in
aesthetics, my years of experience have been focused in New York City and Westchester
County. Most of my nursing years were spent at the bedside as a critical care nurse,
specifically the intensive care unit. Whether it was the neurosurgical intensive care unit,
surgical intensive care unit, or medical intensive care unit, I always felt a sense of
purpose and that was where I was meant to be. My passion and commitment within the
medical field has molded me into the practitioner I am today.
I never referred to nursing as a profession or a career, it truly is a privilege. It is an honor
to be able to be a part of a patient’s life story during a short moment in time. The
experiences/moments of impact that I have shared with my patients and their families has
given my life a new meaning, especially as my family continues to grow.
My passion and commitment within the medical field influenced my decision to become
a Nurse Practitioner. I specialized in Neurosurgery, which was one the greatest
experiences of my life. I learned more about myself, the specialty, and healthcare through
a completely different lens.
Though nursing is a significant part of who I am, I was ready to start a different and new
chapter in my life, which was to start my family. With that being said, we welcomed the
newest addition to our family and my vision for the future was forever changed.
Tell us about Forever Adgeless Medi Spa! What services do you offer?
Forever Adgeless Medi Spa is not your average spa, it’s more, it’s your safe place, it’s family. I
have taken my years of nursing experience and have brought it to the forefront. I feel there is a
misconception in the world of aesthetics. My vision of you goes beyond what’s found on the
outside, it is truly what is in the inside that counts. At Forever Adgeless Medi Spa, we
celebrate the uniqueness of each individual, recognizing that beauty is multifaceted in
countless ways. Services we offer are Injectables, Microneedling, Microneedling with
PRP, PRP for hair restoration, IV Therapy, and so much more to come!
Has opening up your own medi spa always been something you wanted to do?
No matter what chapter I am currently writing in my life, there are two quotes I think
about most when it comes to following my dreams, which are “dream without fear” and
“be comfortable with the uncomfortable”. I swear these quotes have guided me
throughout my entire life. By adding consistency and dedication, my dreams have
become a reality. I am often asked, why did you start this business? How can you do this
while being a new mom? What sets you apart from other spas when this is such a
saturated specialty? The answer is “ME”. It has always been a dream of mine to give
back to others and truly make a difference. We are only given seconds to make an impact
on someone’s life. The only way I could achieve how I wanted to care for others and the
way I wanted to do it was, if I opened my own business.
Throughout the years, I started to gravitate more towards aesthetics. Forever Adgeless
Medi Spa goes beyond what is visible on the outside, it’s all about what lies within.
During each visit, we are constantly peeling back the layers until we achieve everyone’s
ultimate goal, which can be about beauty or life in general. Revealing the overall beauty
in you is what pushes me to be the best version of myself daily and what drives me to
keep showing up for my patients.
What’s your favorite part of your job?
It is such a gratifying feeling to have a client leave my office and say “I feel comfortable
here and that I was just sitting down having coffee with a friend”. To me that is a victory.
Taking the time to learn every patient’s story and provide that moment of impact is what
our mission is all about. I feel “my chair” is a safe place and even a place to escape from
reality at times. I love all my patients, but being surrounded by post-partum mommas
makes me feel safe and comforted. Sometimes change is scary, especially being a new
momma. But, when you know you have a village surrounding you, these changes become
less frightening and easier to manage.
Mommas of all stages of motherhood- I see you, I hear you, and I am with you.
Aesthetics is more than just getting a treatment, it’s about relating to one another, trusting
one another, and simply feeling “so damn good” about yourself when you leave Forever
Adgeless Medi Spa.
What’s next for Forever Adgeless Medi Spa?
My mind and heart are always looking for the next best thing. I hope to expand within the
next year and offer more services. I have been networking with many female/momma
entrepreneurs and have spoken about expanding and collaborating. I am excited for
what’s in store and want to thank everyone who has supported my journey thus far,
especially my husband, beautiful daughter and my family. They are my world and I hope I continue
to make them proud. I am truly grateful and blessed. I hope to see all you GLAMMIES in
the spa real soon!
