About Me

As a palliative care and hospice nurse practitioner, I’ve spent years caring for others during some of life’s most meaningful moments. But somewhere along the way, I realized I had neglected to care for myself. After undergoing a radical hysterectomy, I faced unexpected changes. Fatigue, weight gain, low self-esteem, and a loss of balance in my body and spirit.

Seven years ago after my surgery, I began my journey with hormone replacement therapy, and it completely transformed my life and my marriage. My energy returned, my mood lifted, and I finally began to feel like myself again. Through dedication, medically assisted weight loss and mindful nutrition, I lost 44 lbs, gaining my health back, and my confidence. This journey reignited my passion for wellness, not just the absence of illness, but the presence of vitality, balance and beauty at every stage of life. Today, at Youngblood Aesthetics, I combine my medical expertise with a heartfelt mission, to empower others to understand their bodies, embrace self-care, and discover how truly beautiful and radiant they can feel, inside and out.
