Hi there! I’m Leah, the owner of Illuminate Aesthetics. I want to take a minute to introduce myself and the journey that led me to Illuminate. I began my career in nursing in 2003 in the intensive care unit, and then later trained in Miami to be a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. When I stumbled into aesthetics I realized it was a great fit for me: I could use my extensive anatomy and pharmacology training as well as my finely developed needle skills, and merge them with my artistic side.  The fact that I realized this at the same time I was beginning to see the toll the years have taken on my own skin was serendipitous. I quickly went from looking for someone to inject me with wrinkle relaxers to realizing that this was something I wanted to do for others! I really enjoy helping my patients explore and understand treatment options and helping them discern what modalities are best for them and why. It is so fun and rewarding to see people feel more confident in and happy with their appearance.

            When I’m not in the operating room or doing aesthetics I love to spend time with my young son and our two Rhodesian Ridgebacks. We all enjoy being outdoors and exploring. I look forward to meeting and getting to know you as I help you navigate your aesthetic and wellness journey.
