My path in medicine has been a convoluted one. From U.S. Naval flight surgery in the Persian Gulf, to medical training at Harvard, to anesthesia in Miami, one thing has remained constant: my ardor for aesthetics and beauty. My course in medicine has always been procedurally based, so aesthetics follows naturally. I began as a medispa patient in my mid-20s and always wanted to open my own spa. Mentors advised me that my talents “would be wasted” in a med spa, but I came to realize that my talents would only be amplified by my passion—a passion for aesthetics. As such, Gilded Palm came to be.
An Austin native, I'm now happy to call San Antonio my home. It was through my experience as a pediatric Registered Nurse during the pandemic that I realized the importance of following your aspirations and not taking life for granted, so I took a leap into my dream: aesthetic medicine. My passion is helping others. By aiding individuals in achieving their personal aesthetic goals, I help them gain confidence, contentment and self-fulfillment. I believe everyone deserves to have a gilded glow—to look and feel young and beautiful on the inside and out.
At Gilded Palm Aesthetic Spa we strive to provide a lavish, relaxing space where clientele can enjoy life and retreat from life’s stressors while becoming their best selves. Because sometimes inner beauty just begins at the surface.
Having lived all over Texas with my husband and daughter, we have called Boerne home since 2014. I have always loved cosmetics and skincare and believe anything is possible with coffee, mascara and some lip gloss! My passion for providing exceptional customer service and helping people feel beautiful led me to Gilded Palm. The best part of my job is the relationships we build with our clients and local community. I live by the theory that if you treat everyone like family, they will keep coming back!
