Get to know more about Courtney’s journey and what makes her approach to aesthetics so special.
Q: What drew you to the aesthetics field?
I’ve always been a skincare girlie—constantly learning and researching what was new and exciting in the aesthetic world. Even before I became a nurse, I knew this was something I wanted to do one day. I feel so lucky that I took the leap and turned that dream into a reality.
Q: How has your emergency room background helped you as an injector?
My ER experience taught me how to stay calm under pressure, assess patients quickly, and always prioritize safety. That same mindset helps me every day as a nurse injector. I understand facial anatomy deeply and I approach each treatment with both medical expertise and artistic precision.
Q: What’s the most rewarding part of being a nurse injector?
Hands down—seeing my patients achieve their desired results and gain a new sense of confidence. Whether it’s subtle or transformative, that feeling never gets old. Knowing I helped someone feel more like themselves or even better, that’s the best part.
Q: What’s a common myth about injectables you’d love to clear up?
People often think they’ll end up looking “frozen” or “overdone.” Thanks to social media and some celebrities who may have gone a little too far, there’s this misconception that injectables dramatically change your face. But in reality, the best results are undetectable. My goal is always to enhance, not alter. You should still look like you—just more refreshed.
Q: How do you stay up to date with techniques and trends?
I’m a total nerd when it comes to aesthetics! I’m constantly learning, whether it’s through in-person trainings, virtual courses, or hands-on practice. This field is always evolving, and I love being a part of that evolution.
Q: What do you want clients to feel when they work with you?
Heard and understood. I always listen more than I speak during a consultation. It’s important to me that patients feel safe, informed, and empowered to make decisions about their treatment. I want them to leave not only looking their best, but feeling completely confident about their care.
