GlowDerma Medical Aesthetics is a skin and body care clinic that offers a balanced approach of medical and holistic care to support your skin and beauty goals.
We are an inspired collective of women brought together with the shared vision of enhancing the natural, real beauty in each individual we work with. As women, we have all felt the incessant, unrelenting pressure from mainstream media to look a certain way, and are made to feel less beautiful than we truly are. We have all looked in the mirror at some point in our lives and have felt unworthy, or dare we say, even ugly. Sadly, the standard for beauty has been set by capitalists, and not by health experts. The standard of being a specific size, colour, and age is not realistic or attainable by 99.5% of the population, at least not in a sustainable or healthy fashion. We can recognize the radiance in each individual regardless of age, health condition, ethnic background, or body size. We recognize the wonderful characteristics that make each and every one of you unique.
The ‘Tossed Salad’ approach recognizes that different cultures are brought together, like salad ingredients, and they all bring a unique and distinct contribution to the salad. Similarly, we feel that different people, of different sizes, shapes and backgrounds, are unique in their contribution to beauty, not making any one group or standard superior to the others.
There has been a movement in recent years to not only recognize the beautiful differences in each of us, but to also celebrate the characteristics that make us unique. Here at GlowDerma, we are all proud to say that we are a part of this movement, and we want to support you and celebrate you for the beautiful person you are, and for the light that shines from within you.
We believe that true beauty stems from within and resonates outwards. It is fully expressed when you are living your best vibrant and healthy life. Our mission is to support and empower our community members on their individual journey of looking, feeling and being well.
To get the radiant glow that you desire, the key is in understanding your unique skin care needs. We customize our treatments to your skincare experience and goals.
With the right combination of healthy habits, environment, and medical support, you can achieve a glowing, radiant look, no matter where you’re starting.
Nobody else in this world has your skinprint. What makes you glow is who you are on the inside. We are here to help your inner beauty shine outward.
Let’s work together to slow down the effects of aging, sooner than later.

I was born & raised on the East Coast in beautiful St. John’s, Newfoundland. I have dedicated myself to connecting whole body health awareness principles that touch every cell in our body. I am a registered dietitian, certified yoga, pilates & ayurveda teacher and an aesthetician. I love life long learning for how whole body health is always working together. In my practice, I guide you to discover the importance of inner awareness in order to intuitively and effectively manage how stress affects our body. As a mother of 4, putting myself first is not often a part of the equation. However, I believe when we invite ourselves to be present in the moment, our desire to feel radiance from the inside out becomes a priority.
