As our Lead Nurse Practitioner, educator, and mentor, Crystal sets the tone for everything we do, upholding the importance of safety, artistry, and empowerment in every treatment. 

Crystal’s career began in critical care nursing at the University of New Brunswick, specializing in surgical and cardiovascular ICU care. In 2012, she relocated to Edmonton to continue her critical care work at the University of Alberta Hospital, where she led Code Blue and Rapid Assessment Teams. 

After earning her Master of Nursing in the Nurse Practitioner all ages stream from the University of Alberta in 2015, she transitioned into family practice and women’s health, working closely with vulnerable populations and contributing to programs such as the New Canadian refugee initiative. 

In 2017, Crystal discovered her passion for aesthetics. Since then, she’s become a full-time practitioner, speaker, and clinical trainer, sharing her expertise with colleagues across Canada.  

Whether she’s creating natural, confidence-boosting results for clients or training the next generation of injectors, Crystal’s mission is the same: to help people feel their most empowered, authentic selves. 

Registered Nurse & Advanced Aesthetic Injector – 

Neuromodulator Specialist 

Sarena is our precision-driven aesthetic injector, known for her gentle technique, deep product knowledge, and results that look beautifully natural. With a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from MacEwan University in 2017, she began her career in public health nursing, building a strong foundation in client care, education, and health promotion. 

Her passion for aesthetics was inspired by her own experiences with skincare challenges, including eczema and dry skin, along with a lifelong interest in skincare, makeup, and wellness. After completing Basic and Advanced Neuromodulator and Dermal Filler certification through the Canadian Association of Medical Aesthetics (CAMA), Sarena invested in further cadaver-based anatomy training, clinical shadowing, mentorship, and hands-on clinical work. 

Neuromodulators are one of Sarena’s favourite treatments to offer, whether for softening fine lines, treating TMJ and headaches, improving skin texture, or reducing sweating. She is an active member of the Canadian Society of Aesthetic Specialty Nurses (CSASN) and continues to expand her expertise under the mentorship of Nurse Practitioner Crystal Jacob. 

Sarena’s approach to aesthetics is rooted in precision, integrity, and a deep respect for her clients’ goals. With Sarena, clients can expect a personalized, safe, and empowering treatment experience.
