There are so many amazing, talented people at The Confidence Bar. In our "Meet the Confidence Booster" series, you'll get to know more about each practitioner and staff member - and the unique skills they bring to our practice.
How did you get your start in Aesthetics?

I caught my husband having a Botox party behind my back! It's a long story but I promise you it's worth hearing when you've got the time :)
What drew you to The Confidence Bar?
It's funny looking back, because I wasn't even sure I wanted to be an educator. When I was first offered a position at The Confidence Bar, I actually turned it down. A few months later - after working in a truly terrible plastic surgery office - I took a leap of faith and called Rana to ask if the opportunity was still open. Thankfully she said yes and I've never looked back.
Share a patient story that had an impact on how you approach patient care.
One of the most unforgettable patients I've treated was a woman with unilateral facial paralysis on the left side - the outcome of a surgery she had at 4 years old. She initially came to me for tox to help improve facial symmetry. Over time, she began to trust me and eventually agreed to try dermal filler.
When I treated the affected side, carefully restoring balance to her features, she looked in the mirror and began to cry. I panicked, thinking I had done something wrong. But then she turned to me with tears in her eyes and said "I look beautiful. Thank you so much."
In that moment, I broke down too. It changed everything for me. I realized that what we do isn't just cosmetic - it can truly restore confidence and transform how someone feels in their own skin.
What treatment is your favorite to see the before-and-after?
Full Facial Balancing - my favorite!
