About

As a veteran ER nurse of nearly 20 years, I was burnt out and looking for a change. I wanted control of my time for the benefit of my family and my mental health. The idea of this seemed like a dream. 

I knew nothing about aesthetics when I apprehensively decided to pursue it. Alongside my continued work as a SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) for Polk Co since 2016, the next 4 years working part time at 2 different MedSpas propelled me excitedly into a completely different career path allowing me to retire my career in the ER in 2022.

I have to admit, I was not prepared for the impact this new role would have on me. I worried I wouldn't feel I was still "taking care" of patients as I had in the ER. Man was I wrong! To educate, listen, goal plan, and execute treatments that leave my clients feeling more confident in their own skin and when they look in the mirror is extremely humbling. Helping someone with their self confidence that can be life changing for them, is hard to put into words.  

In September of 2023 I opened my own business called evolve(d) aesthetic. Although this was not in my plans, I am a true believer that things happen for a reason. A peer / colleague who recently went independent as well wrote these words rang so true for me; "over the years I have realized that my personality and what I stand for flourish most in autonomy". 

I am so grateful for all of my family, friends, and clients for believing in me and standing by me. In a very competitive industry, I believe I will have continued success as I stay true to my value of putting patients over profits. 

I chose the name to reflect that I am always a work in progress in all aspects of my life. To acknowledge where I’ve been, where I am, and where I am going and how each chapter plays a very important role. We can not learn and grow and achieve successes if we are not willing to try and fail repeatedly. Every failure is just an opportunity to try again.

evolve - develop gradually; to come forth gradually into being evolve (d) - past tense 

aesthetic - having a sense of the beautiful; characterized by a love of beauty.

relating to the science of aesthetics; concerned with the study of the mind and emotions in relation to the sense of beauty.

 Thank you for being part of my journey. I am excited to see what the future brings. 

Love, 

Renee
