Megan is a Board Certified Nurse Practitioner, based out of Arlington Virginia, and grew up in the area as well. She received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree, in 2010 from James Madison University. After working for several years in Intensive Care and home health nursing, she decided to make the switch to aesthetic medicine in 2015, as well as continue her education as a nurse practitioner. She graduated from The George Washington University, in 2018 with a Master of Science in Nursing degree, as an Adult-Geriatric Nurse Practitioner. She is a member of the Sigma Theta Tau- International Nursing Honor Society, and Golden Key International Honor Society, and the American Association of Nurse Practitioners.
She began her career in aesthetic medicine as a nurse injection specialist, becoming certified in advanced aesthetic injection techniques. She makes training and continuing education a priority. By training consistently and attending aesthetic conferences each year, she stays on the cutting edge of aesthetic medicine. She founded NM Aesthetics | Wellness in 2018 to use her passion and joy of aesthetic medicine to enhance the lives of others.
Her business is a “patient first” model, meaning that Megan’s priority is to provide a comfortable, easy going experience without pressure to do more or spend more than what is needed to achieve the desired result. Unlike the typical MedSpa visit, Megan’s goal is to give her clients a more personal experience. She aspires to not only hear her patient’s aesthetic goals, but to personally take part in the development of a plan that will safely and ethically provide the best possible result.
Megan also plays an active role in the advancement of the aesthetics field. She is an exclusive Fern Trainer for U.S. trainings with the Tom van Eijk Academy, a National GAIN Trainer with Galderma, and a MERZ Max Studio Pop-Up Trainer. In addition, she is a speaker for Cartessa Aesthetics, and provides personalized private trainings. She is a clinical preceptor for The George Washington University and mentors local high school students interested in pursuing careers in medicine. With a passion for aesthetic medicine, Megan loves to share her knowledge and experience with other providers.
While Megan prides herself in her work ethic and self owned business, she enjoys free time with her husband, and their two kids Palmer and Declan, as well as time with family friends and their two cats. Megan is excited by the opportunity to help others feel their best, but her heart and passion is in living a health conscious life. When she’s not working with patients, you can usually find the plant mom at Whole Foods, Orange Theory, Pilates, hiking, or Echostage- working on her inner and outer health. Looking and feeling good is the mission, and that same drive is what inspired her business model. Megan is dedicated to giving patients a personalized and professional experience where they can walk away feeling fulfilled and like the best version of themselves.
