About LOLA
Welcome to LOLA, your ultimate destination for holistic and Ayurvedic inspired aesthetics. With over 25 years of experience as a practicing cardiovascular nurse, as the founder, I understand the profound impact of making people be healthy and feel good. After undergoing a life altering divorce and a health scare, I embarked on a personal journey of self-discovery, delving into the realms of nutrition, lifestyle, anxiety management, and self-care.
Through incorporating practices such as meditation to combat anxiety and embracing the concept of food as medicine, this created a transformative shift in my own life. Then taking the plunge into my first aesthetic treatment (Botox), I regained confidence and witnessed a powerful connection between my physical appearance and overall well-being. At that moment, my vision for LOLA was born - an oasis where others could also experience the life enhancing benefits of feeling beautiful, amazing, and healthy. Embodying the idea of breathwork and meditation has rounded out this elixir of life. You are what you think and feel you are.
After years of dedication and professional courses, LOLA has emerged as a premier setting dedicated to promoting a sense of balance and well-being in both mind and body. My motto, "Be Balanced, Be Beautiful, Be Well" encapsulates my mission to empower others to achieve harmony on a physical and emotional level. Through the incorporation of Ayurvedic principles, which draw upon a 5000-year-old tradition of holistic medicine, LOLA it takes a truly comprehensive body, mind, spirit approach to patient care.
At LOLA, I believe in treating the whole person, not just focusing on isolated concerns. Aesthetic and therapeutic injection treatments are meticulously administered to achieve natural, looking results that enhance and balance the symmetry of the face and body. I prioritize creating the most authentic version of you, inside and out. As a skilled practitioner, I will work closely with each client to understand their unique needs and goals, guiding them toward the state of harmony and self-assurance.
At LOLA, the ultimate goal is to help you unlock your natural beauty and embrace a sense of balance in all aspects of your life. I invite you to embark on a transformative journey with me - a journey toward self discovery, self-care, and unparalleled well-being. Experience the power of holistic health and a vibrant, confident, and balanced version of yourself.
Be Balanced, Be Beautiful, Be Well.
