Not only did she become head of the CoolSculpting department, Jenny performed laser treatments, skin tightening, and medical-grade skin care. She also assisted with cosmetic and therapeutic Botox, fillers, PRP, and more. A new adventure awaited Jenny in the U.S. after she met her husband Drew. When she moved to Seattle, she worked in the home raising her children until she decided it was time to work outside the home again. She feels lucky to have met Jennifer Washburn, Founder of Advanced Skin and Body Solutions, who invited Jenny to join the team.

The best part of Jenny’s day is seeing patients get excited about treatments, feel more confident, and step into their best possible selves.
