The Ellena Team

Your Wellness, Our Passion. Expert Care, Personalized for You!

With over a decade of experience in healthcare; I received a master's degree in nursing from Marquette University in 2016 and completed my Nurse Practitioner schooling through St. Louis University. In addition to Family Practice, I have always had an interest in skin, aging, and the multifaceted beauty industry. I have been fortunate enough to work beside and learn from many reputable physicians, nurses, and trainers, who have shared various approaches and modalities to facial balancing, and multi-treatment combinations, all while maintaining a natural approach.

I went to Michigan State University and graduated with an Elementry Education Degree. After teaching for 4 years, I became a stay-at-home mother. During that time I created and patented a stain remover for clothes. Although this didn't go quite as planned, I decided on a new career at 40 to enter Aesthetics. I suffered from Melasma after my pregnancy and while trying to find ways to overcome this, It reminded me of my passion for getting rid of stains. Treating skin is similar to a science experiment. Everyone has different skin with unique needs. I love helping my patients match the right treatment and skincare regimen that is perfect for them and seeing the joy that it brings reminds me of why I love what I do. My favorite treatment is SkinPen with Sculptra. It's my go-to Anti-Aging. In my free time, I enjoy spending moments with my adult children, snuggling my sheepadoodle Pepper and traveling the world with my boyfriend.
