After 19 years of customer service experience, creating beautiful smiles, I am happy to be a part of Allume Med Spa. My interest in the esthetic field stems from a desire to understand how the incredible technologies and advancements in products available today can contribute to graceful aging. I am excited to assist others in achieving their vision of self-beauty.
My lifelong passion has always been helping those around me to feel and be their best and brightening someone’s day with a simple smile or kind words.

In my leisure time, I enjoy time with my husband, daughter, and son, creating lasting memories!
I have always been passionate about the beauty industry. My love for all things beauty started as an obsession with nails, hair, and makeup. As I approached my teenage years and was beginning to experience acne, I also became obsessed with skincare. I became an esthetician because I love the artistic aspects of it and because I can help clients feel better about themselves and their appearance. Just seeing our clients' expressions after receiving a treatment is truly amazing!
My passion is to help those around me, that is why I enjoy working at Allume Med Spa. Our team truly comes together to help our clients feel and look their best.
During the weekends I enjoy sleeping and playing with my dog in beautiful Sonoma County.
I earned my Associate Degree of Science in Nursing at Pacific Union College in Angwin, CA, and my Bachelor of Science in Nursing through Capella University.
Beginning my career in the mental health department as a registered nurse, I gained an understanding of the significance of holistic self-care, physically and mentally.
Growing up, I always struggled with eczema on my face & body, which led to a negative self-image. I chose to go into the aesthetics field so that I would be able to help others feel more confident in themselves and live a happier life because I knew how it felt to not feel comfortable in my own skin.Â
I currently specialize in the medical aesthetics field, where I enjoy working with advanced laser treatments for conditions ranging from skin resurfacing and hair and tattoo removal to melasma, hyperpigmentation, acne conditions, and more. I also specialize in injections such as Botox and the enjoy art of natural looking dermal fillers.
On my free time, I love spending time with family and friends. I also love traveling! So, if I’m not at work, you can catch me on a plane!Â
Karen has been in the nursing field since 2019. She graduated from Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts and holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing.Her career as an aesthetic nurse began in 2022 at LaserAway in Marin county. Her attention to detail and understanding of patient goals allow her to offer personalized treatments that help patients feel more confident and beautiful in their own skin.
Karen is trained in a wide range of non-invasive treatments, including Botox, dermal fillers, and laser therapy. Outside of work, Karen enjoys spending time with family and friends, watching movies, shopping, and trying new restaurants and foods!
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Dominican University in San Rafael in 2016. Originally specializing in maternal and pediatric care, I have always had a deep passion for empowering women to feel their best. I believe that at the heart of excellent patient care is connection, compassion and understanding of an individual’s needs.
As an aesthetic nurse, I take pride in helping clients look and feel their best. My philosophy centers around subtle, customized treatments that enhance each individual's unique features. Trained in the latest non-surgical techniques, facial aesthetics, injectables, skin rejuvenation, and advanced skincare, I take pride in always aiming for a refreshed, youthful appearance rather than dramatic change.
Above all, I believe the best aesthetic work is subtle—where one simply appears well-rested and radiant. During my free time, I try to focus on self care (anything from lunch with my girlfriends to mani/pedis) and spending time with my husband and two daughters.
My interest in the beauty industry comes from a blend of my passion for science and my own struggles with cystic acne. Experiencing how challenging it was to feel confident in my skin inspired me to help others do the same. I completed my esthetics training at the Milan Institute of Cosmetology. As an esthetician, I’m dedicated to using evidence-based treatments to support my clients in feeling comfortable and empowered. Working at Allume Med Spa, I’m proud to be part of a team that comes together to help every client look and feel their very best!
