Lexi
Nurse Injector
With over 20 years of nursing experience, I bring a wealth of clinical knowledge and a genuine passion for client centred care to medical aesthetics. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Biology, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, and a Master of Nursing degree as a Nurse Practitioner (NP).
My passion for skincare has been shaped by my own personal journey with acne. Having experienced firsthand the impact that skin concerns can have on confidence and self-esteem, I developed a genuine interest in skin health, skincare, and the role that evidence-based treatments can play in helping people feel comfortable in their own skin.
I believe the best aesthetic results are those that enhance rather than change. My goal is to combine my extensive nursing experience, medical knowledge, and passion for aesthetics to help you look refreshed, feel confident, and embrace your natural beauty. I truly value building meaningful relationships and providing thoughtful, individualized care to every client.
Danielle Mlinartisch
Nurse Injector
MN, FNP, NP(F)
I bring over two decades of advanced nursing and nurse practitioner experience to Skin Secrets, blending exceptional clinical expertise with a refined aesthetic eye. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing with Honours (2005) and a Master’s Degree in Nursing as a Family Nurse Practitioner from the University of British Columbia with distinction (2014), reflecting my commitment to excellence in care!
My background in emergency medicine, critical care, cardiac surgery, internal medicine, and remote northern nursing has sharpened my precision, steady hands, and attention to detail—skills I also apply to aesthetic medicine. I take pride in listening to each client’s goals, creating tailored treatment plans, and delivering natural, balanced results!
Whether I’m performing advanced injectables or recommending skin rejuvenation therapies, my approach is meticulous, evidence-based, and personalized, ensuring every client feels comfortable, informed, and confident in their journey.

Kirsten Smith
GUEST Experience coordinator
With a warm smile and a genuine love for people, I’m the friendly face who welcomes our guests to Skin Secrets. As a proud wife, mom to a wonderful son, and dog-mom to two playful pups, I bring heart, care, and energy to everything I do!
I’m passionate about making others feel seen and valued, and I find true joy in connecting with clients and seeing them leave more confident and empowered than when they arrived. Skin Secrets is the perfect fit for me, as it allows me to combine my love of service with a culture of care, inclusion, and results-driven beauty.
Always approachable and ready to help, I’m your go-to for any questions about skincare, hair health, makeup, or treatments we offer. Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, I’ll ensure your experience is welcoming, comfortable, and filled with positivity!
Jacklyn
Guest Experience Coordinator
As one of the first friendly faces you’ll see when you walk through our doors, I strive to make every client feel welcomed, comfortable, and cared for from the very beginning. Having grown up watching this business flourish into the incredible aesthetics clinic it is today, I feel truly fortunate to be part of a team that makes such a meaningful difference in people’s lives.
My passion for aesthetics is deeply personal. For years, I struggled with my own skin, and the impact it had on my confidence was something I knew all too well. I remember walking into a room and immediately wanting to hide, wishing I could feel comfortable and confident in my own skin. Experiencing firsthand the transformative effects of professional treatments and skincare products has been life-changing for me, and it has given me an even deeper appreciation for the journey each client takes.
When I see clients walk through our doors feeling self-conscious, overwhelmed, or unsure of where to begin, I see a little of my own story in theirs. And when I see them leave feeling hopeful, excited, and empowered to begin their aesthetics journey, I’m reminded of exactly why I love what I do. Being able to support someone as they rediscover their confidence and embrace their natural beauty is one of the most rewarding parts of my role.
I take great pride in my work and am committed to continually expanding my knowledge so I can provide the best possible experience for every client. I believe that exceptional care goes beyond treatments and products; it’s about creating a space where you feel heard, understood, and genuinely supported every step of the way.
Above all, I want every person who walks through our doors to feel that they can be themselves. Whether you have a question, a concern, need a little reassurance, or simply have a funny story to share, I’ll always be happy to listen, help, and laugh right alongside you.
It is truly an honour to be part of your journey, and I look forward to helping you feel more confident, comfortable, and beautiful in your own skin.
Tara Persinger
Guest experience coordinator
I’m often the first friendly face you’ll see at Skin Secrets. I strive to bring a warm, polished presence to the front desk and genuinely enjoy connecting with people, ensuring every visit feels seamless, comfortable, and welcoming!
I take pride in making sure each guest feels cared for from the moment they walk through the door. I love being part of the world of medical aesthetics and wellness, where I can combine my passion for service with a results driven, science backed clinic.
Outside of Skin Secrets, you’ll often find me spending time outdoors or with my pup—two things that keep me grounded and energized! I bring that same positive energy into the clinic, always aiming to create a personalized and elevated experience for every client who walks through our doors!
I can’t wait to welcome you!
