My name is Jennifer Cantu, I am a registered nurse with a background in the ICU and current aesthetic nurse. I obtained my Bachelors of Science in Nursing from the University of Texas at Arlington where I am also working toward my graduate studies to become a Family Nurse Practitioner.  While in nursing school I obtained private training through the spa I currently work at and loved the atmosphere of empowering women. I enjoy aesthetic medicine for many reasons but mostly because you have the ability to make someone feel  better about themselves. I get the opportunity to treat and encourage change in so many individuals, I encourage not just beauty but mentality shifts, career changes and lifestyle changes which boost mental health.

 

My aesthetics career bloomed quickly and I realized the gap in knowledge and education of new injectors. Educating is my true passions, and coincidently enough my family is full of educators which I vowed to never be! I love inspiring and educating the new wave of medical professionals in this industry. Education play a big role in the aesthetics profession, I love assisting my patients in making informed decisions about their treatment options.

 

Outside of work, I love spending time with my family – my new husband and children. We love exploring new restaurants in Dallas and keep an active lifestyle. I consider myself a self-proclaimed nursepreneur, I believe in using my degree to encourage positive health experiences and enjoy the freedoms of a dream career. The best piece of advice for new injectors is to continue educating yourself daily – from free webinars to monthly paid trainings, its important to forever be a student! I’ve had the opportunity to teach aesthetics to students from all over the United States, I am always learning new things which is why I find the medical field so fascinating.
