FOR OVER 2 YEARS, I WAS THE CLINICAL INJECTOR PROVIDING THERAPEUTIC BOTOX INJECTIONS FOR MIGRAINE PATIENTS AT THE RED DEER NEUROLOGY Migraine CLINIC for the chief of neurology.
… On a farm where I grew up competing on the Equestrian horse show circuit and working oilfield construction during the summers. My mentor was my mother who was fiercely driven and who inspired change in our community.
My curiosity of human physiology and helping people is what drove me into the health sciences. After graduating from the University of Alberta, I worked at the inner city Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton and the Cross Cancer Institute.
I moved to beautiful Lacombe to provide my kids the opportunity of a French immersion program while fulfilling my desire to continue practicing “Big City” medicine at the Red Deer Hospital and still be true to my rural roots.
My story also began in a small town…
Here, I provided optimal migraine treatment while conducting patient assessments and med reviews in collaboration with the neurologist. I also had the opportunity to aid in training Physicians on effective migraine treatment using Botox injections. Providing relief to migraine sufferers and the fulfillment of hands-on medicine are what motivated me to continue advancement in the field of aesthetic injections and cosmetic fillers.
I continue to work clinically in the hospital part time for cardiology and medical specialty clinics, while advancing my private medical aesthetic practise. The balance of both worlds helps me provide comprehensive skin rejuvenation services to my clients while being empathetic to their overall health. I am ever advancing my education to provide the safest treatment and leading edge techniques to achieve the outcomes clients desire.
Continuing to expand my expertise in injections, IV therapy and hands on patient care, I am challenging the Licensed Practical Nurse program at Red Deer Polytechnic. I have one more practicum in Emergency and Acute Hospital care, and then I'm done!
Quite honestly, everyone thinks I'm a nurse already and I take that as a compliment, Nurses are way more fun!

I am the mother of two independent, smart, confident girls who keep me running with Ringette.
Together, our family shares a love of adventure through travel, snowboarding, mountain biking and all things water sports.
We are proud to call Lacombe home with its strong sense of community, the arts, the foodie scene, and supporting local businesses. I am thankful to live in such a beautiful town where you can find me taking it all in with Maggie, our family Bernese Mountain Dog.
I’m an RN and Neonatal NP at the Red Deer Hospital. I am also a nurse injector for Empowered Beauty & Therapeutics in Lacombe. I'm excited for this new chapter helping individuals become the best version of themselves enhancing their confidence and well-being.
Hi there, I’M kristy!
I grew up in a small town in Saskatchewan on a grain and cattle farm, where my childhood was filled with summers at the lake and winters at the local rink, figure skating and curling. Those early years instilled in me a strong sense of community, hard work, and meaningful relationships.
Inspired by my mother, I followed her path into nursing and graduated from the University of Saskatchewan as a Registered Nurse. I began my career in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in Saskatoon, where caring for fragile newborns and supporting their families quickly become both my passion and purpose.
I later moved to Red Deer with my partner to support his journey of starting a business in the oilfield sector. Continuing my passion for neonatal care, I joined the NICU at Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre.
To further advance my clinical expertise, I returned to graduate studies and earned a Master’s degree in Nursing with a specialization as a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner. I am grateful to continue practicing in the NICU today, caring for newborns during some of their earliest and most critical moments.
I am deeply passionate about helping individuals become the best version of themselves. For me, this includes enhancing natural beauty in a way that fosters confidence and well-being. My interest in aesthetic nursing has grown over the past several years and meeting Shanna was the spark that inspired me to pursue the art and science of medical aesthetics.
My story also began in a small town…
Outside of my clinical and aesthetic practice, I enjoy staying active through fitness and hiking, travelling, and spending quality time with family and friends.
