Our Practice & Staff

Jennifer began her career in the medical field by earning an AAS degree and serving as a clinical respiratory therapist for eight years, including three years as a neonatal/pediatric therapist at Riley Children's Hospital in Indianapolis. She has always had a love for cosmetic procedures and skin care, and decided in 1997 to apply her knowledge of medicine and business to the aesthetic skin care industry and become an aesthetician.

Jennifer founded Essentials Med Spa to provide superior aesthetic services under the safest, most effective conditions, in order to bring about the best outcomes possible. An avid consumer of medical skin products since the age of 20, she not only has a true love for them, she is also thoroughly versed in the products themselves, the chemistry behind them, and how they interact with the skin.

Jennifer is proud that Essentials Med Spa approaches skin care differently from many other practices. The goal is to heal skin from the inside out, to treat it in the healthiest way possible, rather than merely stripping off the old skin.

Since the spa opened more than 4 years ago, Jennifer has taken pride in managing an expert and knowledgeable staff that educates clients and offers outstanding customer service in every area, something that has been of the utmost importance from the outset. She feels that the most important aspect of the med spa, and what differentiates it from many other spas in the area, is the amount of time spent with clients and the care given to informing them of their skin care treatments. Clients enjoy the power of knowledge and a warm reception.

We have been extremely fortunate to have such a talented, educated, devoted aesthetician and laser technician on our staff for the last year.  Tara is a licensed aesthetician and electrologist.  She completed her aesthetician training through Florida College of Natural Health in Bradenton.  She graduated from the 1200 hour program with honors.   Her electrologist training was completed at Electrolysis Institute in Tampa.  In the state of Florida an electrologist receives training on traditional electorolgy and the use of lasers for hair removal.  Tara takes a lot of pride in continually educating herself and offering her clients the best treatments available.  Tara currently is available for skin care treatments and/or laser hair reductions treatments on Tuesday, Friday, and every other Thursday and Saturday.  Call today to schedule your appointment with Tara.  813-739-0915
