Meet Vanessa BN,RN, CAMP.
Hi Everyone, I’m Vanessa Tibbo. I am a small town girl with big dreams and big plans. I am a mom of two small children and a wife to Andrew. In my spare time I love to spend quality time with my family- traveling, boating, and watching movies.
I have been a Registered Nurse since 2014; primarily working in the Emergency Room, Diagnostic Imaging and ICU at our local hospital. I have always had a keen eye for beauty and decided to complete the Aesthetic Medicine Practitioner course with the Canadian Board of Aesthetic Medicine. in 2023 I became a faculty member with the Canadian association of medical aesthetics- instructing and teaching what I love.
I have had a tremendous couple of years of personal and professional growth, treating hundreds of clients and transforming confidence in so many men and women. It has been an absolute pleasure to create such amazing bonds with my clients. I look forward to hearing from you and would be honored to offer you my advanced aesthetic medicine practices.
