"Phyl? I was expecting a man! What's your real name?" is usually the first question new clients ask me. 

I was named after my Dad -Philip. So, I'm really just Phyl.

Fun Facts About Me:

I was born and raised in a small town in northern New York. So far north that Canada is closer than anywhere else. 

Between the two of us, my husband and I have 5 children; ranging in age from 3 to 22!

I enjoy outdoor activities: hiking, kayaking, roasting marshmallows, climbing trees, and recently, roller skating. 

I wrote a book! That, ironically, I have a difficult time describing, but if you like Young Adult novels, with a twist, it's available on Amazon: The Choice by PA Barbara

I have enjoyed working in health care for 22 years, experiencing everything from maternity to home care. I fell in love with Dermatology and Cosmetics in 2018 - and have passionately pursued knowledge and experience in this area ever since. 

I left a thriving dermatology & aesthetics clinic to move to Virginia... for love, of course. I have embraced this change as an opportunity to start my own business - Alternative Aging & Medispa. 

​

I love injecting because it lets me mix medicine and art. My absolute most favorite thing is watching people look in the mirror when we're done; watching the feelings of surprise, and delight, and growing confidence. I love helping people to feel good in their skin. Because my experience is based in dermatology, it's fundamentally important to me to provide results that are subtle yet dramatic. I aim for that "You look great! What's different???" kind of natural look. I want you to walk away looking like you. The best possible version of you.
