Kathleen L. Feeney, ARNP, MS graduated from Rutgers, then received her Master’s degree from Baylor College of Medicine where she specialized in Woman’s Health and became a Certified Nurse Midwife.  While treating common skin conditions Kathleen decided her true passion and calling was skin care and anti aging techniques.

She brings a diverse amount of talent to Venus. Kathleen began her medical aesthetics career in 2004 while working closely with talented plastic surgeons. While gaining knowledge of the anatomy and muscles of the face as well as the skin, she began injecting Botox and fillers. She continued her career expanding into dermatology & the med spa environment performing consultations, and carrying out treatment plans that meets the needs of each & every client individually.  Her excellent understanding of the aging face due to volume and structural losses allows her clients to regain their youthfulness.  She is dedicated to each client’s complete satisfaction.

Lauren has a comforting and nurturing demeanor that instantly puts everyone at ease.   Lauren has had a passion for medicine since she was a child and knew before ever starting PA school that she wanted to practice in some specialty of dermatology/cosmetic medicine
.
Her passion to devote her career to dermatology/plastics/cosmetics was intensified during her dermatological clinical rotation while in PA school in which she got experience with injections and fillers for the first time.  She explained that she “was amazed at the ease of treatment and patient results! I truly enjoy the medicinal yet artistic approach to asthetic enhancement.” 
Lauren strives  to make patients feel comfortable during consultation and treatment; answering any questions they may have and addressing their individual concerns/goals of treatment.  With her training and experience in the Advanced Protocols that Venus uses such as our soft tip needles for fillers, she is more than qualified to achieve these results!

 When asked, her reply was:  “My goal is to subtly make patients look and feel more confident and youthful without anyone knowing they had a treatment."

Tanya has a dynamic and positive personality with a  great desire to help others look and feel their very best!  She came to Venus after having worked  with a Plastic Surgeon, both in surgery & doing facial injectables as well as Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine (skin care, weight loss, nutrition). Her passion grew as her patients began to transform and it was evident that she wanted to focus on more non-invasive, no downtime  techniques. These traits have driven her to pursue a career in medical aesthetics.    She has extensive post graduate training in injecting Botox, Dysport and dermal fillers along with the newest techniques of soft tip that Venus requires of all of their expert injectors.  Everyone that meets Tanya is instantly put at ease with her confident and authentic presence.   You will very quickly know that you are in good hands during her thorough consultation with you and her love of helping you look and feel beautiful in every way imaginable.

She is very excited to be a part of the Venus super star team and stated:
"My goal is to make you look as natural as possible without others knowing you had anything done. They just know you look great!  It's the best compliment for the both of us."

Emily comes to Venus mini Med Spa with a passion and desire to focus her  career on Medical Aesthetics.  In fact, she will tell you that the only reason that she pursued a post graduate medical degree as a N.P.  was so that she would be qualified with advanced training to perform facial aesthetics using non invasive injectables.   She underwent specialized training & then prior to be hired was put through the vigorous training protocols that Venus requires of all practitioners they bring on board. Trained in our very unique and advanced practice of  using a soft tip non-needle to minimize pain and bruising during filler treatments she, like the other  star members of our team has more advanced training than  the majority of doctors,  who still use the painful needle technique.      She loves being able  to create a youthful appearance and to revolumize features  such as lifting the cheeks and lips for those seeking to look natural and beautiful,  just a little more enhanced.    Her goal  is always a natural and fresh look.   Confident with a fresh outlook and sweet demeanor along with great technique is how those who meet her  describe her and these very traits make her very comforting and warm .   She brings a unique and artistic eye with a great touch to Venus.
