Kathleen was born and raised in Toronto and although she is in love with the Kitchener/Waterloo/Cambridge area and plans on staying for a long time, she admits that she will always be a "Toronto girl" at heart. In 2004, she moved to Waterloo to pursue her education and received a Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Waterloo. She studied Therapeutic Recreation with a focus on all aspects of gerontology - specifically the biological aging process and the steps to postpone its exterior presence. Kathleen is our Patient Care Coordinator and with the mix of her theory based knowledge on the natural aging process and a personal interest in cosmeceuticals that began many years ago, Kathleen is a great "first contact" to meet when calling or visiting the clinic for the first time. Continuously educating herself on the advances in the cosmeceutical industry and new anti-aging "tricks", Kathleen welcomes talking in depth about any questions you may have prior to a consultation or after a treatment.
