Back to EpisodesThe Squiggly Business Journey Behind Aesthetic Med Spas with Alyssa D’Arcy
Description
What does a Pediatric ICU nurse and a med spa owner have in common? More than you'd think — and it's all one squiggly career.
Alyssa D'Arcy went from caring for critically ill children to building her own aesthetics practice, and the thread connecting it all is the same: a deep commitment to helping people feel their best. In this episode, she pulls back the curtain on what aesthetic medicine actually looks like when it's done right — and it's far from the Instagram trends and quick-fix culture most people associate with it.
Colleen and Ashleigh dig into the real conversation around aesthetic medicine: the stigma, the safety questions, and the shift toward full-body wellness that includes hormones, women's health, and longer, more intentional consultations. Alyssa breaks down how to vet a provider, why credentials matter more than a social media following.
Whether you're curious about aesthetics, navigating your own career squiggle, or just want to hear from someone doing things differently — this one's worth your time.
