About Refresh Evolution
We are Present, Passionate and Professional!
Our goal is to offer world class service. Our technicians are educated and certified, continually training to stay current with the latest Medical innovations. Refresh Evolution is a practice that believes in community upliftment and supporting women in all aspects of growth from personal to professional.
Safety And Education
Every one of our technicians is educated and certified in all of our offerings. At Refresh Evolution, we put Safety, Education and Sanitation at the forefront of our business, by only hiring Certified Technicians and by continually offering upgrading and education on not just new services but old ones as well.
Within Your Budget
We offer the expertise of our Medical Doctor and certified/educated technicians at a fraction of the cost that you would pay in a Medical Clinic and we can tailor our treatments around your specific needs, meaning we can work within your budget. We do not over-sell to our clients. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to better themselves and believe self-care is not just for the affluent.
Meet Our Team
Since that time, the company has grown into a full-service medical aesthetic clinic offering injectables, laser hair removal, and skin rejuvenation. I sold my first clinic to a franchisee and have since opened subsequent franchised and corporate locations in Port Moody, Vancouver, Mission , Burnaby South and Penticton BC as well as a corporate office in Maple Ridge. I have created a winning sales cycle with Refresh Evolution as a B2C business.
My love of business extends to working with other businesswomen to help empower and mentor them. I believe “A rising tide lifts all boats” and love doing my part to encourage and facilitate success among women in business.
My most recent accomplishment has been being featured as a contributing author in the #1 Best Selling Series Woman of Worth .. Women in Business in a changing world – where I write about my trials and successes as a Female Entrepreneur.
When I’m not working, I can be found playing ice hockey, riding a dirt bike, or traveling. I’m also a super fan of the services I offer — chemical peels, laser treatments, skin care, and more!
Kevin
CFO
When I’m not working, I love to travel (especially the Caribbean so I can get out of the Canadian cold), road racing, off-road riding side-by-sides and ATV’s as well as snowboarding.
Skincare has always been a priority in my life. From a young age I was modeling and traveled the world over. After 10 years of traveling with work I was in one city long enough to pursue my passion of Aesthetics which then led to Medical Aesthetics. With 24 years in the ever- growing industry of Medical Aesthetics I have had the honor and privilege of working with others, owning my own salon, and finally working for Refresh Evolution Laser and Med Spa!
Working with Lasers has changed everything for me. During my last 6 years with the company, I went from Laser Technician to Manager of 2 Corporate Clinics.
As we expanded in to a Franchise and my responsibilities grew, I moved in to the position of Franchise Liaison (helping clinic owners and managers to run their clinics efficiently from hiring to training) Over the last 2 years I started to develop our own training center. As head of this new department, I have trained students in to experienced Medical Aestheticians and Laser Hair Removal Techs for Refresh Evolution Laser and Med Spas or for them to pursue their own careers. Newly appointed as COO of Refresh Evolution I am now over seeing most of the company with regards to expanding Refresh You and Liaising with the Franchisees. The team atmosphere with Refresh Evolution has been next to none, and I am so grateful that I can pass my knowledge on to others that have the dream of being in this industry.
I have 2 adult children that I adore, and I spend my weekends with my boyfriend or my kids…we all love the outdoors, and you can see us skiing in the winter and camping all summer. Everyone in my family has benefited from me being in this industry whether having hair removal or learning personal skin care. I am looking forward to our growth and continuing to see others flourish!
I have been in the esthetics industry for over 30 years (with ‘breaks’ for raising my two daughters). Over that time I have developed a deep sense of satisfaction from helping clients reach their skin and body care goals. I love seeing how glowing on the outside can transform a person’s confidence and self esteem on the inside: it’s incredibly rewarding for me and my clients.
For the last 5 years, I’ve been proudly working at Refresh Evolution; mostly as a technician and recently jumped at the chance to be a trainer with Refresh You. It gives me the opportunity to both help other technicians develop their skills and the value they can offer clients, and to continue to grow this great franchise (which continues to impact our clients in so many positive ways).
My biggest go to, to prevent premature ageing will always be a daily physical SPF every single day, rain or shine, indoors and out. Come and visit us to see how we will help you achieve your skin and body care goals.
