HER STORY ⟡ Lisa McMillan
Today, we are meeting Lisa McMillan, APRN-C, Owner & Founder of Livio Med Spa!
Tell us about you and your background!
I have been a Certified Nurse Practitioner for over 30 years, beginning my career in the fields of Women’s Health and the Neonatal ICU. I have been practicing in Cosmetic Aesthetics for over 10 years. I am a national trainer for Allergan, the makers of Botox, and I belong to the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, the International Society of Plastic and Aesthetic Nurses, and the American Association of Women’s Health Nurse Practitioners. I have a very supportive husband, who does all the cooking and shopping and 2 wonderful independent kids, who love adventure. Outside of Livio, I love to paddleboard. I also enjoy taking biking and hiking trips all over the world. I love to read apocalypse novels and rescue wild and domestic animals.
Tell us about your business and why you started it!
I became interested in the field of Aesthetics after I wanted a little something to help me look the age I have always felt — 32…(for the last 25 years). But I found that the process of searching for a provider was confusing and, frankly, intimidating. After working for three and a half years as the Director of Clinical Services for a nationally-renowned aesthetic practice, hiring and training all of the injectors across their thirteen offices, I decided to open my own med spa, Livio. Now I am able to provide the personal attention and trusting relationship that all my clients deserve from their injector.
What do you love about being a business owner?
Everything- I love the fast pace of being an owner, the challenge of growing the business, and I especially love the relationship with my employees. I love mentoring and encouraging my employees to be the best versions of themselves.
What type of impact do you hope to make on those you meet and/or who receive your services?
Feeling great about your appearance can be really important for fostering confidence. However, when people walk into Livio Med Spa, I want them to feel like they are valued, and listened to. I think that is the first step in feeling confident, before we do any services for them.
What advice would you give yourself from 5 years ago OR your past self just starting your business?
Trust your instincts.
What does BEAUTY mean to you?
There is beauty everywhere. Every person has something beautiful about them. You just have to look at someone and really see them to find something beautiful about them.
Who or what inspires you?
People who never give up. So many of my clients have faced gut wrenching adversity in their lives. But they don’t let that stop them from moving forward, being happy and continuing to be kind to others. They are truly inspiring to me.
What would you like our Beauty Boost members to know?
There are so many ways to be and feel beautiful and confident. Livio is excited to be a part of the Beauty Boost community and we are looking forward to growing with all of you.
