Meet Our Nursing Staff

Christine graduated from the practical nursing program at Assiniboine Community College in 2015. Right out of college she specialized in complex respiratory care and hair restoration. With her exposure to medical aesthetics in hair transplants, it led her to gain extensive training and experience in Vampire Facials, laser treatments, medical grade skin care and hair restoration products.

"I enjoy connecting with people on an individual level, listening to their stories, and developing a customized plan with them based on their goals so that they are able to tackle each and every day with the utmost confidence."

Christine has received advanced certification in ventilator training, hair transplant 360 AMA PRA category 1, and neuromodulator injections.

When Christine is not at The First Glance, she enjoys practicing yoga (almost daily), cooking/baking, playing board games, and spending time with family and friends. Christine is happily married to her husband Brent, and a proud mother to her daughter Aria and fur-baby Lola.

Jen joined the First Glance team 10 years ago specializing in medical aesthetics and injectable treatments. Jen has advanced training and extensive experience in the administration of injectable fillers and neuromodulators. Jen is also a member of the Canadian society of aesthetic specialty nurses and is CNA certified in perioperative nursing. She attends annual medical aesthetic conferences across Canada as well as frequent continuing education seminars to stay on top of the latest research and techniques in the industry. 

She has learned that nursing is as much about treating the mind and soul as it is about physical healing. When performing aesthetic treatments, she values the importance of a natural outcome that serves to enhance one’s own beauty.  “I love empowering men and women to feel comfortable and confident in their own skin by achieving a refreshed natural look”

I graduated from Nursing at Red River many, many moons ago.  Throughout nursing school, I knew that surgery was my specialty of choice.  

After graduating, I worked in Orthopedics at St. Boniface Hospital as well as when I started my travel nursing career in New Haven, CT. In addition to Connecticut, travel nursing brought me to Anaheim, CA and Irvine CA where I worked on Telemetry/Medical/Surgical units.  As much as I loved California, I realized that I am a Canadian girl through and through, so back to Winnipeg I came… mildly questioning my sanity whenever winter came around. 

I started back at St Boniface Hospital where I stayed for over 10 years, on a Urology/Vascular and Plastic surgery ward.  I have completed the advanced assessment course allowing me to frequently work in our Stepdown unit.  Half of those years were spent as evening Clinical Resource Nurse, which I thoroughly enjoyed.  

Looking for a change from the hospital setting, I started working at a couple of different aesthetic surgical centers, finding my home base at The First Glance, where I work through all aspects of the surgical process.  

A few of my favourite things are going to the beach, working out, peanut butter and most of all animals especially my dogs who are my furry children.

Lindsay joined the First Glance 14 years ago after completing her Licensed Practical Nursing Program in 2008. Lindsay specializes in Medical Aesthetics & Injectable treatments.

When Lindsay is not performing injectable treatments in-clinic, she is assisting our Board-Certified Plastic Surgeons in the operating room.

Lindsay has advanced training and extensive experience with Aesthetic Injectable Treatments & Medical Grade Skincare products and works with some of the most advanced medical aesthetics equipment on the market.

Lindsay is well known for being precise and articulate in her aesthetic treatments. Her work is her art, and she is very invested in her patients' care.

"I am passionate about my work.  I prioritize building trust, rapport and making sure my client is heard and that their needs and goals are met in a safe, supportive environment.  My philosophy to injectables is "less is more".  I enhance natural beauty with subtlety, providing optimal results with my realistic, comprehensive approach, ensuring comfortability and a positive patient experience".

When Lindsay is not at First Glance, she enjoys spending time with her sister and niece, friends, and her pocket beagle puppy, Charlie. She enjoys living an active lifestyle, hiking, traveling, and summers at the lake with her family.

Jill has practiced as a Nurse Practitioner since 2014. She has always been passionate about improving her patient's self-esteem and body confidence. She takes great pride in providing the highest standard of care for her patients, and is excited to be in a position which encompasses both clinical skill and artistic flare.

Jill provides a multitude of services at the First Glance including Botox and HA filler, hyperhidrosis treatment, Belkyra injections, Vampire Facials, laser vaginal rejuvenation, lesion removal and skincare consultations.
