Laura has excelled at helping people look and feel their best nearly her whole life. Starting in high school, she earned her cosmetology degree and did haircuts and perms to help pay for college. After earning her bachelor’s degree and graduating with honors in Marketing she worked for Aveda doing advanced training for salon owners. She also worked for Le Jardin and then Montana Salon and Spa as an esthetician. Wanting to start a family, she opened a studio in her home providing facials, microdermabrasion, waxing and body treatments. This was a wonderful way to raise her two children while maintaining a career. Secret World Day Spa was a big success, but after 12 years in business, Laura wanted to once again, advance her career.

Laura attended UCD to obtain a bachelor’s in nursing and a certificate of Registered Nurse. She went to work for Colorado Skin and Vein, becoming Clinic Manager responsible for writing protocol, assisting in surgery, learning laser safety and parameters, taking over the injectable practice, training and overseeing nurses and aestheticians, and being responsible for all clinic supplies. By 2013, the number of Botox patients tripled and her filler numbers put the practice in the top 6% in the nation. In 2018 she started her own practice, Artistry Skin and Laser.

Laura’s passion is in helping people to look younger and better, but not “done.” She prefers a conservative, natural approach. Because of her dedication to the long-term care of her patient’s skin, she still retains many of her original clientele from Secret World Day Spa. If you have an interest in perking up your looks but are not sure what to do, meet with Laura for a complimentary consultation. Her expert eye, combined with incredible training from some of the top injectors in the world, will have you smiling in no time.

Continuing education helps to keep Artistry Skin and Laser on the leading edge of services offered.

It was my struggle with acne that ignited my passion for skin care. I am Japanese and Irish, therefore I tan and freckle. Thus my current struggle is with hyperpigmentation, wrinkles and still acne(eye roll). I received my esthetics license in 2005 and practiced the art of acne facials and waxing, but found myself limited in what I could do for the body, I then pursued my Bachelors in Nursing from The University of Colorado. From there I focused on inner beauty and worked for six years at Children’s Hospital Colorado in the inpatient psychology unit. With the birth of my third child I chose to focus on my work at home. Upon my reentry into the work force I desired to combine my two licenses: RN and esthetician. After researching the field I approached Laura. I am thrilled to be joining a woman owned and operated company with shared vision and values. I am a fifth generation Denverite, proud of my deep roots and grateful for my many connections. I am a mother of three wonderful children, two girls and a baby boy. I take care of myself with yoga, meditation, adventures in nature and the intentions of peace, love and joy. I believe that you must fill your well before you can fill others. I receive great joy in helping others fill their wells.
