Founder & Nurse Practitioner

Michelle Doran

MSN, APRN-BC, CANS

Michelle founded RN Esthetics in 2012 on a simple idea: aesthetics should start with a conversation, not a treatment menu. Fourteen years in, she still treats every consultation that way.

Michelle Doran
Founder & Nurse Practitioner

Ten years in hospice and palliative care taught me what matters. Time. Listening. Meeting people where they actually are. I brought that here. My clients aren’t looking for a different face. They’re looking for the version of themselves they remember being, or the one they want to grow into. That’s what we work toward.

Aging gracefully is a power move. It’s not anti-aging. It’s aging well. There’s a difference.
