THE ADMIRE PROMISE
We want to focus on your health, beauty, and quality of life. Our mission is to provide you with extensive patient education and work closely with you to find solutions that fit your lifestyle. All cosmetic consultations with us are complimentary, and with no obligation. We will stay ahead of the current technology and will always advocate for patient safety. Choosing an aesthetic procedure is not about being vain; but is a service that can improve quality of life, psychological well-being, and that supports empowerment!
SAFETY MEASURES MATTER MOST AT ADMIRE MEDICAL AESTHETICS
We want the best for our patients, which means our patients trust us. Ultrasound is another obvious and visible step in the process of safety.
Ultrasound imaging brings us to the next evolutionary step in aesthetic medical practice. No longer having to inject blindly means that we have the ability to identify and avoid larger blood vessels, reducing the risk of bruising and potential vascular compromise.
Patients who attend our practice where we use ultrasound imaging routinely can be confident that their practitioner is using every tool in the box to ensure that they have an effective treatment. Using ultrasound meant that we can position our dermal filler exactly where we need it to be, meaning better aesthetic outcomes.

Aesthetic NP-BC injector
Specialties: Neurotoxins, RF Microneedling and PRF
Bridgitte (also answers to “B”) is an ARNP and was born and raised in Sedro-Woolley, Washington. After graduating Magna Cum Laude of her BSN program at Gonzaga University, she began her career working on both neurological/telemetry and cardiac floors. Bridgitte decided to return to Gonzaga and pursue her MSN, and has been a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner since 2016.
Bridgitte’s interest in cosmetic medicine dates back to high school when she underwent jaw surgery to correct an asymmetrical bite, stemming from a fall off a slide while playing as a child. Having been on the receiving end of beautification procedures since her mid-twenties, Bridgitte has a keen understanding of the patient experience. As a medical provider, the natural next step was to align her practice with her passion of aesthetics. Injection technique and patient safety are of upmost importance to her, and she looks forward to continuing her education in aesthetics to ensure the best outcomes for her patients.
Some of Bridgitte’s favorite treatments include neurotoxins, RF micro needling, and utilizing the magical properties of PRF in a variety of ways. Outside of work, she loves all things animals and mermaids! In her spare time, you can usually find her with her husband, 3 dogs, chickens, family/friends, vacationing, or enjoying a nap.
In her own words, Bridgitte feels “beauty should not be viewed through a one-size-fits-all lens. The defining features and characteristics that make you, YOU, should be modernized...not morphed. She is privileged to be a part of the team at Admire and looks forward to both meeting and treating you!
