About Jennifer
Jennifer brings over 26 years of experience in facial and body restorative arts and reconstruction, forming the foundation of her uniquely refined and thoughtful approach to aesthetics. She began her career as a licensed funeral director, where she developed an expert-level understanding of facial anatomy, symmetry, and the delicate art of restoration, along with a deep respect for the emotional connection people have to how they look and feel.
Driven to expand her impact in patient care, Jennifer transitioned into nursing, serving in both critical care and hospice settings. These experiences shaped her commitment to compassion, presence, and truly listening to those she serves. She went on to earn her Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from the Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing, and holds a Post-Doctoral Certificate in Nursing Education. She is also a Certified Nursing Educator (CNE), grounding her work in advanced clinical knowledge and evidence-based medicine.
With a rare blend of restorative artistry and medical expertise, Jennifer’s transition into aesthetics and primary care was both natural and intentional. She has trained alongside leading experts in the aesthetic industry and spent years building the vision that would become Manna Life Health & Wellness.
As Founder, Owner, and Medical Director, Jennifer is known for delivering results that are natural, anatomically precise, and tailored to each individual. Her approach prioritizes safety, integrity, and long-term outcomes, never trends or overcorrection.
In addition to her clinical work, she serves as a nurse educator, teaching both nursing students and nurse practitioner students, and remains actively involved in the funeral service profession that helped shape her foundation.
At the heart of everything she does is a simple but powerful mission:
“I want every single person that walks through our doors to feel heard, respected, included, and genuinely cared for.”
