Ellen Lancaster, FNP-BC

In 2012 NP Ellen graduated from Washington College with a bachelors degree in Psychology. The following year, she completed her bachelors degree from Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing. Upon graduating, her professional nursing career began in an Adult ICU, where she worked until 2015, which is when she began travel nursing. She spent several months working in an ICU in Texas, when a nursing opportunity in California was presented to her. In 2016 she moved to California to continue working as an intensive care nurse. Shortly after moving to the west coast, she accepted a job offer from a medical spa to experience a new type of nursing while continuing to work in the hospital. The rest is history!​

​

Ellen will tell you that she values the time she spent as an ICU nurse immensely because those years taught her the importance of lifelong health maintenance. She largely credits her hands on ICU experience for her intimate understanding of chronic disease processes. She still remembers with fondness the years of hospital experience that inspired her to become a Nurse Practitioner:

​​

"Seeing patient after patient struggle with conditions that are  completely, 100% preventable is what inspired me to become an NP (Nurse Practitioner). I wished I could have gotten to these patients sooner, I wished I could be the healthcare provider that patients see before it's too late, before irreversible damage occurs so we can prevent that together."

​

Since devoting herself full-time to wellness and aesthetic medicine, Ellen has held several jobs treating patients and has even became a trainer for multiple companies. She currently trains new aesthetic injectors on neurotoxin and dermal filler techniques for the pharmaceutical comapny, Prollenium, the medical aesthetic certification company The Esthetic Skin Institute, and the education and professional mentorship company, InjectAbility Institute. Ellen loves being a trainer because those opportunities allow her to collaborate with like-minded professionals in the wellness space, which she loves to do.
