About Us
Amanda Grillo MSN, APRN, FNP-C
As co founder and medical director I am a dedicated Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner with a passion for bringing out the inherent beauty and confidence in every individual I have the privilege to work with. My nursing journey spans 14 years and for the past 7 years I have been full time to aesthetic medicine. I have had the incredible opportunity to witness the transformative power of aesthetics in enhancing self-esteem and well-being and I have loved every moment I get to spend with my patients.
What Sets Me Apart: Through countless patient interactions, I've come to understand that aesthetics is not just about appearances—it's about empowering individuals to embrace their unique beauty and radiate confidence. With a deep understanding of facial anatomy, a keen eye for detail, and a comprehensive grasp of the latest aesthetic techniques, I strive to create results that are not just beautiful but authentic.
My Approach: I firmly believe that every face tells a story, and my approach to aesthetic treatments is anchored in personalized care. I take the time to listen to my patients' aspirations, concerns, and goals. It's not just about treatments; it's about co-creating a journey towards self-assuredness and renewed vitality.
Continuous Learning: In the ever-evolving field of aesthetic medicine, staying ahead is paramount. I'm an ardent believer in continuous learning and professional growth. Regularly attending workshops, seminars, and staying updated with the latest research allows me to offer my patients cutting-edge treatments that are both safe and effective.
Beyond Aesthetics: While aesthetics is my specialty and passion I am also married to the love of my life and mother to three beautiful children. In my spare time you can find me enjoying times with friends and family, traveling the world, and anything near the ocean.
Thank you for considering me as your provider in your aesthetic journey. I look forward to meeting you and being a part of your story. xo

As co founder of Awaken I am a passionate and dedicated Aesthetic Nurse with a rich background in nursing spanning 14 years. I am also currently in school to become a Nurse Practitioner, and anticipate graduating in May 2024. For the past 7 years, I have immersed myself in the captivating world of aesthetic medicine, where I have been able to expand my skills and expertise have flourished.
My nursing journey began in the traditional nursing realm, where I honed my compassionate care and critical thinking skills while tending to patients' well-being in a hospital setting. Transitioning into aesthetic medicine was a natural evolution for me and allowed me to combine my love for nurturing others with my fascination for the artistry of beauty enhancement and wellness.
With a firm belief that aesthetic treatments should enhance and celebrate natural beauty, my approach is founded on open communication and individualized care. I've had the privilege of witnessing the profound impact that a boost in self-confidence can have on one's overall quality of life. I meticulously tailor treatments to harmonize with each patient's unique features and goals.
My dedication to staying at the forefront of aesthetic advancements drives me to continuously expand my knowledge and refine my techniques. Over the years, I've become adept at various cosmetic procedures, always prioritizing safety, artistry, and results that look effortlessly radiant.
When I'm not at work or doing school work you can find me spending quality time with my husband and 2 children. I also have a pasion for fitness and maintining a healthy lifestyle. I believe that beauty extends beyond appearances – it's about the joy and authenticity that radiates from within.
