Laura is an oncology trained Kansas City acne specialist whose proof of excellence lies in her commitment to education. A veteran graduate of Independence College of Cosmetology, Laura is also a CIDESCO diplomate. CIDESCO qualification is the world’s most prestigious professional recognition in the field of esthetics and wellness therapy. Additionally, armed with certifications in microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and dermaplaning, her professional strengths include LED light therapy prescription, ingredient mastery, makeup artistry and wax hair removal. Laura is constantly evolving in the world of esthetics, offering highly individualized skin therapy to every studio guest she welcomes.

Laura’s passion is not new, yet her zeal for esthetics has only grown since her days of making homemade facial masks and playing makeup with her sister as a young girl. That creative enthusiasm has grown into what each Kitzie Spa guest receives when they meet Laura: expectations that are always exceeded, accompanied by guaranteed rejuvenation. The experience Laura creates is rooted in the understanding that each person that steps into her room has unique needs. While every client is distinct, the goal is always the same: create from scratch, a science-based skincare treatment program that delivers results, then enrobe them in relaxation. Kitzie Therapies are all-inclusive, so you’ll  never be surprised by mid-treatment add-ons or “starting from” fees.

Because giving back has become an important part of her career, Laura has committed to having a positive impact on the lives of cancer patients with compassion and healing. As a former volunteer with the American Cancer Society’s Look Good, Feel Better® program, she facilitated workshops that taught cancer patients skin care and beauty techniques to help them combat appearance-related side effects of cancer treatment. Today, Laura is a trainer for Oncology Spa Solutions, the premier destination for top-quality oncology spa training, resources and programs tailored to meet the unique needs of high risk clients.

After hours, Laura loves spending quality time with her husband Chris and her two children, Leo and Sydney. All three love coming in for facials!
