FACE BEHIND THE BUSINESS
Hi, I’m Karis, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) and aesthetic injector with a passion for natural, confidence-boosting results. I am the Founder & CEO of Blush Medical Aesthetics, where all injectable treatments are performed by an LPN operating within scope and under the supervision of a licensed medical director, Brandon Durnford, NP, in accordance with Newfoundland regulations. I am certified in basic and advanced neuromodulators and dermal fillers through the Canadian Association of Medical Aesthetics (CAMA), with additional advanced training through the Canadian Board of Aesthetic Medicine and THMA. I am committed to ongoing education to ensure safe, effective, and up-to-date treatment approaches. In addition to my clinical work, I serve as a Nurse Instructor with CAMA, training physicians, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, and licensed practical nurses across Canada in neuromodulators and dermal fillers. Blush Medical Aesthetics has been recognized as the Most Trusted Personalized Aesthetic Clinic 2025 in Newfoundland (Corporate Vision Global Business Awards), a 2026 Canadian Choice Award winner in Medical Spas (Grand Falls-Windsor), and a Top 100 Practice in the 2026 BFCM Awards (RepeatMD). My philosophy is simple: enhance, never change. I focus on natural, balanced results while creating a safe, supportive environment where clients feel confident and informed. Outside of the clinic, I enjoy time with my family, camping, boating, and cheering on my kids at their sports.
Annabelle Menkenrick - Medical Aesthetician
Originally from England and now based in Canada since 2010, my passion for skin care and beauty has been a constant throughout my life. From an early age, I was fascinated by the transformative power of beauty treatments, with my eyelash tech and nail tech being key influences in my decision to pursue this career. In 2019, I enrolled in the Academy of Cosmetology, where I specialized in medical aesthetics. Since then, I’ve become certified in a variety of advanced treatments, including chemical peels, microneedling, laser therapy, dermaplaning, cryotherapy, and advanced facials, among others. As a medical aesthetician, my approach is always client-focused: I aim to provide you with results that match your personal goals, without any pressure. Your unique needs are my priority, and I’m here to support your beauty journey in a way that feels right for you.
Karis is just the sweetest. Puts you at ease and makes the whole process enjoyable, plus the great results after speak for themselves! Have had a couple treatments done now, and will definitely be back for more!
Highly recommend!! You won't be sorry for choosing Karis!
