MY STORY

Cella, DNP, APRN, FNP-C | Your Concierge Aesthetic NP

My journey into aesthetics began during my undergraduate years at the University of California, Irvine, where I first became involved in aesthetic research. I completed all of my nursing education at the University of California, Irvine, progressing through its competitive programs to earn my Registered Nurse (RN) licensure, Public Health Nurse (PHN) certification and Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree. A few years later I proudly received my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree, Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) certification.

Over the three years in the DNP-FNP program, my doctoral project focused on resilience and mindfulness training for nursing students. This work remains a personal passion and an ongoing mission: raising awareness of nursing student mental health and promoting strategies to help nurses prevent burnout throughout their careers

EXPERIENCE & EDUCATION

I am a Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner with several years of aesthetic experience and certifications in dermal fillers, biostimulators, neuromodulators, lasers, hormone care, and advanced aesthetic techniques. Continuing education is an ongoing part of my practice. I am trilingual in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

MY APPROACH

I focus on natural-looking results, facial balancing, and a regenerative philosophy that values skin quality and long-term well-being. My goal is to support your skin’s renewal and help you age well through individualized, clinically appropriate care. I bring that same thoughtful approach to conversations about wellness and longevity.

Meditation and mindfulness are meaningful parts of my life and work. Beyond clinical practice, I enjoy hosting women’s group retreats centered on mindset, healing, and connection.
