Dr. Farzana Kurwa graduated from Bristol Dental School in the UK and relocated to Canada with her young family in 2008. After witnessing the heightened need for connection and meaningful interaction in the wake of the pandemic, she realized that people were also seeking high-quality aesthetic services with visible results. Driven by this, Farzana set out to create a welcoming, client-centered facility designed to meet these needs in a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Berenice's journey into aesthetics began close to home—when her daughter faced challenges with acne, she was inspired to learn more and support her. That led her to earn a Clinical Aesthetics Diploma from TEI, and became a licensed Aesthetician with honours across several disciplines.
She is passionate about helping people feel confident in their skin. Whether it’s through custom facials, microneedling, laser hair removal, or advanced exfoliation treatments, she takes pride in tailoring every service to meet each client’s unique needs and goals.
Outside of the clinic, she loves spending time with family, dancing to Latin music, and connecting with new people.
Oh—and did I mention she speaks Spanish? So if you ever want to chat (or pick up a few new words), you know where to find her!
