Meet Our Owner and Master Injector, Gretchen

BUILDING TRUST THROUGH EXPERIENCE AND EDUCATION

Fueled by a passion for helping others, I began my healthcare journey as a registered nurse in the pediatric intensive care unit. After witnessing the incredible work at Mayo Clinic, I pursued a Master’s in Nurse Anesthesia to further my impact. For ten years, I provided anesthesia for vulnerable children undergoing critical surgeries at Cook Children’s. In 2020, a new chapter began in Alaska. I continued providing anesthesia care across various patient populations before transitioning to my current role as co-owner of Minnie Street Surgery Center. Here, I focus on making children feel comfortable during dental procedures under anesthesia.

EXPANDING MY SKILLSET FOR HOLISTIC WELLNESS

Beyond anesthesia, I have a deep interest in promoting overall well-being. To this end, I have completed dedicated training in various non-surgical aesthetic treatments, including platelet-rich plasma (PRP), neurotoxins, dermal fillers, PDO thread lifts, Kybella, microneedling and body contouring.

I believe everyone deserves to look and feel their best. At Minnie Street, I approach each client as a unique work of art, with the goal of helping them become their own masterpiece, both inside and out.

WHY I BECAME AN AESTHETIC INJECTOR

A personal battle with melanoma ignited a passion for skin health. After years of neglecting my largest organ, I delved into the science of skincare, discovering the transformative power of the treatments I now offer at Minnie Street Aesthetics.My background as a CRNA equipped me with a deep understanding of anatomy, meticulous procedural skills, and the importance of infection control. Whether it’s using ultrasound for precise treatments or maintaining surgical-grade sterility, my experience ensures your safety and comfort on your journey to feeling your best.

BEYOND THE CLINIC

When I’m not empowering patients, I’m embracing Alaska’s wild beauty with my husband, son, and our Belgian shepherd. Hiking, rock climbing, skiing – you name it, we’re out there!! This adventurous spirit fuels my artistic side too. Since childhood, I’ve loved expressing myself through painting and photography.Alaska’s stunning landscapes provide endless inspiration. My artistic background and keen eye for detail translate into a unique “X factor” for my clients at Minnie Street Aesthetics helping them achieve their own personal masterpiece.
