Meet the Face Lab team, where expertise meets a personalized approach to feeling your best. 

Hi, I’m Tabitha!

​

I’m a Nurse Practitioner and aesthetic injector who’s passionate about helping people feel confident, cared for, and completely themselves.

 

I earned my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas, and went on to complete both my Bachelor and Master of Science in Nursing at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston. I’ve been a Nurse Practitioner and aesthetic injector since 2018, and I’m incredibly passionate about helping women feel confident, empowered, and cared for through high-quality, personalized treatments.

 

Beyond aesthetics, I also work in urgent care, where I find deep fulfillment in serving my community and helping bridge gaps in healthcare; especially in underserved areas.

 

When I’m not working, you’ll find me spending time with my daughters and family, staying active, exploring new restaurants, or relaxing with a good Netflix binge.

Hi, I’m Marie!

​

I was born and raised on the beautiful Central Coast. Though I left for several years to pursue my education and nursing career, I’m truly happy to be back in the place I have always loved most. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Human Biology and Society from UCLA and my Master’s of Science in Nursing from Johns Hopkins University. After working as a critical care nurse in both the Intensive Care Unit and Emergency Department, I discovered my passion for aesthetics in 2023. Since then, I also returned to school at San Francisco State to earn my Family Nurse Practitioner certificate.

 

What excites me most about aesthetics is how it beautifully blends art and science. I’m passionate about providing care that celebrates each person’s unique beauty, helping them feel like the most empowered and confident version of themselves.

 

When I’m not immersed in aesthetics, I also work in Family Medicine, where I feel honored to serve members of the community that I grew up in. 

 

Outside of work, you’ll often find me hiking, antiquing, working out, trying a new matcha spot, or enjoying time with my loved ones.

Hi, I’m Karen!

I have been a cardiac nurse for seven years, including four years as a travel nurse, a journey that brought me to the Central Coast from Temecula, California, where I was raised. I received my education in San Diego, earning my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from National University in 2017. Throughout my career, I have maintained an unwavering commitment to precision, safety, and exceptional patient care.

 

In 2022, I transitioned into aesthetic medicine, where my strong clinical foundation, meticulous attention to detail, and patient-centered approach allows me to deliver refined, natural-looking results while prioritizing comfort, safety and trust.

 

In my free time, I really enjoy traveling, spending time with family and friends, and making memories with my fur baby, Khaleesi.

Dr. Motoko Abraham brings a unique blend of scientific precision and compassionate care to the Face Lab team. Originally from Japan, Dr. Abraham immigrated to the United States after making history as the first female air traffic controller in Japan. With an early career in engineering, she later pursued her passion for medicine and is now a practicing Emergency Room physician and serves the central coast in the lompoc valley medical ER.

​

At Face Lab, Dr. Abraham serves as a medical director, offering clinical oversight and supporting our staff with her extensive medical knowledge. Her diverse background makes her a trusted resource for the team, and her meticulous attention to detail ensures that every treatment plan meets the highest standards of safety and care.

​

When she's not in the ER or reviewing charts, you’ll likely find her gardening, crafting, or visiting Face Lab for her quarterly toxin treatments, a routine she swears by for maintaining a refreshed, natural look.

​

We are proud to have Dr. Abraham as part of our extended team.

Hi, I’m Chrissy!

I’m an aesthetic Registered Nurse and a dedicated graduate student currently working toward my certification as a Family Nurse Practitioner.

 

Though my roots are in Chicago, I moved frequently during my childhood before settling in Southern California during high school. It was there that I met my husband, and after starting our family, we chose to leave the hustle of Orange County behind. We are so happy to now call the Central Coast home and be near our loved ones.

 

My journey into aesthetics began in 2022. While working in the hospital setting, I sought a creative outlet at a medical spa and quickly discovered a deep affinity for the field. I love how aesthetic medicine harmonizes clinical science with artistic detail. At Face Lab, I am honored to help my patients achieve a refreshed, natural look that makes them feel truly empowered and like the best version of themselves.

 

When I’m not in the office, I’m typically focused on my Nurse Practitioner studies, enjoying quality time with my husband and two children, or adventuring through the local landscapes of the Central Coast.

 

My mission is to ensure you feel informed, relaxed, and genuinely cared for throughout your experience. I look forward to meeting you and being a part of your aesthetic journey!
