Meet the team who will help you fall in love with the process of becoming the best version of yourself.

Medical Team

Tabitha Abraham, FNP, APRN

Director of Clinical Operations,

Advanced Aesthetic Injector

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 staying active at the gym, exploring new restaurants, or relaxing with a good Netflix binge.

Marie Aguinaldo, FNP, APRN

Advanced Aesthetic Injector

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.

Motoko Abraham

DO, Medical Director

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.

Amelia Tonge

RN, Aesthetic Injector

Hi, I’m Amelia!

Originally from Northern California, I took a leap of faith at 18 and relocated to the beautiful Central Coast, where I’ve planted roots and grown both personally and professionally. With a long-standing passion for beauty, wellness, and human connection, I’ve found my calling in aesthetic nursing where I get to help others feel more confident in their own skin.

In addition to my role at Face Lab, I’m proud to serve the local community through my work on the cardiac telemetry unit at French Hospital. I value the balance of both acute and aesthetic care, and I carry the same level of compassion and precision into every patient interaction.

My goal is simple: to give the gift of confidence and beauty to as many people as possible, and to play a meaningful role in that transformation. Outside of work, I’m devoted to health and fitness. You’ll often find me hiking Madonna Mountain, sipping on a good cup of coffee, or unwinding with a mystery novel.

Patient Experience Team

Sarah Abraham

Co-Founder,
Practice Manager

Hi, I’m Sarah!

I’ve called the Central Coast home for over a decade, and I’m passionate about contributing to this vibrant community. With a background in office management and over 10 years of experience in patient care, I’ve always been drawn to the art of helping others feel their best. Creating Face Lab has allowed me to combine my love for service with my keen interest in beauty and aesthetics.

My goal is to ensure every client feels valued and empowered throughout their aesthetic journey. I take pride in being part of a team that enhances confidence and celebrates individuality.

When I’m not at the office, you’ll likely find me in the yoga studio, trying a new recipe, or lounging on the beach. I look forward to welcoming you to Central Coast Face Lab and being a part of your journey toward looking and feeling your absolute best!

Jetzy Aguirre

Medical Aesthetician & Treatment Coordinator

Hello, I’m Jetzy!

A lifelong resident of the Central Coast and a licensed cosmetologist, I believe in the power of healthy, glowing skin. After studying at the Institute of Beauty Culture, I’m thrilled to share my knowledge and passion for skincare with my clients. Whether it’s facials, peels, or custom skincare treatments, I take a personalized approach to ensure your unique skin needs are met. When I’m not helping clients feel their best, you’ll find me spending time with my dog, Athena, traveling, catching a movie at the theater, or enjoying quality time with my family.

Emma Irey

Medical Assistant & Treatment Coordinator

Hi, I'm Emma!

Born and raised in Arroyo Grande, I absolutely love it here on the Central Coast. Currently, I am in the Registered Nursing program at Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo. I've been a nursing assistant for roughly a year and a half, with most of my experience coming from the urgent care setting. I feel so blessed to be able to put my skills to use here at Face Lab while pursuing my dream of becoming a nurse.

I am very passionate about health and wellness. When I'm not at work or in school, you'll likely find me weightlifting, spending quality time with my family, walking my little french bulldog through the Village, or curled up with a good fantasy novel. One of my favorite parts of working in medicine is making sure that each person I come into contact with feels valued and seen, so I look forward to meeting each one of you next time you're in the office!
