OUR FOUNDERS

April Russell, ADN, RN

I've been a nurse for 17 years, with the past 8 spent as a nurse injector, the others in the ICU and GI lab -- and I truly love what I do. Helping people feel confident and happy in their own skin is such a rewarding part of my work. I take pride in offering the best care possible and always stay up to date on new techniques, products, and services to better serve my clients. I also love teaching and sharing what I've learned over the years, whether it's with my clients or fellow nurses. This career has given me the chance to combine my passion for aesthetics with my love of helping others -- and I couldn't ask for more.

Page Manry, BSN, RN

I began my nursing career at 21 years old in April 2021, working in the ER during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic. While this was a valuable experience, I quickly realized that emergency medicine wasn’t my passion. I transitioned to a local, privately-owned ER, where I had previously worked as a medical scribe during nursing school. However, I still knew it wasn’t the perfect fit. I soon discovered the world of aesthetics, and it immediately clicked. I knew right away that this was the path I was made for. In October 2022, I earned my aesthetics certification from the National Laser Institute and began injecting shortly after. Since then, I’ve found my calling for enhancing natural beauty rather than re-creating it. I absolutely love helping people look and feel like the best versions of themselves.

TAMMY SMITH, LMT

Hi, I’m Tammy! I am a massage therapist at Bliss Aesthetics! I started receiving massages for myself on a regular basis after my own injury around 2010. After realizing the positive effect massage had on me and noticing the difference it has made for my mind and body connection, I decided to study to become a LMT in 2014.

My philosophy is simple: I believe, inherently, that massage can optimize your innate health and well-being. I try to facilitate the natural healing process by listening to my client’s particular needs. I will be working collaboratively with you to develop an individualized treatment plan that enhances your experience.

My mission is to provide focused massage therapy by continuously listening to my clients and tailoring every treatment with your needs in mind. I will do this in a friendly, professional manner, within a safe, clean and inviting setting. I believe my role is to not only achieve positive results, but to also empower each of my clients with knowledge about their bodies and what they can do to enhance their own well-being.
