Aesthetics and health and wellness are a life-long passion for Kimberly Canaday.
With a deep medical background, including board certification as an Adult Nurse Practitioner, she brings science-based, safe, and effective practices to bear in her practice, Imagine Natural Beauty, helping people in Sisters look and feel their best.
Kimberly Canaday brings a deep medical background to bear on her passion for aesthetics and health and wellness.
"Helping people - that's what drove me into medicine in the first place," she told The Nugget. "How people feel about themselves is so core to their health and well-being. To look their best, I think, is what (clients) initially come in for. That can influence other choices you make, how you take care of your body. I think it's all connected."
Imagine Natural Beauty offers a full range of services, from botox, to micro needling, to chemical peels, to Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) treatments that use the client's own blood to generate a fibrin matrix that releases growth factors.
"There's nothing smarter than the body's own repair system," Candy says of PRF treatment.
Canaday offers a complementary consultation to help determine a client's needs and develop a plan of action. Sometimes, different modalities are applied at different times to produce the best results. The "natural" aspect of the work is important to Canaday - she wants to help her clients enhance their own natural beauty.
That consultation is honest, and Canaday will tell a client if she doesn't think they need the treatment they think they want.
"I feel there's an ethical way of doing cosmetics that gets drowned out a little bit," Canaday said.
With her medical background and command of anatomy, Canaday can work safely with her clients, manage expectations realistically, and create a plan for achieving desired goals.
"I don't see people as dollar signs, I see them as relationships," Canaday said.
Canaday has lived in Sisters for the past decade, commuting to Bend for work. She had been living in Napa, California, when she met her husband, Bob Canaday, and they moved to Eugene.
"I made it about four years in Eugene, but I couldn't do the nine months of gray," she said.
The couple moved to Sisters, and Canaday found work in the medical field, initially as a cardiology nurse.
"I did cardiology for two years, and then I did aesthetics for eight," she said.
She opened her solo practice in Sisters in May, located at 473 W. Hood Ave., Suite 101.
"I knew I wanted to create my own space and be in charge of my services and how I do it," she said.
She is looking forward to being more immersed in the Sisters community.
