Your Name: Jeannette Ortiz, BSN-RN

Business Name: Wallflower Beauty & Wellness

Town/Neighborhood: Gilbert

Hours of operation: By appointment, Monday-Saturday.

Personal background highlights: I worked in Pharmacy for 23 years before going back to school for my bachelor degree in nursing 2015.  I received my certified nurse injector license shortly after and have owned my aesthetics practice since 2018. I run my practice full time and partner with several high profile providers in the industry.

What I do: I’m a certified aesthetic nurse injector. I specialize in Botox, fillers, and medical grade skin interventions for men & women.

What I like most about doing business here: I’m passionate about connecting with my clients and providing solution to help them feel confident in their skin.

Changes I’d like to see in this area: I’d love to see more oversight in the industry to make sure rules abd requirements are being met to keep our community and clients safe.

What am I promoting: New clients to my practice receive $50 off their first treatment and the opportunity to earn referral bonuses.

What I’m excited about and why: I’m exited to bring safety, customer service, and amazing results to my clients in a no pressure environment.

When I started my business/employment here: I stated my aesthetics practice in 2018.

Where was before and why I left: I worked as a RN at Honor Health for six years before transitioning full time into medical injections/aethetics.

My family: I’m been married since 2001 and have a son and daughter, both in high school. We’ve been part of the Gilbert area since 1998.

My interests & hobbies: I’m a lifelong learner with a passion for the outdoors and self-improvement. I love travel and spending time with family and friends.

People who inspire me (and how): Honestly, one of the biggest impacts on me is Mel Robbins. Her motivational  style and honest approach helped me love myself enough to pursue my goals and reach for the stars.

My guiding philosophy: Treating people how I’d want to be treated by being open, honest, and congruent.

My advice to today’s youth: I’d say, pursue your dreams early, don’t hesitate to ask for help, don’t be fearful of mistakes.

Why I choose to start this business: I chose to start my practice because I wanted a comfortable place where everyone would feel welcome and included when seeking to improve themselves. Making everyone feel welcome and valued in an environment that can seem intimidating.

How my business supports the community: I love soccer and frequently sponsor female soccer teams within the community. This funding supports their goals of playing soccer in college and beyond.
