MEET THE OWNER : MIRANDA FOSTER
Certified Medical Aesthetician, Laser Technician & Spray Tan Artist
The vision behind Meraki Medical Aesthetics is a culmination of my lifelong passion for beauty, skin health, and self-care. With over 18 years of experience in the aesthetics industry, I have dedicated my career to offering top-tier treatments while creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for every client. My mission is to transform the aesthetics experience by fostering a space where realism, self-love, and acceptance are at the forefront.
My journey began in Saskatchewan, where I started at the age of 13 as an aspiring aesthetician. After gaining hands-on experience and refining my skills, I graduated with honors from Eveline Charles Academy in 2013, where I earned my ITEC Diploma — an internationally recognized certification that highlights my commitment to excellence. Over the years, I have expanded my expertise through extensive training, workshops, and seminars, ensuring I stay at the cutting edge of industry advancements.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with physicians and gaining proficiency in advanced procedures such as acne resolution, tattoo removal, fractional laser resurfacing, and treatments for complex pigmentation issues. These experiences have deepened my understanding of how to address a variety of skin conditions effectively, helping me create personalized treatment plans tailored to each client’s unique needs.
My passion for skin care is deeply personal. Having faced my own struggles with cystic acne, pigmentation, and scarring, I understand the emotional impact that skin concerns can have. This personal journey has shaped my holistic approach to skin health, where I focus on treating both the internal and external aspects of skincare. By combining empathy with expertise, I strive to guide clients toward their best skin while boosting their confidence along the way. I look forward to guiding you on your journey to self-love and create the glowing skin you deserve!
