MEET THE OWNER : MIRANDA FOSTER

Certified Medical Aesthetician, Laser Technician & Spray Tan Artist
The creation of Meraki Medical Aesthetics has been a long-cherished dream of mine. My vision has always been to create a space where every client feels safe, welcome, and valued. My mission is to redefine conventional beauty standards by introducing realism, self-love, and acceptance into the aesthetics industry. At Meraki, we celebrate individuality and reject the pressures to conform to predefined notions of beauty. Here, every client is embraced for their unique beauty, free from judgment and expectation. We welcome individuals of all genders, sizes, races, and preferences in this inclusive and supportive environment.

With over 18 years of experience, I have built a reputation for exceptional customer satisfaction, superior service, and industry credibility. My journey began at the age of 13 in my hometown of Saskatchewan as an aesthetician. In 2013, I advanced my career by graduating with honours from Eveline Charles Academy and earning an ITEC Diploma, which certifies me to uphold high standards of excellence globally.

Throughout my career, I have continually refined my skills through extensive training, seminars, and staying informed of the latest advancements in aesthetics. My experience includes working with physicians and mastering advanced techniques such as tattoo removal, fractional laser resurfacing, and complex pigmentation treatments.

My passions are deeply rooted in advanced skin care, skin transformations, and laser treatments. I specialize in addressing various skin conditions, drawing from my personal journey with cystic acne, pigmentation, and scarring. Having faced these challenges myself as a young teen and into adulthood, I understand firsthand the emotional and physical impact of skin issues.

Through my own experiences, I’ve explored numerous products, treatments, and medications, gaining valuable insights into what truly works. This personal journey inspired me to deepen my knowledge of skin health and adopt a holistic approach to treatment. My goal is to address skin concerns from the inside out, combining my expertise with empathy to help others achieve their best skin.

If you seek a safe, attentive environment that prioritizes your skin goals and listens to your concerns, Meraki Medical Aesthetics is here for you. I take immense pride in my work and am dedicated to inspiring confidence in each client. I look forward to the opportunity to pamper you and embark on this journey together.
