Meet Jillian

Aviva Wellness & Aesthetics is led by Jillian Kavanagh, MSN, FNP-C, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with more than a decade of experience in surgical and advanced clinical care.

Jillian’s background includes medical-surgical nursing, cardiovascular and thoracic surgery, and working as a Spine Surgery Nurse Practitioner where she saw firsthand how difficult it could be for patients to access timely, thoughtful care.

During her time working in a med spa, she discovered a passion for aesthetics rooted in natural results and patient education.

That experience shaped Aviva Glow: a boutique practice where safety, intention, and trust guide every treatment.

The name Aviva means fresh, new, and spring-like: a reflection of renewal, growth, and thoughtful transformation. It represents our belief that aesthetic care should feel empowering, restorative, and aligned with your life, not something you feel pressured into.

Whether you’re new to aesthetics or refining your routine, Aviva Wellness & Aesthetics is here to guide you with clarity, care, and expertise.

Our approach is simple: listen first, educate clearly, and recommend only what truly supports your goals.

“Great experience! Jillian is very knowledgeable about every single thing she offers and is able to explain all your options to you, while listening to what you are wanting, and thus able to honestly help guide you to the best treatment option without ever pressuring or talking you into anything ever. She also reached out after treatments to see how I was doing/ healing because she genuinely cares about her clients. Aviva is super cute and very clean and the online booking was super easy. Would recommend!”
