Laura Quick

Office Manager

Prior to working at The Downtown Wellness Spa Laura worked as a dental assistant at an Oral Surgery office for 21 years. She had many roles there and one was working with the Facial Cosmetic Surgeon. She absolutely loved working with the clients and seeing their smiles after the procedures were completed. Everyone just had such a positive outcome and a new glowing look! She knew after working with the clients that this was the fit for her. A wonderful opportunity presented itself here at The Downtown Wellness Spa and she left the dental field. Laura is amazed how a little botox, filler and products can drop the years and reverse the look of aging. As women we need to feel beautiful and sometimes a little product can go a long way. To be able to work somewhere that not only helps people feel beautiful on the outside, but makes them feel better internally is amazing.
