So when those long hours in the operating room began to feel like a relentless routine, I yearned for something more, something that filled me up from the inside out with meaning and worth.
So, I searched for something more, something that tickled my creative fancy and let me flex my aesthetic muscles.
Now, I've got a little secret. Well, not so secret anymore. You see, I've always been curious about aesthetics – those little tweaks and tricks that enhance our natural beauty. So, when the opportunity knocked, I answered with a resounding "hell yes!" And here we are, with Defy Aesthetic Boutique, a little haven that's become more than I ever dreamed of.
I've always been one to seek the extraordinary...

Oh,
Hello
Sure, some folks might see it that way, and hey, to each their own. But here's what I know in my bones: confidence is like a secret sauce. It seeps into every corner of our lives, making us better partners, friends, parents, and professionals.
You might be thinking, "Medspa? Vanity central, right?" Well, not in my book.
You know what I live for? Those moments when clients breeze out of here, confidence pulsating through their veins.
With almost two decades in the nursing realm, I've navigated the intense territories of ER and Cardiothoracic Intensive Care like a pro. Ten years ago, I delved into the world of anesthesia as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, mastering the art of safely guiding patients through diverse realms of unconsciousness.
In 2018, I donned the coveted title of Doctor of Nursing, an honor accompanied by the prestigious Jonas Nurse Scholar distinction. My educational journey has been a compass guiding me to new horizons, but it's not all about titles – it's about embracing my passions with fervor.
For the past few years, I've added aesthetics to my repertoire. Countless trainings, cadaver labs, and ongoing educational endeavors have led me here, where I can blend my artistic flair with my dedication to others' well-being. Aesthetics, for me, is about defying norms, challenging beauty standards, and rewriting the rules of aging.
Hi, I'm Susie
"She only offered me services I asked about, with no pressure for more"
This was my first time visiting a med spa. Susie was excellent, she talked me through all my concerns and answered all of my questions. She was very professional, didn't rush me, and spent the time I needed to feel comfortable. She only offered me services I asked about, with no pressure for more. She was highly knowledgeable and experienced. I am pleased with my experience and results. I will be going back and I highly recommend!
KIND WORDS
Hattie W.
I received my bachelors of science in Family and Consumer Science from Western Michigan University and completed my esthetician training in early 2022.
My love for skincare and finding integrative solutions is what brought me into the world of esthetics. Building the confidence of both myself and others is what drives my passion of product knowledge, the science behind ingredients, and the overall skin care and makeup application process itself.
Coming from a family of athletes and years of playing sports myself, skin issues were always something we've struggled with. I continually found myself leaning towards the medical side of esthetics to figure out how to give back to the skin and combat the effects from years of playing sports including congestion, dehydration, and sun damage.
The one thing I love most about esthetics is that it is constantly evolving and growing with new technologies and modalities. I believe that there is always an opportunity to learn something new. I'm eager and driven to continue my journey with the incredible team at Defy.
When I'm not at the office, you can always find me on the water. As a child, I spent my summers on my grandfather's boat in northern Michigan. Now, I get to share those same experiences with my own family, even on the same boat, right here in metro Detroit.
