Our Team
Real people with real credentials.
Every injector is a registered nurse, every facial is performed by a licensed esthetician, and the practice is overseen by a nurse practitioner.
Our team
Stephanie Brady
Stephanie has been a nurse for over 15 years and moved into aesthetics about 5 years ago. She built Southern Bloom to be calm, beautiful, and welcoming, with no intimidation and no doctor-office feel, where you receive natural results from someone who treats you like a friend. Safety and education matter to her, and she spends her time off learning the newest, most effective treatments. A local in Mount Washington, she is married with four young children who are her world.
HER SIGNATURE, BALANCE AT BLOOM
"It gives me more than one tool to create the refreshed result you are looking for, and the change comes quickly. At 40-something myself, I am working through many of the same things my clients are."
PERSONALITY LINE
Monica Gollar
HER FAVORITE TREATMENT
"My favorites are the skin treatments, Morpheus8, IPL, and laser hair removal. I love how clearly the results show, and the moment a client sees her own skin looking clear and even again."
Monica is a registered nurse and aesthetic injector with a soft spot for skin. She is happiest when a treatment makes a visible, honest difference, the kind a client can see for herself in the mirror. Her approach is steady and natural: she listens first, treats for the result you actually want, and never pushes past it.
PERSONALITY LINE
Bailey Helmel
Bailey is a registered nurse and nurse injector who treats aesthetics as a journey rather than a single appointment. She listens, builds a plan around each face, and introduces people to treatment in a way that feels approachable and natural. Helping someone feel like the best version of herself, at any stage of life, is what keeps her in this work.
HER FAVORITE TREATMENT
"My favorite is neurotoxin, often the first step in someone's journey. What I love most is the confidence that follows. One client was sure it was too late to soften the lines bothering her. The bigger change was how she carried herself afterward."
PERSONALITY LINE
Amanda Patterson
With over 20 years of experience, Amanda was among the first Licensed Estheticians in Kentucky. Her career began in spa settings, with advanced training in Palm Beach, Florida, and a deep expertise in results-driven skincare. Her specialties include the VI Peel and SkinPen Microneedling, helping clients reach healthy, radiant skin with confidence.
HER FAVORITE TREATMENT
"My go-tos are the Glo Facial and Diolaze laser hair removal. The Glo Facial gives an instant glow with no downtime. I love taking dull, congested skin and, over a few visits, bringing it back to bright and clear."
