Angela Lamothe, APRN
Windham NH, & Norfolk, VA Locations
Angela Lamothe is a Board certified Family Nurse practitioner. She has over 20 years of nursing experience and has been an NP for over 10 years. Early in her career as an LPN, Angela knew she wanted to continue her education and work to promote clinical excellence. She went on to earn her bachelor's and master's degrees from Rivier University and graduated with high distinction. Her specialties have included medical-surgical nursing, cardiology, perioperative medicine, Gastroenterology, and esthetics.
As a nurse practitioner, her treatment plans are focused on promoting health and prevention of illness, and in the esthetic industry, she feels this is just as important. She loves to work with patients to address their anti-aging goals as well as address any specific concerns they have whether it be acne, acne scaring, lesions, or fine lines. With her years of experience, she has learned that patients' emotional self is optimized when they feel good in their skin.

Ashley Penta, RN, BSN
Peabody MA Location
Ashley earned her BSN in 2015 at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. While working as a heart transplant/failure RN, she became inspired over time by her patients and the adversities she watched them face first-handedly. Her passion became caring for each person as a holistic whole; inside and out: Mind, Body, and Spirit. Aesthetic Nursing gave her that opportunity and she pursued its journey. Ashley started InjectZEN, a medical spa in Peabody MA, in 2019 to create a safe space for clients. Having a safe space allows her clients to come forward openly with their vulnerabilities, insecurities, and struggles, while walking away feeling confident and beautiful in their own unique way.
