With a nineteen-year background in cardiac surgery, trauma and intensive care, Advanced Practice Registered Nurse Jeanna Parker knows how to expertly handle a variety of medical situations. Jeanna earned her BSN and her Master’s Degree in Nursing from Florida Southern College. She decided to pursue the area of aesthetic medicine in 2013 and received extensive training at the renowned Esthetic Skin Institute in Fort Lauderdale Fl.
Jeanna is an experienced facial rejuvenation artist and holds certifications in advanced neurotoxin, dermal filler, and Sculptra injections. She also holds certifications in CO2 laser resurfacing, vaginal rejuvenation, laser hair and tattoo removal, numerous body sculpting
platforms, radiofrequency microneedling and carboxytherapy. Jeanna is also a clinical trainer for Lumenis, with her business being named a Center of Excellence in 2020.
As the co-owner of Bella Viságe Medical & Aesthetic Rejuvenation, Jeanna takes great pride in her work, as well as her relationship with her team, her clients and the Lakeland community of small businesses. Her vision with Bella Viságe was to create a beautiful, relaxing place where her clients could be pampered and cared for with personalized treatment plans. She put together a team of professionals with the goal of creating the best experience for her clients, in the heart of historic Downtown Lakeland.
Megan joined the Bella Team in February of 2022. She graduated from University of Central Florida, in August of 2022, with her B.S. in General Psychology. She is Lakeland born and raised and has always been a makeup lover since she was little. Her love for the world of cosmetics eventually expanded into the aesthetics industry. She had been coming to Bella as a client for a few months when she inquired about the Front Desk openings. She wanted to work somewhere where the environment was positive and encouraging of others. Megan’s business mindset and organizational skills moved her from Front Desk into her role as Marketing Manager before the year ended! She now runs our socials, email campaigns, service/product reports, and more! She is a mom to two cats and she lives with four; BIG CAT LOVER!
Michelle joined the Bella team 6 years ago as a receptionist while completing her Aesthetician training. She is not only our Lead Aesthetician but also serves as our Director of Aesthetics. “It’s the best feeling to come into work everyday knowing that I love what I do and who I work for. Sorry Mark & Jeanna… you’re stuck with me (Michelle)!” Before being an Aesthetician, Michelle worked at a series of different chain restaurants while she was in highschool and taking college classes. The last one was Chick-fil-A, where she learned her extraordinary customer service skills and why she still unconsciously responds “my pleasure” to anyone who thanks her. She attended Ridge Technical Academy in Winter Haven and has held a Facial Specialist License for over 5 years.
Michelle is also trained in Microblading/Microshading and has held a Tattoo Artist License for over 4 years. She chose to be an Aesthetician because she was very interested in doing make-up professionally for weddings, proms, etc. As she was in school, she became more interested in skin/skincare and grew to love making people feel beautiful in their skin. It can be a very rewarding profession once you see those amazing before and afters! Michelle continued her love for make-up by becoming skilled in microblading/microshading and adopting that as her signature craft.
How did our lovely Michelle even find us?? Michelle was in school to be an Aesthetician, leaving her resume at multiple spas/salons that she would come across. One day she was getting her hair done next door at Liquid Hair Studio, her stylist was telling her about Bella Viságe and how it would be a lovely place to get her foot in the door. She took her stylists advice and after her appointment she went to grab the one resume she had in her car, walked in, introduced herself to the woman at the desk, and left her information. She received a call the next day from Jeanna for an interview and the rest is history!
Fun fact! Michelle gave birth to her first born in January and she has just come back from maternity leave. His name is Michael Aaron Wilson Jr. and she is loving being his momma and entering this new chapter of her life.
Ashley is a Florida native and a board certified adult gerontology advanced practice nurse. She began her career in nursing, working in the intensive care unit. She has practiced in various areas of nursing including the operating room, chronic and acute care, vascular procedure, and most recently Aesthetic medicine. Ashley received her Bachelors from the University of South Florida in 2007 and her Masters of Science in Nursing from Florida Southern College in 2015. Ashley’s combination of clinical education and experience provided a strong foundation to allow her to excel in aesthetic medicine. Ashley has made it her mission to keep up with the newest and most advanced techniques in aesthetics. Ashley prides herself in listening to each clients’ goals of treatment and bringing their goals to fruition. She also likes to counsel/educate clients on skin care and prevention of premature aging. Away from the office Ashley loves to try new foods, travel, learn, and spend time with friends and family including her husband Steve, their four children, and their family dog.
Michaela has lived in Lakeland her whole life (21 years that is)! She attended Mckeel High School and before finding Bella, she worked at Chick-fil-A for five years; WOW! She always brings a smile with her each day and her positive attitude is reflected as she greets clients for their services! Michaela heard about Bella through a friend, and decided to apply because she wanted to work with a team of Boss Women. She was a perfect match!
Fun Fact: “I am married to my best friend, and we love to travel, try new things to eat, and photography (Michaela)!!”
Ashleigh is our Girl’s Girl, passionate about beauty, aesthetics and serving others! She attended Artistic Nails and Beauty in Lakeland, where she graduated with her Aesthetic License. She has lived in Florida for 10 years, but is originally from Somerville Tennessee, a small town of (at the time) only about 2,500 people. Prior to joining the Bella team, she worked at Coldwell Banker as a Realtor and in an office at Lakeland Regional Hospital. Her mom had been a long-standing client with us, which led to Ashleigh taking up an interest in working here. When she discovered we were hiring for Front Desk, she was determined to get her foot in the door before attaining her Aesthetic License. She began her journey at Bella Viságe as Front Desk Guest Services in May of 2021. Since then, Ashleigh has transitioned from Front Desk to Medical Assistant, into her role as a Licensed Aesthetician. She always brings a positive mindset and energy with her, and that is reflected in the room with her clients. A fun fact about Ashleigh is that she is named after both of her grandmas, (Leigh & Camille) which are named after their grandmas, and named after their grandmas; it just keeps going!
Our beautiful and fun loving Aesthetician, Amberlyn, knew as soon as she walked through Bella’s doors, that this is the place she wanted to hang her hat. As we sprung into the 2023 New Year, Amberlyn joined the Bella Team and we are ecstatic to watch her grow! She worked at Massage Envy prior and she is an alumni of Aveda Institute, where she attained her license as a Full Specialist Aesthetician. She grew up in Plant City and made the move to Lakeland to get a change of scenery. Her interest in the industry originated in cosmetics, but transitioned to aesthetics because she wanted to learn how to manage her eczema and achieve a radiant complexion without the use of makeup. Amberlyn has a passion for sharing what she learns with others! She is a kitty mommy of two, recently engaged and her favorite part of a facial is hot towels.
Irina’s relationship with Bella Viságe began as a client in 2019. One day we were racking our brains to find a Spanish-speaking receptionist and we thought about Irina. We quickly asked her to join the team, as her professionalism and business mindset was apparent, even though she was still in high school at the time. Since her first day, she has gone above and beyond for our clients and her coworkers. Her attention to detail and truly caring demeanor with clients and spa operations is remarkable.
Irina is the epitome of the Ritz-Carlton level of customer service that we strive to achieve at Bella Viságe. She serves as our Director of Spa Operations and the Supervisor of our Guest Relations Team, and we couldn’t be more proud of her growth.
She is a native to Florida who enjoys time with family and pets – SHE HAS FAINTING GOATS. Currently, Irina is advancing her career with business management courses while also studying to become a business owner at Polk State College.
Did you know “Jamila” in Arabic means “beautiful”?

Jamila is extremely passionate about the world of aesthetics and natural beauty. After 10 years of being a Florida Nurse in the nursing home setting, she graduated with her Master’s Degree of Science in Nursing from Walden University.
As Bella has grown, we recognized the need to have a Nurse Practitioner that specializes in laser technologies. Jamila came with experience from another laser medical spa, but she was craving an environment where she could have the freedom to treat clients appropriately with the best lasers in the industry. Being a woman of color, she takes pride in the fact that she can deliver stellar laser results to other women of color, without the fear of being inappropriately treated or burned.
We were ecstatic to welcome Jamila to the Bella Team! She makes the Bella Experience beyond satisfying for each one of her clients, as evidenced by her growing collection of 5-star Google reviews. Jamila is professional, attentive, and motivated by her love for the industry! As an aesthetics and beauty lover, Jamila has found her home at Bella Viságe!
