Dr. Hooker received her doctorate from Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Arizona. Being well trained in conventional and holistic medicine has given her a well-rounded view point as an integrative practitioner and an added advantage allowing her to become an expert in anti­aging medicine. With over 12 years in the Aesthetic industry her vast knowledge has allowed her to oversee various clinics as medical director and to treat hundreds of patients. Dr. Hooker’s passion for knowledge and education is what motivates her to constantly seek out new information and treatments to continually improve her skills providing the best care for her patients. Many have often heard her say “Knowledge is not meant to be kept to yourself, if you know something that another can benefit from it’s your responsibility to share the wealth!” Referring to herself as a “true educator at heart” she has always taken the time and effort to share her knowledge with her patients in addition to teaching various classes at different educational facilities since the beginning of her career.

“Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art.”
