Marie Rivera, APRN

Marie Rivera, APRN is our newest addition to Santé, specializing in aesthetic medicine with a focus on natural-looking facial and body enhancements. Her passion is in working with each individual person to create a holistic plan to become their most authentic, beautiful, and confident self. She is originally from New York where she completed her bachelor’s in nursing and psychology. She is also a board-certified Adult Gerontological Acute Care Nurse Practitioner and a Summa Cum Laude graduate of the University of Miami.

Her 12 years of experience in intensive care left Marie wanting to branch out into a field of medicine where she could form lasting relationships with her clients. She began shadowing in the fields of aesthetics and plastics, attending training seminars, and conferences, which soon became a passion- alright, an obsession. Living in South Florida, Marie focused her attention on the bustling world of medical aesthetics, learning from experts from all over the world, and honed her skills to offer niche and unique procedures. In 2019 she stepped outside of critical care to offer the latest and greatest aesthetic treatments to her community. However, when Marie came to Oregon as crisis response during the Covid pandemic, she easily fell in love with Oregon and decided to make it her home. 

Marie has joined Santé as a successful aesthetic nurse practitioner. She performs cosmetic and therapeutic neurotoxin procedures, face and body dermal fillers, nonsurgical face, neck, and body lifting with threads, biostimulating injectables and implants, plasma treatments, and is a skin health enthusiast. Her favorite procedures are facial balancing and body contouring. She has joined Santé to continue building abundant client relationships here at Santé based on comfortable procedures with incredible results. 

In her free time Marie enjoys starting home projects and rarely finishing them, attending trainings and conferences in medical aesthetics, hiking with her dog, chasing waterfalls, learning to ski (wish her luck!), and now exploring the incredible food and art scene in the Pacific Northwest.
