From Nurse to Aesthetic Boss: Grace’s Journey
As I continue to speak with incredible practitioners who are part of CloudMedSpas, I am constantly reminded of why we do what we do. Today, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Grace Tumann, the founder of Aging with Grace, who has built an inspiring career in aesthetics while balancing work, family, and personal growth.
Like many nurses, Grace spent years working bedside in pediatrics, oncology, and stem cell transplant. But something was missing. Every few years, she found herself looking for new challenges—searching for something more. She wanted freedom, flexibility, and the ability to build something of her own.
Her journey into aesthetics wasn’t conventional. It wasn’t easy. But it was worth it.
The Leap into Aesthetics
Grace’s journey into aesthetics started with a simple yet powerful realization—she loved the way aesthetic medicine made her feel. After having her second child, she looked in the mirror and saw the impact that time and stress had taken on her skin. She tried Botox for the first time and immediately knew this was something she wanted to be a part of.
But like many aspiring aesthetic injectors, she quickly discovered the biggest roadblock—experience.
“I updated my resume and tried to get it out there, but nobody was interested. I was an experienced nurse, but I was new to aesthetics. And they all wanted experience.”
Sound familiar? This is the struggle so many nurses face. They have the passion, the skills, and the drive—but getting a foot in the door feels impossible.
That’s when Grace found CloudMedSpas.
A conversation with Jay Erazo from Advancing Aesthetics changed everything.
“Have you ever thought about owning your own business?”
At first, the idea seemed crazy. Entrepreneurship? Running her own business? She had never considered it. But then she attended an open house, met our team, and realized something important:
This wasn’t just about running a business. It was about taking control of her career, her time, and her future.
Starting Small, Growing Smart
One of the biggest advantages of CloudMedSpas is that practitioners don’t have to take huge financial risks to get started. Grace didn’t need to open her own brick-and-mortar location or invest in expensive equipment.
Instead, she was able to start slow, focus on mastering her craft, and build confidence in a supportive environment.
“I still work my hospital job. I still juggle childcare. But the beauty of this model is that I get to go at my own pace. It’s my business. My name. I take a lot of pride in that.”
Unlike traditional med spas that push practitioners into performing dozens of treatments immediately, Grace was able to start with neurotoxin injections, perfect her technique, and slowly expand her services to include PRP, microneedling, and more.
This self-paced growth gave her the confidence to become the safest, most skilled injector possible—without feeling overwhelmed.
Finding Clients: The Power of Word-of-Mouth & Community
One of the biggest concerns new injectors have is client acquisition. Where will their patients come from? How long does it take to build a steady flow of bookings?
For Grace, the answer wasn’t instant success—it was consistent effort.
“Some people hit the ground running. For me, it was more of a slow roll. I relied on friends, family, word-of-mouth, and repeat clients. It wasn’t about getting 20 new patients overnight—it was about keeping the ones I had.”
She started small, relied on her hype girls (loyal clients who referred friends), and made sure every patient experience was exceptional.
“It’s not just about getting new clients—it’s about keeping them. My repeat patients are what sustain my business.”
With CloudMedSpas, Grace had access to a thriving community of like-minded professionals—people who supported each other, shared resources, and helped one another grow.
That’s what makes CloudMedSpas different.
The Support System That Changed Everything
For any practitioner considering a career in aesthetics, one of the biggest challenges is figuring it all out alone.
But Grace didn’t have to.
With CloudMedSpas, she had:
A medical director who provided guidance & mentorship
A network of experienced injectors to learn from
Access to top-tier equipment without the financial burden
A community that made her feel supported, not isolated
“You never want to send a new nurse onto a hospital floor without training—so why would you send a new injector into aesthetics without support?”
Having mentors, guidance, and access to high-quality training made all the difference.
Why CloudMedSpas is the Perfect Fit for Nurses Looking to Transition into Aesthetics
Many nurses hesitate to enter aesthetics because they think they need to be full-time entrepreneurs.
That’s not the case.
Grace is proof that you can integrate aesthetics into your life at your own pace.
Some weeks, she works two hours. Other weeks, she works twenty. The beauty of CloudMedSpas is that it gives practitioners the freedom to build their business on their terms.
“It’s a hustle, yes. But it’s my hustle. And I wouldn’t change it for the world.”
If you’re a nurse looking to break into aesthetics but don’t know where to start, CloudMedSpas is here to guide you every step of the way.
Start slow. Build your confidence. Grow at your own pace.
And most importantly—don’t let fear hold you back.
