Equipped with a Bachelor's degree in Nursing from the University of Lethbridge, she transitioned from the fast-paced environment of the Emergency Department to the world of cosmetic surgery, where she discovered her passion for enhancing natural beauty. In 2017, Kimber realized her vision with the establishment of Frida Beauty Bar, a sanctuary that redefines the traditional medical spa experience by prioritizing personalized care and fostering a welcoming atmosphere.

Karly Morningstar

Nurse Injector | Educator | On Maternity Leave

Before working as a nurse injector, Karly worked full-time in the Emergency Department. Karly was drawn to cosmetic nursing as it allowed her to be more creative and artistic within her nursing career while still "helping" people in an alternative way than in a clinical setting. The ability to help clients feel confident in their skin is highly rewarding for Karly, and her love for injecting continues to grow.

Another reason Karly loves nurse injecting is that the injecting world is consistently growing with new research and developments, creating endless learning opportunities for personal and career growth.

Hear from our past students

Dr. Amanda Schreiner

Physician

As a physician, I have taken a lot of courses over the past 7 years and I haven't encountered many gems. The Academy course is a true gem! I was so impressed by every little detail. I have to comment first on the content of the course. I think learners truly benefit from having a foundational course that starts at the very basics assuming nothing about prior knowledge. We can all stand to review our basics and it is probably this foundational learning that makes us best in our fields. I do believe that knowing one's physiology and anatomy is crucial, in order to become truly proficient as an injector and to take care of our patients in the safest manner possible. The hands-on learning gained in the course from having the opportunity to work with clients as well as watching others interact with clients is invaluable. The hands-on portion of the course is one of the most encouraging factors for continuing onwards in the profession and knowing that, yes, I can safely and creatively serve clients in their medical aesthetics journey.

I never felt awkward asking a single question. I felt so inspired by the wealth of information that the group had to offer around the medical practice of aesthetics and was truly appreciative of the expertise offered by Julianne surrounding the business and marketing aspect of venturing into aesthetic injectables.

Dr. Tessa Van Rooi

Physician

As a Family Doctor, I embarked on this course with a keen interest in expanding my skill set, and I must say, the knowledge and hands-on training surpassed my expectations.

The course was not only comprehensive but also highly interactive, providing a perfect balance of theoretical insights and practical application. Kimber exhibited a wealth of expertise and a passion for teaching that truly set this course apart. Her ability to simplify complex concepts and guide us through the intricacies of Botox and filler injections was commendable.

The hands-on training sessions were a game-changer for me. The opportunity to practice under the guidance of skilled professionals not only boosted my confidence but also refined my technique. The live demonstrations allowed us to witness real-world scenarios and challenges, preparing us for the dynamic nature of aesthetic procedures.

The course’s focus on safety, ethical practices, and patient care was particularly reassuring. Understanding the importance of client consultation, proper injection techniques, and post-treatment care has significantly elevated my approach to aesthetic procedures.

Elise Oko

Registered Nurse

The Frida Academy was the best course I have ever taken. It caters to so many styles of learning with an abundance of hands-on training. Being able to inject real models, on multiple occasions, has made me more confident moving forward in the profession. All the staff were amazing in their roles and worked well as a team. Kimber, the course educator, is fantastic. She has such a positive attitude and fosters the most welcoming environment. Her knowledge is profound and able to articular complex concepts in a clear and precise manner.

They offer advantageous information on the business side of being a nurse injector, again promoting more comfortability going into the industry. This team has put together so much excellent information, readily accessible to students, to help facilitate learning throughout the course, and thereafter. Would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning about the field and becoming certified.

Michelle Mannion

Registered Nurse | Owner of The Medical Collective

What an incredible experience! I have been dreaming of becoming an injector for a long time, and Frida Academy has helped make this dream become a reality. Frida Academy has got to be the best course I have ever taken! I highly recommend this course to any new or experienced injector! It suited my personal learning style with both classroom learning and hands-on experience.

The organization and provided materials were next level. I was able to use these resources throughout the three days easily, and it was straightforward to follow. Both Karly and Kimber provided a safe and comfortable learning experience for everyone involved! As a new injector, I was very nervous to start injecting the models, but they provided such clear and helpful direction with every step of the way. I left the academy with new friends and so much more confidence in my own skills and abilities. This course ignited the passion I have for the beauty/medical world. I cannot thank the Frida Family enough.
