Life is full of chapters; some chapters more interesting than others,乌鸦传媒� says Jennifer Lynch of Skin Sense Laser Aesthetics, and she乌鸦传媒檚 certainly had a few different chapters through her life.

A Kelowna resident since 2005, she乌鸦传媒檚 a wife and a mom to an 18-year-old daughter, a French bulldog and a Holland lop bunny. And she乌鸦传媒檚 in the midst of an entirely new career.

乌鸦传媒淚 worked for the RCMP for 18 years and took an early retirement due to severe PTSD from being exposed to a lot of terrible things,乌鸦传媒� she says. 乌鸦传媒淲hile getting my mind healthy and gaining back control of my life, I decided to take on something completely different, but something I乌鸦传媒檝e always been interested in.乌鸦传媒�

She partnered with Dr. Cory Brown to develop Skin Sense Laser Aesthetics. Jennifer, a medical aesthetician, treats clients with scarring, pigment disorders, sun damage, acne and wrinkles using a variety of applications, including ICON and TempSure lasers, intense pulse light, micro-needling and more.

乌鸦传媒淚 love that I乌鸦传媒檓 always learning and developing my mind and new skills,乌鸦传媒� she says. 乌鸦传媒淓qually gratifying is being able to apply everything I乌鸦传媒檝e learned to help people unlock the beauty they possess inside, and giving them the confidence to shine. I love working closely with each and every one of my clients, earning their trust and learning their stories. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing my clients乌鸦传媒� eyes light up when they see the beauty within themselves!乌鸦传媒�

The 7 Sins

Envy:

Whose shoes would you like to walk in?

If I have learned one thing over the last few years, it is to never want to be anyone other than the best version of myself. Social media tends to depict sensationalized or embellished portrayals of other people乌鸦传媒檚 lives, which is hard not to get caught up in. Finding confidence in who you are乌鸦传媒攁nd being able to love the person you are乌鸦传媒攈olds far more value than wanting to be something that isn乌鸦传媒檛 genuine.

Gluttony:

What is the food you could eat over and over again?

Charcuterie and a full-bodied red Okanagan wine!

Greed:

You乌鸦传媒檙e given $1 million that you have to spend selfishly. What would you spend it on?

Travel! I would love to travel through Italy, experiencing the culture, art, food and wines with my family.

Wrath:

Pet peeves?

When you park your vehicle far away from any other vehicle in a parking lot, and someone decides it would be a good idea to park right beside乌鸦传媒攕uper close to乌鸦传媒攖he only other vehicle around!

Sloth:

Where would you spend a long time doing nothing?

In bed curled up with my French bulldog, Eve, watching Netflix.

Pride:

What is the one thing you乌鸦传媒檙e secretly proud of?

I am so proud of my resilient little family. No matter what life event is thrown at us, we have stood by each other and persevered. And because of it, we have shared an incredible life together.

Lust:

What makes your heart beat faster?

It definitely doesn乌鸦传媒檛 fit the description of 乌鸦传媒渓ust,乌鸦传媒� but what makes my heart beat faster is cooking an amazing meal for family and friends, bringing us all together.
