Meet ANA, APRN, FNP-BC
Aesthetic & Wellness Nurse Practitioner
Natural results. Personalized care. Confidence that still feels like you.
Positive, outgoing, and genuinely invested in the people she treats, Ana brings a relationship-first approach to aesthetics and wellness at AURSPA. With seven years of nursing experience and continued education in aesthetic medicine and wellness, she combines clinical expertise with an eye for creating natural, balanced results.
Ana is certified in neuromodulators and dermal fillers and especially loves facial balancing—the art of creating harmony between features without taking away what makes someone uniquely themselves. For her, aesthetic treatments aren’t about changing the way you look. They’re about enhancing what’s already there and helping you feel like the most confident version of you.
That same philosophy carries into her approach to wellness. Whether she’s helping someone refine their features or supporting a patient through their weight loss journey, Ana loves getting to know the person behind the treatment, understanding their goals, and celebrating their progress along the way.
Get to Know Ana
Go-to treatment to perform: Facial balancing! I love creating harmony between someone’s features while keeping the results natural, personalized, and true to them.
Her aesthetic philosophy: Aesthetic treatments don’t have to look overdone. My goal is to enhance and balance your natural features while making sure you still look like yourself.
A transformation she loves celebrating: Watching a patient reach their goal weight. Being part of that journey and seeing their confidence grow along the way is incredibly rewarding.
The vibe she brings to AURSPA: Positive, outgoing, and fun. I love getting to know my patients personally and creating relationships that go beyond their appointment.
When she’s not at the spa: I’m probably spending time with my family and playing with my daughter—or traveling, going to a concert, hitting the beach, or hunting for shark teeth.
What makes her day: Helping someone leave feeling more confident and like the best version of themselves. Getting to know my patients and being part of that journey is what I love most about what I do.

Born and raised in Louisiana, Wendy Barnhill brought her Southern warmth and dedication to Florida in 2005 when she transitioned from personal fitness training into the field of aesthetics and skincare. Her passion for helping others look and feel their best quickly became the foundation of a thriving career spanning more than 22 years in dermatology and aesthetic medicine.
Wendy earned her aesthetician license from North Florida Cosmetology School in Tallahassee in 2006.

Throughout her career, Wendy has served in a variety of clinical roles, including Medical and Surgical Assistant, gaining extensive experience in dermatology, Mohs surgery, plastic surgery, and vascular surgery.

Having performed more than 25,000 treatments, Wendy has developed exceptional expertise in treating a wide range of skin concerns, including pigmentation disorders, acne, rosacea, scarring, unwanted hair, and age-related skin changes. She is highly skilled in working with all skin types and is knowledgeable in both medical-grade and over-the-counter skincare products, as well as a variety of laser platforms.
In addition to being a licensed aesthetician and electrologist, Wendy is also a Medical Assistant, licensed Phlebotomist, and certified Laser Safety Officer. She is recognized as a ZO® Skin Health expert and has earned numerous professional distinctions throughout her career. Notably, she was nominated as one of Florida’s Top Two Aestheticians by Obagi Medical, which led to her appointment on the Obagi Skin Care Research Board, where she evaluated products prior to their release. More recently, she was honored with a nomination as one of LinkedIn’s Top Influential Women.
Above all, Wendy is passionate about patient care and believes in delivering personalized treatment plans that help patients achieve healthy, confident skin. She combines decades of hands-on experience with the latest advancements in aesthetic medicine to consistently deliver exceptional results.

Proud of her Louisiana roots, she considers herself an accomplished Cajun cook and loves sharing that passion with family and friends. She also enjoys working out, swimming, and spending time with her two beloved fur babies. As always, she’s looking forward to her next adventure and hopes to explore even more destinations in the coming year.
Meet Ethan
Front Desk Coordinator | Client Experience Specialist | Spa Services Enthusiast
Ethan is one of the friendly and familiar faces who greets guests at the front desk of Aurspa, a leading Oakleaf Plantation spa known for its relaxing environment, expert staff, and high-end skincare and body treatments. For over six months, Ethan has helped ensure that every client’s visit is smooth, welcoming, and stress-free—from the moment they walk in to the moment they float out.
While he’s not a service provider himself, Ethan is passionate about the treatments Aurspa offers and has tried many firsthand. His personal favorites include the one-hour massage and the deluxe Hydrafacial—two of the most sought-after spa services in the area. Always happy to share, Ethan loves chatting with guests about his own results and helping them feel confident and informed when exploring new services.
Ethan is known for his warm energy, great conversations, and genuine interest in each client’s wellness journey.

With the guidance of the Aurspa team, he’s gained a deeper understanding of skincare products, facials, massage therapy, and overall wellness—knowledge he’s grateful for and eager to pass along.
Outside the spa, Ethan is a student at UNF and a creative soul who enjoys watercolor painting and swimming. He loves a good Florida nature escape and highly recommends visiting Crystal River during the winter.
