Modern Aesthetic Centers

​How did you have the idea to open 
Modern Aesthetic Centers in St. Johns?


Born and raised in the greater Jacksonville community, we started to notice a growth in the medical spa business over the last few years. With our backgrounds in the aesthetics and wellness industry, Paul and I wanted to bring something significant to the table and open our first center in the Saint Johns community. We know that we have to look at our clients as a whole, not just offer treatments to enhance their look. We have a growing service list for wellness offering to address the internal health of our clients and their overall wellbeing.  

When did you open your business? 

We opened Modern Aesthetic Centers in November of this year, 2022.

What are some of the unique 
services you provide?


We offer a few unique services that sets us apart from a traditional medical spa. One of those services is hormone replacement therapy, which consists of running a full lab panel and assessing if a client is a good candidate for hormone replacement. If so, we prescribe hormones to put them back in balance, which significantly changes their lives. It treats hot flashes, increases energy levels, increases libido and treats mood swings, just to name a few.

Another unique service we offer is skin rejuvenation with the addition of PRF and exosomes. These are cutting edge offering which dramatically increase collagen and elastin, resulting in visible reduction of wrinkles, age spots, skin brightness and firmness immediately and continuously as over time.

​Who are your team members and what do they bring to the table?

Our team members are remarkable. Tanya Temple is our Nurse Practioner. Her background in dermatology sets her apart from most aesthetic injectors, as she assesses and treats her clients skin health concerns and not just visible enhancements. Bobbie Stewart is our Master Aesthetician. Bobbie is a trained registered nurse and a Massage  therapist. The skill set she acquired with her past training elevates her knowledge versus a traditionally trained aesthetician. She understands the skin and muscular system and brings that knowledge to the table when consulting and treating her clients.

Kristen Parker is our Client Coordinator. Kristen has a degree in nutrition and takes a big role in our wellness program. She also understands how to manage the day to day operations of our business and puts our clients first from the moment they call and walk in the door until the moment they leave. 


What do you want clients to know about Modern Aesthetic Centers that sets you apart?

Our diverse menu of aesthetic and wellness services coupled with cutting edge options sets us apart from traditional medical spas. We also have a remarkable team with strong backgrounds, from our leadership team to our providers. 

 

Do you offer a consultation before an appointment?  What does this entail? 


We do offer our clients a consultation before their appointments. When a client makes an appointment with us for the first time, we schedule enough time to provide an initial consultation as well as their treatment. Our providers address all of their aesthetic and wellness concerns during this initial visit by listening to the clients' goals, assessing their overall skin health, reviewing their current and past medical history and providing a customized treatment plan to get them to their goals. 

Why did you choose St. Johns?  Do you have plans to open other Centers in our area?

We chose to open our first location in Saint Johns because of the remarkable growth of the county. Living in the Saint John's area myself, I am very familiar with the past, current and future growth of this county. We also have a lack of aesthetic and wellness centers in the area we opened, which we have now filled that need. We do plan to open three more centers over the new few years.

What is your favorite thing to do when you are not working? 

When I am not at work, I have two girls and a large family that keep me busy. We love to enjoy the amazing outdoors our hometown provides. The beach is our favorite place outdoors and we also love the many parks and trails our town has to offer.

Bartram Dental Center, BDC, has been in business since 2005, and its focus has always remained on positivity, compassion, teamwork, and family with the goal of providing patients with quality care and treatment. The doctors, Dr. Jason Lewis and Dr. Royce Barlow live and work in St. Johns along with their families.

As they designed their new office, providing a premier patient experience was always their intention. From the inviting lobby, the offer of a blanket, a warm hand towel, or a fresh baked cookie, they want patients to truly enjoy their time. Customer service is a lost art in the medical profession, and they are passionate about providing it for their patient family.

BDC made an investment to become a “Complete Health” dental practice and continue to receive training to enhance the level of care and connection to the medical community of their patients. For patients this means they are focused on helping them maintain their very best “complete health” –not just ideal “dental health”.

BDC is also home to Bartram Dental Assisting School (BDAS). Classes are held in the dedicated classroom space on Saturdays 8 AM – 5 PM and is available for community use during the week. Educating students on the importance of caring for patients, professionalism, chairside technique, and enabling them for success is something they are proud to contribute to the dental community.

Awetism Wonderland

​Stephanie Vavilala, Ed.D, BCBA, LMHC, RPT-S Founder and CEO, Awetism Wonderland and Therapeutic Expressions

​904-318-6109
180 Center Place Way, St. Augustine, FL 32095
awetismwonderland.com
therapeuticexpressions.com
Awetism Wonderland is an autism therapy center created by Dr. Stephanie Vavilala, Ed.D., LMHC, BCBA, RPT-S. Dr. Vavilala struggled with infertility and after much struggle, conceived her daughter, Sabita. Her pregnancy with Sabita was normal and Dr. Vavilala and her husband, Raj, were head over heels in love with their miracle baby. All seemed to be going well until she was around two years old, when they noticed she wasn’t developing the same way other kids her age were.

Officially, when Sabita was two she was diagnosed with autism. Sabita is also non-verbal and uses an ipad communication program to talk. Dr. Vavilala wanted to do everything in her power to help Sabita and others like her to succeed and flourish, wherever they were in their journey.

Awetism Wonderland was born out of the need for Sabita and other children like her to receive all of their therapies under one roof. Awetism Wonderland was named after the concept of discovering the awe and wonder of autism instead of looking at it as a bad thing. It’s a way of seeing the world differently. While Awetism Wonderland offers traditional autism therapies like ABA, PT/OT/ST, and Anat Banial Therapy, they also provide therapies that give children the ability to explore their world, such as dance, music, art, and recreational therapies. They also offer a functional academic program that fosters a non-traditional learning environment so kids with autism can learn what is functional, at their pace, the way they learn best.

Smile with Confidence

A gorgeous new smile has the ability to give you confidence and to smile more openly with others. Really, it’s more than just a simple orthodontic procedure – a new smile can transform your life. Dr. Jimmy Glenos and Dr. Craig Hadgis specialize in these transformations. Together with their team they share a common mission to change people’s lives by enhancing their smiles and bites, and they accomplish this using state-of-the-art technology and services, like impressionless 3D scanning, Invisalign clear aligners, Damon braces, Insignia custom braces, and low-dose 3D x-ray. These technologies enhance precision results and overall patient comfort.

Backed by friendly, gentle, highly-trained and certified team members, Dr. Glenos and Dr. Hadgis enjoy personally explaining all treatment options to every patient and providing ideal customized treatment for any orthodontic needs at any age. The path to a beautiful smile often starts early. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children see an orthodontist by the age of 7. “If you want a beautiful smile for yourself or your children or need an improvement in your bite, we are to explain all the options and offer the most enjoyable experience in a cost-effective manner,” says Dr. Glenos. “There is no charge for a new patient exam nor for having your children enter our dental growth and development program for periodic checkups. This will often allow us to catch a problem early or prevent it from worsening which almost always saves orthodontic time and expense later.”
​
With Dr. Glenos and Dr. Hadgis’ partnership, patients are under the expert care of two highly-trained specialists. Both Dr. Glenos and Dr. Hadgis became orthodontic specialists after finishing two years of their competitive residency programs and completing four years of dental school to earn DMD and DDS degrees. Additionally, Dr. Glenos and Dr. Hadgis are both certified by the American Board of Orthodontists (ABO), a distinction earned by less than 30% of orthodontists. Dr. Hadgis is currently serving as President of the St Augustine Dental Society. A tribute to their passion for their work, Dr. Glenos and Dr. Hadgis have been able to help many thousands of local residents so far. “Our passion is helping patients achieve their desires when it comes to transforming smiles,” says Dr. Hadgis, “which in turn changes lives.”

For hassle-free healthy meals in a hurry, be prepared with a well-stocked kitchen. This means always having some basic ingredients in your cabinets, pantry, fridge and freezer. It can save time and worry on those busy days when you don't have a chance to get to the grocery store.
Cabinets and pantry
  • Dry beans like black beans, chickpeas, pintos and red beans
  • Canned “dinner builder” items like beans, chicken, salmon, tuna and soup
  • Canned vegetables (like carrots, corn, green beans, peas, pumpkin and tomatoes) for adding to soup, rice, pasta and sauces
  • Canned and dried fruits like apple sauce, dates, oranges, peaches, pineapple and raisins (look for items with no added sugars)
  • Whole-grain pasta, brown rice and other easy whole grains like couscous and quinoa
  • Whole grain bread or tortillas (if you don’t use it daily, store in the freezer)
  • Old-fashioned rolled oats, instant oatmeal and whole-grain cereal for a quick breakfast
  • Whole-wheat flour, oat flour and cornmeal for baking
  • Nuts, seeds and nut butters for healthy snacking
  • Healthy cooking oils like canola, corn or olive (buy in limited amounts because they can go rancid over time), nonstick vegetable oil cooking spray
  • Balsamic vinegar and low-sodium soy sauce for salad dressings and sauces
  • Spaghetti or marinara sauce in jars
  • Low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth for making soup
  • Dried herbs and spices, salt-free seasoning blend, pepper

Fridge and freezer
  • Frozen vegetables without salty sauces (like broccoli, cauliflower, mixed vegetables, spinach and squash) make easy sides and add-ins
  • Frozen fruits without added sugars (like berries, mixed fruit, peaches) for cereal, yogurt and smoothies
  • Low-fat/non-fat dairy products like milk, yogurt and cheese
  • Frozen meats like fish fillets, skinless chicken breasts or lean ground beef
  • Soft margarine with no trans fat (made with non-hydrogenated vegetable oils, usually in a tub)

Make it a habit to compare nutrition labels. Choose products with the lowest amounts of sodium, added sugars, saturated fat and trans fat that you can find in your store. And look for the Heart-Check mark to easily identify foods that can be part of your healthy eating plan.

Terri Rampone, Owner 

Picture
Terri Rampone was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. She moved her family to Florida in 2016 to pursue her lifelong dream of living in “The Florida Paradise”.  Her past art career, design background and a love for the arts has led her into many fields from being the head Macy’s Herald Square window decorator, to opening her own Children’s Mural Painting business, and Cake Decorating business to name a few.
 
At the age of 50, Terri was diagnosed with breast cancer and took some time off from her art career to heal. Not realizing at the time how this would lead her into her next passion, she got her first tattoo (an areola that taken during surgery and Eyebrows due to chemo hair loss), she realized the tattoo world was a field to explore. Becoming a Permanent Makeup artist had become her next goal. She went on to study with the American Academy of Micropigmentation and became board-certified, licensed and insured and is listed with the Jacksonville Board of Health for the art of tattooing Eyebrows, Eyeliner, Lips, 3D areola for cancer patients, Scar Camouflage and Tattoo Removal.
 
Her clients consist of men and women of all ages for eyebrows and also professionals such as nurses, doctors, dentists, radiology technicians who don’t have time for makeup yet want the natural “wake up with make up “ look and recovering cancer patients. Terri provides complimentary consultations and will share her knowledge of permanent make-up and together make the best decisions for You!
