Geralyn Walsh

Office Manager

Geralyn Walsh has worked side by side with Dr. Fisher for sixteen years helping to build and manage the Women's LifeCenter. She has worked in health care office management for 25 years and has vast experience working on the patient's behalf with the insurance industry as well as counseling patients about financing options. She is a reassuring presence while guiding patients through the preoperative process.

Everyone finds Geralyn to be warm and highly accessible; she treats every individual in a caring manner. Patients love her and love to hear about Annie, Geralyn and Kevin's daughter. It is not unusual for Geralyn to hear from patients long after they have completed their care.

I love my work because I really enjoy the long term relationships we develop with patients. I find it very gratifying helping them through the entire perioperative process.

Mary Bossard, RN

Mary received her BSN, RN from Rush University College of Nursing and went directly to work on a Medical Surgical Nursing floor at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago. During her first 6 months at NMH Mary was given responsibilities usually reserved for senior staff; acting as Charge RN and preceptor for new graduates. While she enjoyed providing a high caliber of care to her patients, and the experience of hospital nursing; something was missing. When presented with an opportunity to apply her nursing skills and affinity for aesthetics working with cosmetic injectables, Mary jumped at the chance while continuing to work at Northwestern. 

Mary has extensive training and experience with a wide array of cosmetic injectables (Botox®, Dysport™, Restylane®, Juvederm®, etc.). As RN manager she honed her skills by attending advanced training classes and continuing education seminars. She also worked with new hire RNs, training them on injection techniques and how to approach the work not only as a medical procedure, but an art as well. 

Expanding on her interest for aesthetic medicine Mary has assisted Dr. Fisher with hundreds of SmartLipo procedures.

Mary has found her niche with cosmetic medicine and truly enjoys her work. I get no greater satisfaction than seeing the happiness I bring to patients through my work!

Debra Sawyer, LMT, Reiki Master

After teaching and dancing professionally for 16 years, Debra attended The Chicago School of Massage Therapy in 1995.  Debra has multiple areas of specializations including Swedish massage, therapeutic exercise and stretching techniques, lymphatic drainage, oncology massage, pregnancy, perinatal, and infant massage, and sports massage.  An added area of Debra's expertise is in energy work including Reiki and healing touch.

My goals are to reduce pain and stress and to aid in reinforcing the natural healing process of the body.  I custom design my massage by listening to each client and with them create a treatment that would best suit their individual needs.  A sense of deep relaxation and well being along with a therapeutic outcome is our goal.

Hanah Tetro, LE

Hanah Tetro is a North Shore native who has also lived in Israel. As a teenager Hanah suffered from terrible acne and once she received proper treatment for her condition she was left was a life- long passion for skincare. After earning both a BA and MA in Art History Hanah decided to shift gears entirely and study to be an aesthetician.

Upon receiving her Illinois state aesthetics license Hanah took extra classes in the medical aesthetics field. Hanah specializes in customized facials and chemical peels and all types of waxing. A strong believer in the power of looking good in order to feel good Hanah also volunteers for the American Cancer Society's Look Good Feel Better program which provides free skincare and make-up products and lessons for cancer patients.

Always wanting to learn more Hanah feels it is important to keep up-to-date about new technologies, treatments, and discoveries as they pertain to the aesthetics field. In addition, she enjoys her interactions with her clients and looks forward to helping her clients not only improve their appearance but also feel relaxed and pampered. Making sure her clients leave the office with the right home care regime and products is very important to Hanah as well.

I became an aesthetician in order to further my own knowledge about skin and skincare, and I love to pass along what I know to my clients.  Making my clients feel great and leave with a smile on their faces in my utmost priority. I want to help demystify the beauty and skincare industry so that my clients feel confident with both their skincare treatments and product. Everyone deserves to love their skin!
