Were you born and raised in Boston? If not, what brought you here?
Yes! I was born in Boston and grew up in Tewksbury, MA. I attended Boston College, then went to medical school in Arizona. I later returned to Boston for my internship, residency, and fellowship. I now live in Chestnut Hill and own a medical spa in Newton Centre, MA.
Tell us more about your job or company and what led you to your career?
I’m the founder and owner of Dr. Renee Moran Medical Aesthetics, based in Newton Centre. We recently celebrated our one-year anniversary in May.
I’m a double Board-Certified Anesthesiologist and sub-specialize as an Interventional Pain Medicine Physician. I’ve treated patients with chronic migraine headaches using Botox injections for over a decade. Combining that experience with my love of beauty and health led me to pursue medical aesthetics.
At our med spa, we offer treatments such as Botox, dermal fillers, microneedling, HydraFacials, medical-grade chemical peels, Kybella, IV therapy, CoolSculpting, and CoolTone. My mission is to help women of all ages feel their best and enhance their natural beauty—it’s truly the best decision I’ve ever made.
What would your clients say about you and your company?
Our clients would say we genuinely love what we do. We personalize every experience and tailor treatments to each client’s goals and skin condition.
What is the best advice you’ve ever received?
The best advice I’ve received is: you have to jump in rather than just putting your toe in the water.
As a doctor, mom of two, and stepmom, my schedule is hectic—but with my husband’s encouragement, I took the plunge to start my own business. Days turn into weeks, weeks into months—time goes fast. Take the chance now and follow your passion. You won’t regret it.
What is your favorite book?
Between Grit & Grace
What is your secret weapon? An app, a tool, an organization method, anything?! (Can be a personal or professional life tool)
I can’t live without my to-do lists and Trello! They keep me sane and organized personally and professionally. I maintain both a master list and a daily one—checking off items is so satisfying.
As Lee Iacocca said: “The discipline of writing something down is the first step toward making it happen.”
What is your most recent WIN? How are you slaying in your career or business?
I recently launched my own medical-grade skincare line, RM Skincare, along with an online store to simplify the client experience. The timing coincided with the COVID-19 shutdown, so being able to provide at-home facial kits and skincare routines was incredibly meaningful.
What advice would you give to your younger self?
Be more confident and silence self-doubt. Believe in yourself. Positive thinking opens doors.
How do you enjoy your free time?
I love spending time with my family, working out, gardening, and traveling.
What is something that not many people know about you?
I have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
