Ever wondered what happens when military precision meets artistic vision in the world of beauty? Meet Aubry, the former Army nurse who now transforms lives through her boutique medical spa, Thistle Medical Aesthetics.

Nestled in Stafford, Virginia, Thistle isn't your typical medical spa. Drawing from her unique background—caring for wounded soldiers at Walter Reed before studying at the Art Institute of Portland—Aubrey has created something truly special: a warm, welcoming space where aesthetic treatments are both science and art.

"You're still you, but better" isn't just a catchy phrase at Thistle; it's their guiding philosophy. Aubry passionately dismantles the misconception that aesthetic treatments lead to fake-looking results. "The unfortunate thing about the Internet is that a lot of the bad work goes viral, but what doesn't get enough attention is the beautiful natural work that goes unnoticed," she explains. Her team focuses on subtle enhancements tailored to each client's unique features, prioritizing education and gradual improvements over dramatic changes.

What truly sets Thistle apart is their commitment to making aesthetic treatments accessible to everyone—not just celebrities or the wealthy. When the pandemic forced their doors closed as a non-essential business, Aubry's entrepreneurial spirit shined. Rather than panicking, she pivoted, launching virtual consultations, creating at-home facial kits, and opening an online store. "That period definitely taught me some resilience, creativity, and how important it is to pivot instead of panicking," she reflects.

Beyond her medical spa, Aubry finds beauty everywhere—co-owning Highland Barn wedding venue with her husband, tending to their Highland cows, and creating floral arrangements from her garden. This holistic appreciation for beauty infuses Thistle's approach, where a team of eight passionate women collaborate to transform not just appearances, but confidence.
