Meet Alyssa Sutherland, NP

Meet Nurse Practitioner Alyssa! With over 20 years of nursing experience and a strong foundation in emergency medicine, Alyssa brings a wealth of clinical expertise and precision to her role as an aesthetic Nurse Practitioner. Since earning her NP designation in 2017, she has continued to expand her scope of practice, with a particular passion for aesthetic medicine.
Alyssa began her career as a Registered Practical Nurse in 2004, advanced to a Registered Nurse in 2008, and completed her Nurse Practitioner training in 2017. She spent several years working in fast-paced emergency departments, where she became highly skilled in minor procedures, suturing, and patient care under pressure.
A Passion for Boosting Confidence
Alyssa has a particular love for injectable hyaluronic acid fillers, using them to refine facial contours, restore volume loss, and subtly enhance her patients’ natural features. Her approach is highly personalized and tailored to each individual’s unique facial structure, goals, and aesthetic preferences. Whether it’s softening lines, enhancing cheeks and lips, or defining the jawline, Alyssa aims to create balanced, elegant results that boost confidence and never look overdone.
Education
She has completed multiple advanced injectable training programs, including certification from the Canadian Board of Aesthetic Medicine, a 1:1 mentorship at Health One in Toronto and the Master Injector series in Toronto in 2025. She is also a member of the Canadian Society of Aesthetic Specialty Nurses (CSASN).
Outside of the clinic, Alyssa is an avid skier who loves spending time on the slopes with her husband and their two young daughters. She is passionate about community service and global outreach, having volunteered locally and provided medical care abroad in Nepal and Kenya.
Alyssa joined Guelph Facial Plastics in 2024 as a hand-selected team member personally trained by Dr. Brace. Her gentle approach, clinical precision, and dedication to patient-centered care make her a favourite among our patients.
