Our Nursing Staff

Moira Somers RN

My life on the Sunshine Coast began in 1994 after relocation from Darwin. Soon after this I started work at the Sunshine Coast Day Surgery as a Registered Nurse and part of my role was to look after Dr McGovern’s weekly operating list, where I was also lucky enough to meet Kathy Gambini who at the time was Dr McGovern’s assistant.

It was not long before I also become a client of Vie Institute and Kathy was helping me to stave off the ageing process. At this time I was having both Botox and collagen injections and loving the results.

I continued to work at the day surgery until 2004. In the November of that year I was offered a position by Dr McGovern and started working for Vie Institute in January 2005, and I have never looked back.

I thought the transition would be an easy one but I was very wrong! There was a huge amount of training and it still continues to this day! My role at Vie includes cosmetic consults for people considering a cosmetic surgical procedure, pre and post care of surgical patients, skin care consultations . In the last few years my focus has been more towards non surgical rejuvenation of the face using dermal fillers and Botox. I love this role and continue to learn more and more about different and improving techniques.

Clients, once they get over the initial apprehension and of course the occasional bruise LOVE the results. My passion is facial volumising whether it be upper mid or lower face. I also enjoy helping clients who have been affected by facial palsy or injury. This is often more challenging but has equally or possibly more satisfying results. I hope to continue my career with Vie for many years to come and look forward to expanding my knowledge.

From Management – Moira, you are so humble. You haven’t once mentioned that you’re such a talented cosmetic injector that you have a national title under your belt!

Or that she is a jack of all trades and always fixes things in the rooms.
