About House of Aesthetica
WOMEN - FOUNDED · WOMEN - LED · NP - OWNED
ABOUT THE PRACTICE
House of Aesthetica is women-founded, women-led, and built from the ground up by a licensed healthcare provider. That distinction shapes everything here: the services we offer, the way a room feels when you walk in, the pace of every appointment.
We started this practice because we saw — and felt — a real gap in care, especially in women's health and whole-person wellness. Too often, patients are evaluated one problem at a time instead of as a whole person, rushed through fifteen-minute appointments by providers who don't have room to slow down. Something urgent, like a UTI, can mean days of waiting just to be seen. We wanted House of Aesthetica to be different: comprehensive, accessible, and unhurried. Our founder wanted to build the space she'd been searching for herself, somewhere to get aesthetic treatments from a provider she already knew and trusted, instead of handing that trust to a stranger.
Because House of Aesthetica is nurse-practitioner-owned, every service from IV therapy to hormone optimization is grounded in real medical judgment, not just what's trending. Meet the provider behind it below.

Valerie Petersen, APRN-FPA, WHNP-BC
Founder | Board-Certified Women's Health Nurse Practitioner
Valerie is a full practice authority Advanced Practice Registered Nurse in Illinois and a board-certified Women's Health Nurse Practitioner, bringing years of clinical expertise to every patient she sees. She founded House of Aesthetica because she saw a gap: patients wanted care that treated them as whole people, not just a set of concerns to check off a hurried list — and they weren't finding it in traditional practices or standard aesthetics clinics.
That's the difference here. Every treatment plan starts with a real conversation and a clinical eye, not a menu. Valerie combines the training and judgment of a licensed healthcare provider with a genuine investment in how you feel — in your body, in your skin, in every season of your life. The result is care that is precise and evidence-based, delivered in a space that feels personal, luxurious, and entirely your own.
