Desteny Lewis, LPN
Clinical Lead
Hello, my name is Desteney! I am your Licensed Practical Nurse here at Deep Rooted Health &
Wellness Med Spa! I am originally from New York but have lived in multiple states through my military
service of seven years. I became an LPN while serving in the United States Army. It wasn’t an easy feat, but with resilience and compassion, I graduated.
When I was a little girl, people would ask me what I wanted to do when I grew up and I would respond "I want to help people". At the time, I was not sure how I was going to do this, but I realized that nothing made me happier than making others feel good.
I have now been an LPN for 5 years and it has given me the most fulfilling feeling; I can’t get enough of it! I know that I have chosen the right path. Not everyone is called to be a nurse and not every nurse out there is a good one, but the best nurses are the ones who are passionate about their patients.
I am passionate about serving you!
