ABOUT BONITA MEDICAL AESTHETICS & WELLNESS
A Nurse Practitioner-Led Medical Clinic in St. Jacobs
Bonita treats skin, hormones, intimate health and pelvic floor under one roof, because they are rarely separate problems. Founded and led by Jessica Caceres, Nurse Practitioner.
Graceful aging, redefined.
WHY WE ARE BUILT THIS WAY
Skin, Hormones and Pelvic Health Are Not Separate Problems
A woman in her forties whose skin has changed, who is not sleeping, whose hair is thinning and who leaks when she sneezes is usually dealing with one thing rather than four. Most of the time she is sent to four different places for it.
Bonita was built the other way round. Jessica Caceres, Nurse Practitioner, prescribes hormone therapy and performs the injectables. Our medical aestheticians run the lasers and the facials. Kristen Parise, PT handles pelvic health, and Dr. Aaron Van Gaver, ND covers men's hormonal health. Everyone works in the same building and talks to each other.
That means when the cause of your skin problem turns out to be hormonal, nobody sends you elsewhere to find out.
JESSICA
NURSE PRACTITIONER & FOUNDER
Seeing the beauty in you.
Jessica started Bonita to create a comfortable space for women to be themselves, to share their vulnerabilities without judgement, and to receive evidence-based, skilled aesthetic and medical care that helped them feel refreshed.
She has been a Nurse Practitioner since 2010 and practicing in medical aesthetics since 2017, combining clinical expertise with an artistic eye and continuing to invest in advanced education to remain current in technique, safety, and innovation.
As the founder, Jessica focuses on women's health, hormone optimization, skin rejuvenation, and medical grade skincare, delivering natural, elegant results. She is a board certified Nurse Practitioner and a member of The Canadian Menopause Society and The Menopause Society, providing evidence informed, personalized care to support women through perimenopause and menopause.

MADISON
MEDICAL AESTHETICIAN
Science-driven and therapeutic.
Madison is our skin care specialist with expertise in all things custom facials, Hydrafacials, and laser treatments. Madison is on a mission to help you look and feel your best through advanced skincare treatments. Madison has an obvious fascination with the science of skincare. Her appreciation of the skin is beautifully evident.
LEXUS
MEDICAL AESTHETICIAN
Driven by a results-oriented mindset.
As a former freelance makeup artist, Lexus discovered her interest in enhancing natural features and took her education further by becoming a certified Medical Aesthetician.
She works across tattoo removal, laser hair removal and pigment treatment, and she is meticulous about matching the right setting to the right skin, which matters more with laser than with almost anything else we do. Lexus takes real pride in explaining things properly, so you understand your own skin rather than being told what to buy.
STEPHANIE
MEDICAL AESTHETICIAN
Precise, polished, and personal.
Stephanie brings 13 years of hands-on experience to the Bonita team, specializing in expert waxing, brow and lash services, and custom facials. She is currently training on our laser platforms and picking them up quickly. A busy mom of two, she knows how hard it can be to carve out time for yourself, and she treats every appointment as exactly that, unhurried and personal. Her approach is warm and inclusive, where every patient feels seen, respected, and cared for.
She also introduced the Korean Lash Lift to Bonita, a gentler alternative for fine or fragile lashes.
No rushed appointments, no judgment, just thoughtful, high-quality care.

DR. AARON VAN GAVER
NATUROPATHIC DOCTOR
Evidence-based. Whole-person care for men.
Dr. Aaron Van Gaver is a naturopathic doctor with a focus on men's health. He works with men on hormonal health, including testosterone optimization and bio-identical hormone therapy, supported by advanced lab testing and individual treatment protocols rather than a standard programme.
Most men arrive having been told that low energy, weight gain around the middle and reduced drive are just part of getting older. Often they are not. Dr. Aaron looks for the cause rather than treating the symptom, and consultations are virtual, so you can see him from anywhere in Ontario.
"Your health is your greatest asset. Let's protect it."
ALISHA
WOMEN’S HEALTH COORDINATOR
Compassionate and highly skilled.
With over 14 years of experience as a medical assistant in primary care, Alisha understands the healthcare system from the inside, including how easy it is for women to be moved along without being properly heard. She coordinates the women's health side of Bonita, handles bookings and follow-up, and is usually the first person you speak to. Alisha is here to make sure every woman who comes to Bonita is looked after properly, and that nothing falls through the gaps between appointments.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Bonita is a medical clinic. It is led by Jessica Caceres, a Nurse Practitioner, and alongside aesthetics we provide hormone therapy, intimate health treatment and pelvic floor physiotherapy. That means prescriptions, bloodwork and clinical assessment sit alongside facials and laser, and we do not take walk-ins for treatment.
-
No. You can book directly for anything we offer, including hormone therapy with Jessica Caceres, NP and pelvic floor physiotherapy with Kristen Parise, PT.
-
It depends on the treatment. Jessica Caceres, NP performs all injectables, PRP, hormone therapy and intimate health treatments. Our medical aestheticians deliver facials, laser, peels and microneedling. Kristen Parise, PT handles pelvic floor physiotherapy, and Dr. Aaron Van Gaver, ND covers men's hormonal health. Every treatment is performed under Jessica's oversight.
-
Yes, more than most clinics. Hormone therapy with Jessica Caceres, NP and men's hormonal health with Dr. Aaron Van Gaver, ND are both delivered virtually anywhere in Ontario. Kristen Parise, PT offers virtual pelvic floor physiotherapy. And if you would rather talk before committing to anything, we offer virtual consultations for injectables, laser and skincare too, so you can ask your questions from home and book the treatment once you know what you want.
-
We look at what is actually going on before recommending anything. That means asking what has changed, what you have already tried, and whether something hormonal might be contributing. You leave with a plan and a realistic picture of what treatment can and cannot do. If we do not think something will work for you, we will say so.
