Reba Goodrow
APRN | Lead Clinician
Reba Goodrow, APRN, is the lead clinician at Re:nu 180 Medspa’s Middlebury location. She brings a strong clinical background, a love for aesthetics, and a deep commitment to patient-centered care. As a board-certified nurse practitioner, Reba’s journey includes a diverse healthcare career spanning neonatal intensive care, pain management, psychiatric medicine, and, most recently, cosmetic dermatology.
After earning her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Southern Connecticut State University, Reba began her career as a NICU nurse at UConn Health. There, she honed her clinical skills and developed a meticulous attention to detail and a calm, compassionate presence. She completed her Master of Science in Nursing at Quinnipiac University.
Reba’s later experience in psychiatry and pain management deepened her understanding of the emotional aspects of care, particularly how mental and physical well-being intersect and how self-image can profoundly affect overall quality of life. These insights now inform her approach to aesthetics, where she blends clinical precision with empathetic listening, which she brings into every consultation and treatment session.
Everything started to align in Reba’s career when she took on a role as the sole provider at a Connecticut cosmetic practice, where she specialized in laser tattoo removal. This role became her first step into aesthetics, helping clients not only remove unwanted tattoos but also reclaim their confidence and self-image. It was there that she saw firsthand how cosmetic treatments could have a transformative emotional impact.
Reba’s aesthetic approach is rooted in enhancing each client’s natural beauty. Whether it’s Botox® to soften expression lines or a subtle lip augmentation for your smile, Reba is passionate about treatments that offer natural results. She especially loves how a few well-placed units of Botox can create a refreshed look that feels effortless. She explains, “Small changes can significantly impact confidence without altering someone’s unique look. I always aim to help clients look and feel like the best version of themselves.”
Known for her warm demeanor and attentive ear, Reba believes that listening is one of the most powerful tools in aesthetic care. She takes time to understand each client’s story and goals, creating a customized, comfortable experience.
Reba is a passionate foodie and avid traveler outside the treatment room who loves trying new restaurants and coffee shops and hiking with her two dogs. Whether you are new to aesthetics or a seasoned client, you’ll find a welcoming, experienced partner in Reba.
