Sarah Johnson

Assistant Manager of Durbin

Sarah graduated with her BSN degree from Nova Southeastern University in 2019 and spent almost two years working in the Emergency Department. Although Sarah has a love for Emergency Nursing, she wanted to get a taste of what aesthetic nursing has to offer! Sarah loves advocating for her patients to live a holistic and healthy lifestyle while feeling & looking their very best.

If you run into her at Thrive, she's most likely raving about cryotherapy and always recommends it for an extra energy boost, muscle recovery, or to decrease inflammation in the body. Sarah loves adding Magnesium to her IV bags because it's a natural relaxant that can aid in better sleep, muscle recovery, and an overall more relaxed feeling. Sarah supports "self-care every day" and loves when you and your best friend come in for a facial & IV to have a spa day here at Thrive! When Sarah is not at Thrive, she loves working out, lounging on the beach, and spending time with her fiancé and two pups!
