The Hands Behind Your Care

Lindsay Lauritzen
Administrative Assistant
Melanie Lichtenberg
I am the proud owner of Monarch Laser Therapy, and my journey into care began long before my professional career. I came to the United States from Germany in March of 1979 at the age of 20, bringing with me a deep passion for helping others.
From a young age, I was drawn to caring for people—especially the elderly. I was partly raised by my grandmother, and my father instilled in me the importance of compassion, service, and dignity. He taught me to care for others, and that lesson has stayed with me throughout my life.
I have been a nurse for 37 years, and throughout my career, my goal has always been to make people feel seen, valued, and cared for. My passion for this work is also personal. Growing up, I didn’t always feel confident in myself, which is why I am so committed to helping others feel good about who they are. I believe everyone deserves to feel confident, beautiful, and empowered.
My father’s vision continues to inspire me every day—to be someone who makes a difference, who is needed, and who touches lives in a meaningful way. Through Monarch Laser Therapy, I strive to create a space where every client feels supported, uplifted, and confident in their own skin.
I'm so glad you're here! As the friendly voice behind the phone and the smile behind the front desk, I love being the first point of contact for every client who walks through our doors at Monarch Laser Therapy.
I bring a genuine passion for organization and hospitality to everything I do, because I believe your experience should feel effortless from the very first booking. Whether I'm helping you find the perfect appointment time, answering your questions, or simply making you feel welcome, I truly care about making your visit personal and comfortable.
For me, this isn't just a job — it's about being part of your journey to feeling confident and cared for. I can't wait to help make your experience at Monarch something special.
Clinical Manager, Wellness, Skincare Specialist & Nurse
With over 20 years of experience in nursing and business management, I am committed to delivering an elevated and highly personalized experience grounded in compassion, clinical expertise, and intention. I believe that true beauty and wellness begin from within, which is why I take a holistic approach that nurtures the whole person—supporting each client in feeling confident, restored, and radiant from the inside out.
I genuinely enjoy meeting new people and taking the time to get to know each client on a personal level. Building meaningful connections and helping individuals feel more confident in who they are—both inside and out—is at the heart of what I do. Seeing my clients happy, refreshed, and confident after their experience at Monarch Laser Therapy is what I love most.
Nygyia Mackall (Lady)
Wellness, Skincare Specialist & Nurse
I'm a compassionate and experienced nurse with a diverse clinical background spanning detox nursing, Med-Surg, and long-term care. That range of experience has shaped everything I bring to Monarch Laser Therapy — a deep respect for patient safety, individualized care, and the trust that has to be earned with every person I treat.
Beauty and wellness have always been a passion of mine, and combining that passion with my nursing background has been one of the most rewarding parts of my career in medical aesthetics. I bring my clinical expertise into every treatment I provide, ensuring each client receives care that is not only safe and effective, but also genuinely attentive to their individual goals and concerns.
What I love most about this work is helping clients feel confident and comfortable in their own skin. Whether someone is coming in for their first treatment or their fiftieth, I want every visit to feel like a safe, welcoming, and positive experience — one where they leave feeling cared for, both inside and out.
