Our Aesthetic Team
Shelia Anderson, R.N., M.S.N.
Shelia Anderson received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Western Carolina University and Master of Science in Nursing from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Shelia has worked in nursing for over 25 years as an active clinician and educator.
In 1995 Shelia began her work in the field of medical aesthetics. She is widely known for her expertise in the field and for advanced techniques she developed in the non-surgical treatment of clients with Botox Cosmetic and dermal fillers.

Shelia’s passion and artistry are reflected in her aesthetic injections. Her gift as an educator is reflected in the time she spends with each individual patient, assuring optimal results for each one.
Cathie "Chilly" Chilcote, R.N.
Cathie “Chilly” Chilcote, RN, joined the Larrabee Center Aesthetics Team in 2008.
She was born, raised, and educated in London, Ontario, Canada, where she received her degree in nursing at Fanshawe College.
Following graduation, she immigrated to the United States. Chilly worked at Morton Plant Hospital in Clearwater, Florida, as an acute care nurse in both critical and coronary care.
With an interest in Medical and Surgical technology and an inherent ability to teach, she moved to Seattle to begin a 20-plus year career as an educator and trainer with multiple medical companies. These firms included Spacelabs, International Biomedics and, eventually, Allergan Medical.
At Allergan she cultivated her passion for aesthetic medicine and introduced, educated, and trained physicians, surgeons, and nurses nationwide. Included in the spectrum of products and their implementation was the first dermal filler, Collagen, Juvederm and Botox Cosmetic. Upon finishing a rewarding tenure with Allergan Medical, her natural course was to return to the clinical setting and apply her knowledge and skill on an individual patient basis.
Chilly is a skilled nurse injector and is committed to optimum patient assessment and treatment. Her sense of humor – a notable trait – is readily noted when she shares with a patient, “I can’t make you look twenty years younger, but I can make you look a lot better than your girlfriends!”
Maryln J. Wilson, RN, BSN
Maryln is a Seattleite - born and raised in the Emerald City and a graduate of Roosevelt High School. Whenever she was asked as a young girl, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”-without hesitation, her response was, “A Nurse!”
To begin this lifelong dream, she travelled east of the mountains to wheat and wine country and attended Walla Walla College (now University) where she received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing. Following her collegiate experience, she attended Loma Linda University to purse graduate studies in Nursing Education and also work in the Loma Linda University Medical Center Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
With her return to the Pacific Northwest, she began her association with multiple Plastic/Reconstructive surgeons’ practices which provided her with a fundamental knowledge of aesthetic medicine, surgery, and patient care. Included within this almost thirty years of clinical/surgical work, has been the opportunity to develop her knowledge and skill as an aesthetic nurse injector.
This began in 1980, in association with Kenneth R. Tucker, MD, when his practice was involved in clinical studies for the FDA approval of Zyderm/Collagen. This first “dermal filler” was the springboard to another adjunct to aesthetic medicine - facial rejuvenation with nonsurgical intervention. Over the last twenty-plus years Maryln has been involved with the evolution of “injectables” and the many products available to this realm of medicine. These include Botox, Dysport, Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, Radiesse, and Sculptra.
Maryln has been a part of the Larrabee Aesthetic Team since October 2010.
Lauren Jackson-Gross, L.M.A.
Lauren has been with the Larrabee Center for eight years and brings over eleven years of aesthetics experience to our team. Lauren graduated from the Euro Institute of Skin Care and has advanced training from the Laser Training Institute and the Dermal Institute in California. Her advanced training and experience include extensive laser treatments, product training, and treatments for sun-damaged, maturing and acneic skin. As an aesthetician, Lauren focuses on scientifically proven treatments and products. She stays on the cutting edge of skin care through continuing education.
In addition to her significant knowledge and experience, Lauren possesses a passion for proper skin care and the dramatic changes it provides. She personally experiences each and every skincare treatment offered at the Larrabee Center, as well as each product that the Larrabee Aesthetic Center carries. Her hands-on approach gives her the ability to describe the effects of each treatment and products she recommends.
As with Dr. Larrabee and the other members of our aesthetics team, Lauren is an educator. She not only shares her knowledge and expertise educating other aestheticians, she has a passion for educating her patients in regards to overall good skin health. As an aesthetician, Lauren sees skin as a canvas – she looks past the pigment, acne, and other imperfections and visualizes what is really possible – clear, luminous skin. She analyzes skin texture, epidermal thickness, vascular condition, and overall skin health. Lauren believes that surgery takes care of many of the concerns with the aging face, but only proper skin care can correct the texture and condition of the skin.
Lauren’s repertoire of treatments includes Ultherapy, Fraxel, IPL (fotofacial), chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and laser hair reduction. She always looks forward to meeting with patients and discussing their individual skincare needs.
