About Us

Dr. Jonathan Bernardini, MD, Medical Director and Owner

Dr. Bernardini is a Harvard-trained, triple board-certified physician with over 13 years of experience performing advanced, minimally invasive surgical procedures. He received his medical degree from Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Jersey in 1999. Following completion of his surgical training in general surgery at the University of California Davis Medical Center and David Grant US Air Force Medical Center at Travis Air Force Base, California, he served as a flight surgeon in the United States Air Force in the Republic of Korea, Italy, and numerous deployments around the world. After leaving the Air Force, Dr. Bernardini completed a residency in anesthesiology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts, followed by a fellowship in interventional pain management at Texas Tech University Health Science Center in Lubbock, Texas. Along with his partners, Dr. Bernardini helped to develop a successful interventional sports, spine, and pain management practice in the south Denver area where he utilizes primarily minimally invasive surgical techniques to treat patients with chronic pain. While maintaining a busy schedule in his pain management practice, several years ago he began focusing his talents and energies on developing an aesthetics and wellness practice focused on providing safe, evidence-based cosmetic and medical aesthetic procedures.

When not working, Dr. Bernardini can be found spending quality time with his family including acting as referee between his two children, helping his wife facilitate a never-ending home renovation, and taking care of his three dogs, Bronco, Chewy, and Piper.

Kelly Buckley is a Physician Assistant with 16 years of experience performing aesthetic injections and procedures including neurmodulators like Botox and Dysport, dermal fillers such as Restylane, PDO threads, laser treatment, and minimally invasive aesthetic surgery. She is originally from Long Island, New York. She graduated from Stony Brook University in 1995, receiving her Physician Assistant Certification Degree with proficiency in surgery.

Kelly has continued her own education and is one of the premier aesthetic injectors in Colorado. Due to her vast experience and emphasis on safety and ethics, she has been hand-picked by New Age Aesthetics and Wellness to lead our team of injectors and laser specialists in addition to other advanced treatments such as thread lifts, cellulite treatment, and complex aesthetic concerns.

With a medical career spanning over 25 years, Kelly is highly competent and respected throughout the medical community. She is sought-after for her exceptional skills in facial and body contouring and qualifications in assisting during our liposuction procedures. She specializes in high level injections, laser treatments, and minimally invasive thread lifting. Kelly thrives on being able to make her clients happy and is extremely invested in ensuring they achieve a natural look.

Just like the rest of us, Kelly loves to enjoy the Colorado lifestyle. Although she grew up around the water and loves the ocean, being in a landlocked state has not stopped her from enjoying everything Colorado has to offer. Kelly enjoys the many days of sunshine outside with her children, Kate and Hayden.

We feel extremely lucky to have Kelly as an integral part of our team. Once you’ve had a chance to meet her and perform your treatments, you’ll never want to go anywhere else.

Angela Bernardini:

Angela is our resident Italian fashionista and managing director. Her work experience spans the food and service industry and numerous positions in retail businesses. She grew up in Venice, Italy working at the family restaurant and bar on Via Giuseppe Garibaldi in addition to retail shops catering to international tourists. She met her future husband, Dr. Bernardini, while working as the assistant manager of the Base Exchange at Aviano Air Base, Italy where he was stationed as a US Air Force Flight Surgeon. After getting married and moving to Boston, MA, she worked as the director of visual merchandising at Ann Taylor in Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA. Following a brief hiatus raising 2 wonderful children and supporting her husband through his various medical training programs and first couple of practices in Austin, TX and Virginia Beach, VA, she found herself drawn to the mountains of Colorado which reminded her of the Dolomites and Alps in northeastern Italy. She took on the role of managing director of New Age Aesthetics and Wellness in 2021, balancing that position and all its responsibilities with her love of extreme workouts, running, skiing, cooking, and spending time with family, friends, and her three dogs, Bronco, Chewy, and Piper.

Jordan Santos:

Jordan is our busy bee! This girl gets things DONE. She handles her normal front office duties with a breeze like answering incoming calls, scheduling patient appointments, greets and directs patients to exam rooms, checks patients out and rings up purchases, updates office forms, and produces closing reports. On top of these responsibilities, she is also our photographer and helps with numbing patients before procedures. To sum it up, she is a pro at multi-tasking!

When Jordan’s not at work she loves spending time with family, especially her Fiancé, who is also named Jordan! When the weather permits, she loves going for hikes with her dog Kylo. She loves a good brunch, so you know where to find her on weekends!

Shelby Reece:

Shelby Reece is a licensed aesthetician with over 5 years experience and specializes in medical aesthetics. Her experience includes facials, chemical peels, microneedling, laser treatments, injectables and more! She was sought after by New Age Aesthetics and Wellness to help grow our skincare clientele. Shelby believes in using pharmaceutical grade skincare to help her clients get the results they are seeking whether it is treating acne, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, rosacea and more. Shelby’s passion for skin stems from her own struggles, suffering from acne at a young age. The dermatologist she saw only recommended harsh medications and she thought there had to be another way to clear her skin…and that’s when she knew she wanted to become a skincare expert. When she’s not working, Shelby spends time with her family and her dog Leo. Her downtime includes binging Netflix- true crime dramas are her FAVORITE!

During the season you can find her cheering on her favorite teams … the Buffs, Sooners and BRONCOS, of course!
