Meet Carla A. Thomas MSN, APRN-FPA, FNP-BC

I’m Carla A. Thomas, MSN, APRN-FPA, FNP-BC, and I’m proud to be the owner of Carla Thomas Med Spa here in La Grange. My passion for promoting health and wellness, practicing self-care, and helping your exterior beauty match your inner beauty has driven me throughout my life and career. I’m excited to share that passion with you as a skincare professional and through my woman-owned small business that offers a curated selection of products and services. 

‘Who Did You Help Today?’

I’ve wanted to be a nurse ever since I was a little girl growing up here in Chicagoland, and my mom is a huge part of that. She’s one of the most inspiring people in my life and someone who I think embodies all the best qualities of what a mother should be. When I was younger, she would come home from long days at work and ask me: “Who did you help today?” That question has stayed with me, and I’ve made it a personal mission to have an answer to that question every day. 

My mom went back to school to get her Master of Science in Nursing, and I knew that we shared a similar path. I got my Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Loyola University Chicago (go Ramblers!) and followed that with my own MSN. Over two decades, I’ve worked in a variety of medical departments including intensive care, immediate care, and sub-acute rehab. It’s challenging work, but it’s work I cherish because it allows me to make a difference in some way. 

‘If It Was Easy, Everyone Would Do It’

That need to help people—to answer my mom’s question—led me to open Carla Thomas Med Spa. Here, I also drew inspiration from my late father, Rick Cavaliere. Dad was an entrepreneur, and he always encouraged me and my siblings to follow our hearts and chase our dreams. Starting a woman-owned small business as a skincare professional is a different challenge all its own, but I always think of something dad told me when I’m faced with adversity: “If it was easy, everyone would do it.” I named my PLLC after my dad—Cavaliere Thomas Aesthetics PLLC—as a way to honor him for everything he’s done for me. 

I wouldn’t be able to do what I do every day without the support of my family, and that includes my loving husband, my two wonderful children, and my dear friends. And I do this because I want to help women like myself. We tend to put a lot on ourselves, and that makes it easier to push off self-care. When you visit Carla Thomas Med Spa, my goal is to make sure you put yourself first so that you can tap into your natural beauty and let it shine bright.
