Stephanie Costa FNP-C

Graduated from Rhode Island College in 2009 with my Bachelors in Nursing. I started my career at Women and Infants’ Hospital in Providence, RI. I worked on the postpartum unit and newborn nursery before transitioning to Women’s oncology. This is where I discovered my passion for making women feel beautiful. Many of my patients were undergoing chemotherapy and radiation. I spent many hours doing whatever I could to boost their confidence. From there I spent 5 years of my nursing career traveling. I’ve worked in all of the best Boston Hospitals- BMC, Brigham and Women’s and Beth Israel Deaconess. I then traveled to Los Angeles California where I spent 9 months working at Torrance Memorial and Providence St John’s Hospital in Santa Monica. I worked with VIP celebrity patients. After traveling I decided to go back to school to obtain my masters degree. I graduated from Simmons College in January 2018 as a board certified Family Nurse Practitioner. From there, I started my own cosmetic practice while working full time as a primary care provider for two nursing homes/rehabilitation centers.

My passion for beauty continue to thrive. My cosmetic practice became busier and busier.

I decided to join the Agape team 3 years ago. I am your go to for all cosmetic injectables as well as specializing in bio identical hormone therapy. I look forward to meeting you and helping to address all of your cosmetic needs. My goal is to make you look and feel beautiful from the inside out!
