Rica grew up in Calgary and completed her undergraduate degree at Western University. Her passion for skincare started back in grade 10, and she’s been hooked ever since. Now part of the team at Papillon, Rica loves the rewarding nature of working in healthcare—especially the unique blend of medical and cosmetic care that makes every day different. In addition to her role at the clinic, she also works part time as a chemistry tutor, which speaks to her love of science and helping others understand it. Outside of work, Rica shares her home with two energetic dogs and a cat who keeps everyone on their toes.

Originally from Chile, South America, Javiera brings both warmth and energy to the Papillon team. While she jokingly claims she’s “not a drama queen,” she did earn her school’s very first drama award, which is a fun fact that perfectly captures her vibrant personality. With a degree as a Medical Office Assistant, Javiera has found her passion in the aesthetics industry. Growing up in a home where skin health wasn’t a priority, she loves that her role allows her to learn about proper skincare, and pass that knowledge on to her son to help protect his skin for the future.

Outside of the clinic, Javiera enjoys salsa dancing, spending time with her fiancé, son, and her two French bulldogs, Chester and Vinnie. Whether she’s soaking up the sun (always with her sunscreen!) or finding joy in a freshly cleaned space, she brings positivity to everything she does.
