My name is Lucille Trice. I am a Licensed Practical Nurse, Licensed Massage Therapist, Certified Lymphatic Therapist, and Full Service Esthetician in the state of Florida. I have enjoyed my career in nursing for over 24 years.  I began my career as a field medic for the United States Army and earned my nursing license while serving. After my honorable discharge, I continued nursing up and down the east coast finally settling in Florida and working for the Lee Health system.  My primary background is in Cardiac medicine and Pediatrics.  I walked away from the hospital setting a few years ago in search of a way to continue to help people within a less stressful environment. I now look forward to applying my knowledge of the human body and my medical experience to help people improve the quality of their skin, general health, and relieve their pain through the application of holistic/vegan skincare and therapeutic massage therapies.
