Amanda Zanellato, also known as “Pretty Needle Nurse”, is a certified Cosmetic Nurse Injector and founder of Pretty Med Spa. Amanda has always had a passion for helping others gain confidence and feel empowered. From an early age her passion for all things beauty developed. After graduating nursing school, she worked in behavioral health, but ultimately decided to pursue her passion for beauty by launching her long held interest in medical aesthetics. On Amanda’s free time she enjoys spending time with family and friends, going to pilates, and staying up to date with the latest beauty trends.

Amanda became a certified nurse injector through the Audrey Rose Institute, where her passion for aesthetics truly began. Following her certification, she pursued advanced training in injectables, including dermal fillers and Botox, and was instantly captivated by the art and science of cosmetic treatments. In September 2023, she took a bold step toward her lifelong dream and launched her own business, Pretty Needle Nurse LLC, offering personalized injection services in Boston and Bridgewater, MA. Just over a year later, in November 2024, building on that success, Amanda took the next big step in November 2024, opening her first physical location—Pretty Med Spa—in Westport, MA.

Amanda loves to customize treatments that enhance and maintain each individual’s natural beauty. She loves applying the combination of critical thinking that comes with nursing and art to create her client’s aesthetic goals. She finds it important to continue her education in aesthetics and has since been trained by the best in the industry.

Amanda has trained with some of the most respected and sought-after injectors in the aesthetic industry—both nationally and internationally—continually expanding her skills to provide top-tier care and results for her clients.
