Ashley Moriarty
RN, BSN and Owner of Mor Esthetics
Cosmetic procedures are a very personalized experience. That’s why it’s important to know and trust who you’re working with to achieve your esthetic enhancement goals. The outcomes have as much to do with the person and placements as they do the products.
Meet Ashley Moriarty, RN, BSN and Owner of Mor Esthetics. “Helping women with their confidence and seeing the patients’ reactions to their results is the best part of my day in my job,” she says. From her personal experience, she believes that when you’re feeling good about yourself, you’re a better wife, mom and friend. “I am the best version of myself when I’m feeling good in my skin.” And as someone who’s always been passionate about transformation and artistry, she’s privileged to help her clients meet their goals esthetically.
After years of working in the nursing field, and becoming a mother of three children, Ashley needed better hours to tend to her growing family and was able to transition her foundation of nursing care and knowledge of general medicine into a new career and passion when she started Mor Esthetics in 2018. Originally from the Scranton area, she met her husband while in school in Philadelphia where she received her Bachelors in Nursing at Thomas Jefferson University and began working at Hahnemann University Hospital. The couple relocated to the Lancaster area in 2010 while Ashley worked in the Neurology Intensive Care Unit at Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and then moved into outpatient surgery.
Ashley believes there are three factors that contribute to her success in esthetics and why her patients choose to work with her. “I am always continuing my education in the ever-evolving facial esthetics field,” she says. “For example, techniques being used last year have already changed.” She specializes in unique offerings that can’t be found anywhere in Lancaster County such as the new Morpheus skin-tightening technology, liquid rhinoplasty (a non-surgical precise procedure using filler), and midface enhancements in delicate areas like under eyes and cheeks. But most importantly, she says, her relationships with her clients are not transactional. “I schedule time to get to know each of my patients, form a bond and earn their trust.”
Ashley B.
BSN, CCRN, and AAFE (American Academy of Facial Esthetics) of Mor Esthetics
Meet Ashley Bowermaster, BSN, CCRN, and now AAFE (American Academy of Facial Esthetics) Certified nurse injector at Mor Esthetics. Ashley works at Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health’s Post Anesthesia Care Unit and started with Mor Esthetics in February. She has been a nurse for 13 years with eight of those working in the Intensive Care Unit.
“I have always been interested in beauty and esthetics,” Ashley says. With the rise in nurses wanting to get into the field, she explains that she’s especially grateful for owner and nurse esthetician Ashley Moriarty’s mentorship and training.
Ashley B., as the team calls her, is now accepting clients for Botox and fillers. “It’s all very popular right now,” she affirms, citing her own group of friends and their Botox parties that grew to 17 women. She started getting Botox as preventative maintenance two years ago and quickly found out how many women she knew were also interested in esthetic procedures.
Ashley, her husband, and sons, ages 9 and 10, live in Willow Street in a historic 1900s farmhouse just down the street from where she grew up. A family of nature lovers, she says, “We do a lot of outdoor stuff like camping.” They also have three dogs: two Cocker Spaniels and a Cockapoo. Fun fact: Ashley is a twin!

Erica R.
Esthetician of Mor Esthetics
Meet esthetician Erica Rivera who joined Mor Esthetics in February. Born and raised in Lancaster, and a recent grad of Lancaster School of Cosmetology after a dental career change, Erica says, "I've always been someone who wanted to make my friends and family look and feel beautiful." She would always offer to do their makeup, hair, or help with fashion choices. Once she saw the esthetician program, she knew, "that's where I need to be."
Erica will be offering micro-needling and Morpheus, dermaplaning, hydro facials and VI Peel chemical peel. She's looking forward to helping people on their journey to feeling confident and beautiful.
Erica lives in East Lampeter with her husband and 2 poodle mix dogs. When she's not working she enjoys spending time with friends and family, especially spoiling her nieces and nephews, going out to dinner and watching movies. "In my free time, I try to enjoy wherever life takes me."

Rena V.
Nurse of Mor Esthetics
Meet Rena, a longtime colleague and friend of Ashley Moriarty, owner of Mor Esthetics. Rena has been a nurse anesthetist for 23 years and works at Lancaster General Hospital and The Children’s Surgery Center in Lancaster. She emigrated from Greece to New Orleans where she received her nursing and nurse anesthesia degrees.
For Rena, the best part of working with Mor Esthetics is helping women feel more excited about themselves. “It doesn’t have to be a huge change to make someone feel good.”
“With a little Botox or filler, your’re going to see a smoother face and a rejuvenated look. When you look in the mirror, you feel refreshed. There’s nothing wrong with feeling good about yourself.”
Rena is now booking Botox and filler appointments for 2023. Follow her at @Refresh_by_Rena.
