Delray Spa Owner Facing Charge of Practicing Medicine Without License

June 7, 2018

Jennifer Aspen owns Mermaid’s Skin and Wellness, which offers services such as IV drips and Botox and hormone injections by “certified & licensed professionals,” according to its website. Yet a Florida Department of Health investigator found that Aspen – the spa’s only full-time employee – is a certified nursing assistant and not allowed to administer any of those treatments, said Brad Dalton, DOH spokesman.
