Shakira Cabrera, MPAS, PA-C

Shakira graduated from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio in 2006 with a dual Masters of Physician Assistant Studies and Bachelor’s in Health Care Science. She worked mostly inpatient Medicine in Cardiology, Neurology, and as a Hospitalist. In 2012, she was hired as a PA for the Trauma/Plastic Surgery department at one of the Level 1 Trauma Centers in San Antonio, Brooke Army Medical Center. As part of the Physician Assistant team there, she covered the Trauma bay, ICU, inpatient wards, Surgery clinic and scrubbed into surgeries as a First Assist. It was during her time in the operating room that her love for surgery and aesthetics began. Caring for the complicated trauma and reconstruction patients with a long road to recovery and helping them regain their life and confidence is what gave her joy.

In 2015, she left Brooke Army Medical Center and began her surgical first assist company. She worked with Plastic Surgeons in the community assisting them with cases in the operating room. Although she loved the operating room, she still longed for a way to have her own patients outside of surgery. In 2018, she dove into Aesthetics full force with the goal to grow her own practice and have those relationships again as she did with her reconstruction patients. She’s made it her priority to train with the best worldwide to offer her San Antonio patients cutting-edge procedures and skills.

INTERESTS include Running, salsa dancing, and spending time with her family.

EDUCATION AND TRAINING

Throughout her training in Aesthetics, she’s been privileged to learn the techniques and trade of injectable medicine from the top cosmetic injectors in the country. She believes it is critical for a clinician to continue his or her education and training. She now is a trainer for other injectors and travels around the state training others. She believes learning and having the student mentality is vital in this ever-changing field.

Aesthetic Medicine is a practice and an art!

Claire Bassler, RN

Claire is a San Antonio native. She joins Jules Aesthetic and Wellness with an educational background in Nutrition and Nursing. In 2013, she graduated from Texas A&M College Station with a Bachelor’s in Nutritional Science. Shortly thereafter she decided to take a step towards her desire to become a Registered Nurse. Claire attended the University of the Incarnate Word’s Nursing Program and graduated with a Bachelor’s in Nursing in 2019. During this program, received recognition for her study endeavor and was inducted into Sigma Theta Tau National Honor Society. Just ask her and she will tell you how her passion for the field of nursing came full circle. 

Following graduation, Claire accepted a position that required her to care for critically ill COVID patients on University Hospitals Acute Care Unit. During the most uncertain times, she was able to provide hope, comfort, and empathy to both patients and family members. Once the initial surge lessened, she accepted a position on a floor she now calls home. Claire works as a Transplant and Cardiothoracic nurse, caring for your loved ones pre, intra and postoperatively, and often months to years post-surgery. The journey to transplant is extensive, but she spends time cultivating relationships with patients that extend beyond their preliminary hospital stay. 

At Jules Aesthetics and Wellness, Claire is one of our Nurse Injector. She first dove into the world of Aesthetics in early 2020. During that year, she assisted at a local med spa and spent her free time studying educational and research pieces in aesthetics. It was not until 2021 that she took the plunge and enrolled in Jules Aesthetic and Wellness Novice Neuromodulator course. During the clinical portion of the course, she was amazed at how comfortable being a provider felt. When she is not working at University Hospital, she is diving deep into the world of aesthetics. Her goal is to provide cutting-edge service to her current and future patients. She looks forward to meeting you in her chair.
