Jamie Slovenski RN, BSN

Founder, CEO

I started my journey in the Health care field in 2005 when I graduated from San Jose State University with my Bachelors of Science in Nursing. This is when I decided to make patient advocacy and available health care for all, a priority in my life.

I have spent the last sixteen years at a local hospital in the Intensive Care Unit. I have also dedicated the last six years to the Monterey County Health Department helping victims of sexual crime as a Sexual Assault Forensic Examiner.

During this time, I have noticed a need in the community that is not being met. Our Emergency rooms are filled daily with people who don’t require a hospital level of care, most times a simple IV drip gets them feeling better. The time, cost and exposure to those patients can be overwhelming. I hope to decrease this load on our health care system and I feel the knowledge I have gained over my career has prepared me to provide this service and education to the public.

This was the reason I founded Injected Artistry.

My mission is to provide a service that not only decreases the need for hospitalizations and other expensive medical treatments but helps to promote better health and wellness through injectables and education.

I feel privileged to have the ability to bring a product to the public that will not only assist with my mission but in turn help people look better and best of all, feel better.

I am a start-up company that is hoping to reach the masses by proving signature IV hydration drips and injectable solutions that cover a multitude of purposes for health, beauty and wellness.

Christine Rochon RN, BSN Clinical Manager

I received my Bachelors of Science in Nursing from the University of Ottawa, in Ottawa Ontario Canada. As a new graduate I was given an opportunity to relocate to the central coast in 2008. Since then, I have become a critical care RN, and had the pleasure of working in several ICUs over the years. The fast pace of the unit and the constant changes of medicine have encouraged me to pursue medicine from a different, yet very exciting perspective. My passion is now focused on helping and providing the community with their personal health and wellness journeys.

Shannon Maguire, RN, MN Clinical Nurse

Shannon was born and raised in Hollister, CA. She graduated from Auburn University in 2020 with a Bachelors of Science in Rehabilitation and Disability Studies. During the pandemic, Shannon came back to California and worked as a phlebotomist in her hometown hospital. In 2022, she returned to the South as a nursing student at Emory University to pursue her Masters Degree. At the end of her program in August of 2023, Shannon made her final move to Pacific Grove, CA to settle near her family and begin her career as a nurse. The impact of IV hydration and supplement support in Shannon’s personal health journey led her to this clinic.

Jeannette Vela RN, BSN Clinical Nurse

A Southern California native, I attended CSUMB for undergraduate school and transferred to the University of Ottawa in Canada where I obtained my Bachelors of Science in Nursing in 2006. After graduating I returned back home and my passion for women’s health led me to work an amazing 15 years as a Labor and Delivery nurse. In 2021 my family had the opportunity to relocate to the Monterey Peninsula. As a hospital worker during the pandemic, I began to feel a shift in the way I saw healthcare. I wanted a more individualized and holistic approach to health. I made the decision to step away from the hospital setting and focus more on health and wellness.

Cahtrina Hurst

My family and I moved to the area in early September of 2022 from Los Angeles. At a very young age, I have been extremely adamant about having a career in healthcare so, I am currently pursuing my Bachelor of Science-Nursing at Nebraska Wesleyan University. I am ecstatic to be able to provide care that is typically unavailable in other hospitals and clinics. I am able to fulfill my passion for helping people through the IV Lounge while also learning how to connect with patients in a way that I can’t learn from a textbook. I also hold positions in a local nursing home and assisted living facility.

Jessica Aboytes
Medical Assistant

I have lived locally for 20 years. I worked in sales at a young age and when I had downtime I’d slowly take a class to pursue my dream in healthcare. I found my passion in holistic care after I had children. I decided to take a leap of faith and change careers when I needed to be fulfilled in helping others in a different way. I have three children, one boy and two girls. We love taking day trips and camping every summer. I spend every season chasing all three of them from a field to a court. I am excited to be a part of the IV Lounge family and starting my new dream.
