The people behind Mökki skin care

A women-owned practice founded by Laura Patterson, with NP-led medical oversight from Medical Director Michelle Phillips, FNP. Serving Kalispell and Columbia Falls, Montana.

The People Behind Mökki

A small team, on purpose. You see the same faces every visit, and they know your skin’s history because they wrote it.

Laura Patterson, founder, aesthetician and laser technician at Mökki Aesthetics

Laura Patterson

Licensed Master Esthetician · Certified Laser Technician · Founder

For more than a decade, Laura has had the privilege of helping people feel confident in their skin. Her passion for aesthetics has grown into something much deeper than skincare.

She founded Mökki Aesthetics from a belief that exceptional skin health does not have to mean compromising who you are. Her treatments are thoughtful, intentional, and rooted in science, while still honoring the individual person sitting in front of her.

As a Licensed Master Esthetician and Certified Laser Technician, Laura has spent her career pursuing advanced education and continuing to expand her knowledge in medical aesthetics, advanced skincare, laser technology, skin correction, regenerative treatments, and the science behind healthy skin. She is always learning, researching, and seeking out treatments and technologies that allow her to provide safe, effective, and meaningful results.

But Mökki is about more than technology and treatments. It is about skin health, confidence, and caring for the whole person, not just the skin.

Laura’s approach is rooted in the belief that healthy skin is the foundation of beautiful skin. She is passionate about protecting the skin barrier, supporting the skin’s natural ability to regenerate, and creating individualized treatment plans rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. She wants her clients to understand their skin, feel empowered in their choices, and know they have someone in their corner throughout the journey.

Outside of Mökki, Laura is happiest on horseback, spending time at the river, hiking a Montana trail, or simply getting outside and enjoying the beauty around her. She is a mom, a lifelong lover of the outdoors, and someone who believes there is something special about slowing down, getting your boots a little dirty, and remembering what really matters.

That connection to nature inspires Mökki: a place where advanced clinical aesthetics can exist alongside a grounded, holistic philosophy. Laura does not believe in changing what makes someone uniquely them. She believes in helping people feel like the best, healthiest version of themselves.

Science-backed treatments. Natural, thoughtful results. Healthy skin. And care that sees the whole person.

Welcome to Mökki. Where skin meets holistic and clinical.

Michelle Phillips, FNP, Medical Director at Mökki Aesthetics

Michelle Phillips, FNP

Medical Director · Family Nurse Practitioner

Michelle was born in Brisbane, Queensland and grew up on the Gold Coast of Australia, near Surfers Paradise, known locally as the injectables capital. From day one as a registered nurse she worked as an aesthetic nurse, and she has never done anything else.

The art of skin care became a passion. She created her own skincare products and honed her skill in injectable anti-wrinkle treatments, always with an eye on healthy healing and preserving a natural, youthful look rather than an obvious one. After years of hard work and rising to the top of her field in Australia, she was offered the chance to bring her talent to Beverly Hills, California.

Then she learned about Montana. She visited, fell in love with the mountains, and fell in love with the man who is now her husband. Montana is home now, and she skis, camps, fishes, and hikes here with him and their German Shepherd, Bear.

“Ongoing education gives you the knowledge and expertise medicine actually requires. You are never just a number.”

Why Most Skin Treatments Don't Last

About Mökki Aesthetics

Mökki Aesthetics, also written Mokki Aesthetics, is a women-owned medical aesthetics business founded by Laura Patterson, with NP-led medical oversight from Medical Director Michelle Phillips, FNP. We serve Kalispell, Columbia Falls, Whitefish, and the Flathead Valley with facials, hydro facials, microneedling, PRX bio revitalization, chemical peels, and UltraClear laser care.

Visit us inside Flathead Esthetics at 2310 U.S. Highway 2 E, Suite 1, Kalispell, MT 59901, or inside Poppy & Aster Beauty Bar at 125 6th St W, Columbia Falls, MT 59912. UltraClear laser is available in Kalispell only. Injectable services are not offered.

Most med spas focus on quick fixes, treating surface-level symptoms without addressing what's actually causing your skin concerns. That's why issues like acne, sensitivity, and signs of aging keep coming back.

At Mökki, we combine clinical, medical-grade treatments with a root-cause approach to skin health, building fully personalized plans tailored to your skin, your lifestyle, and your goals.

No two skins are the same, and your treatment shouldn't be either.

Root-Cause Skin Analysis

Finally understand your skin, and fix it.

Most skincare treatments focus on what you see on the surface. We focus on what's happening underneath. We take the time to analyze your skin, identify root causes, and guide you through treatments that support long-term skin health, not just a temporary improvement.

Education is part of the process, so you understand your skin and feel confident in your care every step of the way.

Medical-grade skincare products
Our Approach

Clinical treatments, holistic principles.

Instead of recommending the same treatments for everyone, we build customized plans based on your skin, your goals, and what your skin actually needs.
