Danae Enriquez, RN
A registered nurse with seven years in emergency and trauma medicine, now bringing that same clinical rigor and patient-first care to aesthetics and wellness at Defiance Health.
"The fundamentals don't change between the ER and the treatment room: know your patient, respect the details, and never cut corners on safety."
Danae Enriquez is a Colorado-licensed Registered Nurse who built her career in some of the highest-stakes settings in medicine — a Level III trauma emergency room and 911 ambulance service across the San Luis Valley. That background shapes how she practices: methodical, calm under pressure, and obsessive about doing things the right way.
At Defiance Health, Danae brings that emergency-trained discipline to the aesthetics and wellness side of the practice, working alongside our clinical team to deliver treatments safely and comfortably for patients throughout the San Luis Valley.
Trained where the details matter most.
Danae has spent seven years in emergency medicine — first as an emergency department technician and EMT, then as a registered nurse in a Level III trauma emergency room. She continues to serve her community on a 911 ambulance as an EMT-B with IV certification, providing emergency care and interfacility transport across the San Luis Valley.
Emergency and trauma nursing demand sharp assessment skills, steady hands, and constant attention to patient safety and comfort — the exact qualities that make for an outstanding aesthetics and wellness nurse. Danae carries a full stack of advanced trauma and life-support certifications and stays current on all of them.
