MEET OUR TEAM

Kristie Devine is a board-certified registered nurse and the founder of Avandi Aesthetics LLC. She graduated with honors from Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, California, in 2008, and also holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business from Sierra Nevada College in Incline Village, Nevada. Kristie began her nursing career in the Neuro ICU, oncology, and hospice/home health, where she developed a deep sense of compassion for her patients.

In 2017, Kristie discovered her passion for aesthetics, blending her medical expertise with her artistic eye and attention to detail. This transition marked the beginning of her dedication to helping women enhance their natural beauty and feel confident in their skin. Her commitment to personalized care and understanding of each client’s unique needs has earned her a stellar reputation in the Santa Ynez Valley and beyond.

Originally from Mendocino County in Northern California, Kristie moved to the Santa Ynez Valley with her family in 2016. She now lives in Santa Ynez with her two young daughters. A lover of the outdoors, Kristie enjoys photography, horseback riding, gardening, and hiking with friends. She has a passion for adventure and has traveled extensively worldwide, having lived in both Thailand and Italy. When not at home in Santa Ynez, Kristie and her daughters often spend time at their second home on the beaches of Mexico.

Kristie believes that small improvements in self-care can be life-changing. She says, “There is nothing wrong about feeling a little bit better about yourself when you look in the mirror. Just the slightest confidence boost can help you stand up a little straighter, look people in the eye, and smile. Confidence gets you off the couch and into the real world to start living.”
