Courtney Nickels
Owner & Lead Injector
With 20 years of experience as a nurse practitioner, Courtney Nickels has dedicated her career to caring for others through primary care, emergency medicine, and urgent care. After the challenges and demands of the COVID-19 pandemic, Courtney felt it was time to embrace a new chapter in her career and pursue a longtime interest in skincare, aesthetics, and wellness.
What began as a personal passion grew into Luma Aesthetics + Wellness, a practice built around her belief that looking and feeling your best go hand in hand.
As founder, owner, and lead injector, Courtney combines her extensive medical background with an artistic eye and a personalized approach to aesthetic medicine. Her philosophy is to enhance natural beauty, create refreshed and balanced results, and help patients feel confident without ever losing what makes them uniquely beautiful.
Through Luma, Courtney is passionate about offering more than aesthetic treatments. She strives to create an experience where patients feel comfortable, heard, and empowered to invest in themselves. Whether through cosmetic injectables, skin rejuvenation, or wellness treatments, her goal is to help each patient look good, feel good, and age confidently.
Starkville has been home to Courtney for nearly 40 years. Having grown up in the community and later returned to raise her family, she feels a special connection to the people and community she is proud to serve. Building Luma in the place she calls home makes this next chapter especially meaningful.
Outside of Luma, Courtney enjoys traveling, indulging in spa treatments, attending sporting events, and spending quality time with family and friends.
Her philosophy: Feel confident. Age gracefully. Always be authentically you.

Your visit · Starkville, MS
Let’s start with a conversation.
You can book a consultation even if you’re still deciding which service interests you.
What if I’m unsure where to start?
Start with what you notice. That might be lines when you smile, a change in facial fullness, or a question about your energy or weight. Your own words are enough to begin the conversation.
What can I ask my provider?
Tell your provider what you’d like to change and what you’d like to keep. Ask which options fit your goals, what risks to consider, and what recovery and follow-up could look like for you.
