Wild Palms was created from a dream to create something different within the world of aesthetics and wellness.
Wild Palms is more than a medical spa, our practice was designed to be a place where patients feel comfortable sharing their concerns, goals, and dreams without judgment or pressure. It’s a place where questions are welcomed, education comes before treatment, and patients feel empowered to make decisions that are right for them.
About The Practice
Wild Palms Aesthetics & Wellness is a boutique Medical Spa destination for natural-looking aesthetic treatments and wellness-focused care. Founded by Abrah Gruber, RN, and Heather Darby, LE, our practice was built on the belief that patients deserve more than a quick appointment — they deserve time, trust, and a truly personalized experience.

Abrah Gruber RN, BSN
CO-FOUNDER & MASTER INJECTOR
With 14 years of nursing experience and more than 12 years in aesthetics, I believe aesthetic medicine is a unique blend of art, skill, science, and human connection. I’m passionate about helping patients feel confident, comfortable, and empowered through personalized care that enhances their natural beauty while honoring who they are.
Throughout my career, I have built my reputation on creating subtle, refined, and natural-looking results. My philosophy is simple: aesthetic treatments should never change who you are — you should look refreshed, confident, and like the best version of yourself. As a Master Injector, I have completed extensive training in facial aesthetics and non-surgical rejuvenation. I am committed to providing safe, ethical, and educational care for every patient I serve.
What I love most about this profession is the relationships and trust I build with my patients. Creating a space where patients feel heard, supported, and genuinely cared for has always been one of my greatest priorities. Watching someone gain confidence and truly shine is what fuels my passion for this industry.
Over the years, my interests have expanded beyond aesthetics to include regenerative, preventative, and wellness-focused medicine. I believe true beauty begins with overall health and wellness, and that how we feel on the inside plays a significant role in how we present ourselves to the world. This belief became one of the driving forces behind the creation of Wild Palms Aesthetics & Wellness.
As a wife and mother of two daughters, I spend much of my life surrounded by women navigating the many demands of family, career, and personal growth. Through those experiences, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for how important it is to feel heard, valued, and confident. That understanding shapes both the way I practice.
Wild Palms was created to be a welcoming, judgment-free space – where patients feel comfortable sharing their goals, asking questions, and exploring treatment options without pressure. We believe education comes before treatment, relationships come before transactions, and confidence begins with feeling truly cared for. I believe confidence creates a ripple effect—when we feel comfortable in our own skin, we show up differently for our families, our relationships, our careers, and the world around us.

Heather Darby LE
CO-FOUNDER & LICENSED ESTHETICIAN
Heather is a Licensed Esthetician and Co-founder of Wild Palms Aesthetics & Wellness. With a background in healthcare, she’s always been drawn to work that allows her to care for others. Aesthetics is a passion that allows her knowledge to help people feel cared for. Heather believes that skincare isn’t simply about achieving healthy, glowing skin — but also a moment of peace. A chance to slow down, recharge, and reconnect with yourself. Self-care is one of the most valuable investments we can make. When we intentionally care for ourselves, we show up with more patience, more confidence, and more energy for the people who matter most.
Her work combines her passion for caring for others with her belief that everyone deserves to feel confident, supported, and truly cared for. Every treatment Heather provides is about more than improving your skin — it's about creating an experience where you can take a break from the demands of everyday life, feel seen, and leave feeling refreshed from the inside out.
One of her greatest passions is helping clients build healthy skin from the inside out. Whether it's through advanced treatments like microneedling or creating a simple, effective skincare routine that fits your lifestyle, Heather is here to help her patients understand their skin and feel confident caring for it every day.
“There's nothing more rewarding than watching someone begin to see real changes, regain confidence, and genuinely light up when they look in the mirror. Those moments are why I love what I do.”
Outside of the treatment room, I'm a proud mom of five amazing boys (yes, five!), and you'll usually find me on the sidelines of a baseball field or in a basketball gym cheering them on. Family is at the center of everything I do, and some of my favorite days are the simple ones—spending time with my husband and boys, loving on our dogs, or unwinding by the water. Those moments remind me how important it is to slow down and be present, and they continue to inspire the calm, welcoming experience I strive to create for every client who walks through our doors.
My hope is that Wild Palms becomes more than a place for skincare. I want it to be a place where you feel welcomed, cared for, and encouraged to invest in yourself without guilt. Because when you feel your best, you can give your best—to your family, your friends, your career, and most importantly, to yourself.
