About Joanna Hovorka, RN

Founder of MinnGlow Aesthetics | Roseau, Minnesota

Hi, I’m Joanna — or Jo, Registered Nurse and founder of MinnGlow Aesthetics. I graduated from Northwest Technical College in Bemidji and began my nursing career in home care and hospice, where I learned that true care means seeing the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. I eventually brought that same compassion into aesthetics, creating a space where people can feel confident, cared for, and naturally beautiful.

At MinnGlow Aesthetics, my focus is on safe, personalized, and natural results. Whether it’s Xeomin for softening fine lines, microneedling for brighter skin, or recommending the perfect Epionce skincare routine, my goal is to enhance what’s already there — not change it. I believe beauty should look effortless, feel authentic, and always come with a little glow.

Based inside Revive Salon & Spa in Roseau, I work under a medical director, Jordan Dorsey, to ensure every service meets the highest standards of safety and professionalism. My favorite part of this journey? Watching clients light up when they see themselves in a new way — confident, radiant, and empowered.

Outside of work, I’m happiest spending time with my son, family and cats, doing my favorite “grandma hobbies” like gardening, canning, and crafting. A few years ago, I even wrote and self-published a children’s book for my son, Bronc. It may not have made it far beyond our bookshelf, but seeing his excitement made it a total success in my eyes. I’m a total Christmas lover — there’s nothing better than a cozy night with twinkle lights and a mug of cocoa. And every year, I trade Minnesota snow for Florida sunshine, where I recharge by the ocean and soak up beach days that inspire the calm, grounded energy I bring into my treatments.

I truly believe confidence is an extension of self-care, and I’m so grateful to bring that philosophy to my clients here in northern Minnesota. At MinnGlow, you’ll always find warmth, honesty, and a touch of small-town heart — because real beauty begins with how you feel. 

Thank you for trusting me with your skin care journey and allowing me to be a part of your glow.
