Welcome to Canessa FNP

Who Am I?

I'm Canessa Craigo Leeflang, a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) with a dedication to empowering patients to tackle their own health concerns, skincare, hair loss, and nutrition. I’d love to help you be healthy & gain confidence in understanding lab results & supplements. With extensive experience in patient care and an extra love for dermatology, I am ready & pleased to assist you in your healthcare needs. I know that health care, medical lingo and getting labs takes time, can be expensive and is stressful. Hopefully I can decrease your stress and expense with healthcare by providing functional patient care without the middleman of big hospitals, offices and insurance. There are gaps in traditional healthcare. Together we can learn about the whys & hows of medicine while focusing on your health concerns because we have TIME during our appointments.  If you haven’t noticed, most traditional doctor/provider appointments are 10-15 minutes in length.  We have double that.

I am a practicing Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) with degrees from University of Utah and BYU. I am a licensed Utah Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) and a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist (CBS). I have worked in pediatrics for a long time, and as I have taken care of kids, I have interacted with lots of parents who have questions & need care too. I have spent the last few years learning about & doing training in dermatology, and skin care. Some of the time spent in beUTAHiful St. George at Riverside Medical Arts. Also have taken additional courses tailored towards functional, holistic health, to bring some very needed new services to my patients. 

My education and experience have brought me to a place in my career where I can offer care for new patients and also provide medical director opportunities for estheticians to provide care to their own clients with general supervision.

For interested patients, I offer a range of services including treatment for hair loss, skincare, acne management, prescription medications and supplement protocols.  See Patient link here.

For estheticians, I offer my services as a medical director, which include multiple options for your different business needs and growth. I have a basic, intermediate and more advanced package that you can decide on. See the esthetician tab. 

Thank you for seeking out my expertise on your journey to health. 

To estheticians, thank you for providing legal and safe client outcomes by investing in a medical director. 

Hope to work with you soon,

Canessa C. Leeflang, MSN, APRN, NP-C
