THE MAGNOLIA TEAM

TONYA POUNDS, FNP

Owner of Magnolia Healthcare & Aesthetics

A North Carolina native with deep roots just outside Raleigh, Tonya began her career in education after earning her undergraduate degree from East Carolina University. She later followed her calling into healthcare, completing her nursing degree at Wake Technical Community College before joining the Neurology and PACU team at UNC REX Hospital.

Tonya’s genuine passion for caring for others inspired her to advance her education, earning both her BSN and MSN and becoming a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner.

Since 2017, Tonya has served patients as a Nurse Practitioner in anesthesia at WakeMed and in pediatric urgent care with NiteLite. She later expanded her expertise into aesthetic medicine, completing advanced certification through the Laser Institute in Charlotte.

Today, Tonya brings her clinical knowledge and artistic eye together to provide personalized care across aesthetics, weight management and hormone health. From Tox and dermal fillers to microneedling, facial peels and comprehensive wellness services, her goal is always the same: to help every patient feel confident, cared for and like the very best version of themselves.

When she isn’t caring for patients, Tonya loves traveling, soaking up the salty air along the North Carolina coast and spending quality time with her fiancé and family, especially her nieces, nephews, and pups!
