Founder & Owner

Laura Lima is the founder and owner of Plymouth IV Lounge. She is a board-certified Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner with a subspecialty in Cardiology and has worked in healthcare for over two decades.

Laura began her career as a certified nursing assistant at a local nursing home before earning her BSN from Saint Anselm College of Nursing in 2003. After serving as a bedside nurse, clinical leader, and preceptor on a Cardiac Unit, she graduated with honors from the University of Massachusetts Medical School in 2012 with her Master’s degree.

She initially practiced as a Pulmonary and Critical Care Nurse Practitioner before discovering her passion for Vascular Surgery. Laura has extensive expertise in arterial and venous disease, as well as the management of medically complex patients and advanced wound care.

With a strong belief in treating the whole person, Laura later expanded her training to include certification in aesthetic services. She embraces a holistic approach to care, helping clients feel confident and well — both inside and out.

Laura is the recipient of a local Community Award for her dedication to precepting Nurse Practitioner students. She is also a member of Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing, the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, the American Med Spa Association, the New England Society of Vascular Surgery, and the American Geriatrics Society.

Lauren, BSN, RN

Lauren is a Mattapoisett native currently residing in New Bedford with her husband and two children. She earned her BSN from Simmons College in 2008 and brings over 16 years of experience as a bedside nurse specializing in cardiac critical care, with particular expertise in acute heart failure and ventricular support devices.

Her passion for wellness began after the birth of her children and deepened while working through the pandemic, ultimately leading her into aesthetics. Lauren holds multiple advanced certifications in neurotoxin and dermal fillers and is dedicated to continuing her education to remain at the forefront of aesthetic medicine. As our Aesthetics Nurse, she combines clinical precision with an artistic approach to deliver safe, natural-looking results.

Outside of work, Lauren enjoys solo shopping trips with a coffee in hand, time with her big, busy family, a good mixed drink, and doing her best to keep her flowers alive.

Sara, BSN, RN

Sara is a devoted wife, mom, and self-proclaimed lover of shoes, wine, and all things fabulous. In addition to keeping up with her busy household, she brings over 16 years of experience in IV therapy to the Plymouth IV Lounge team.

Sara earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Simmons College in Boston alongside Lauren. Her clinical background is rooted primarily in oncology, with additional experience caring for patients with multiple sclerosis, gastroenterology, and hematologic conditions. Prior to joining Plymouth IV Lounge, she worked as an IV Therapy RN in several hospital systems and outpatient care clinics, where she refined her expertise in infusion-based treatments.

Recently, Sara discovered a passion for vitamin infusion therapy and is excited to be part of this evolving and innovative area of healthcare. She is committed to helping clients feel energized, restored, and supported in their overall wellness journey.

When she’s not at work, Sara enjoys spending time with her husband, their two sweet (and wonderfully wild) little boys, and their bulldog, affectionately known as Mr. Donnie Donuts. As a family, they love beach days, being outdoors, and cozy snuggles with their pup.

Sara is honored to be part of such a dynamic team and looks forward to helping every client feel their very best.
