Our Providers

Catara Med Spa is a small, independent medical spa in Algonquin, Illinois, and the people on this page are the whole team. Every treatment we offer is delivered by one of them, so it is worth knowing who does what before you book.

The practice is led by Cathy Neuhalfen, our Founder and CEO, with Stefanie Drozd as Medical Director. Injectable treatments are handled by our aesthetic nurse injectors, Lily Zelaya, RN and Ava Packiewicz, RN. Skin and facial treatments are led by Karlene Stitle, an advanced clinical aesthetician, and Jeanne Foote, a licensed aesthetician who is also our clinic manager. Lynette Reedy, a certified medical assistant, supports the clinical side of the practice.

Each name above opens that person's own page, where you can read their background and the credentials they hold. If you are deciding who to see, that is usually the most useful place to start. If you would rather browse by what you want done, our treatments pages cover the full menu.

You will find us at 308 S Main Street, Algonquin, IL 60102, in a Victorian building in historic downtown Algonquin, a short walk from the Fox River and the shops on Main Street.
