The Awaken Difference: Kati Howard's Clinic & Injection Philosophy
More Than a Training Day. A Real Clinical Education.
Learn the way Kati learned: inside an actual practice, with real patients.
At Awaken, training happens in the same rooms where Kati treats her own patients every day. Not a staged demo. Not a lecture hall. A live, working clinical environment where you'll observe real consultations, real treatment planning, real injection decisions, and ask every question you need to ask.
Kati keeps her groups small by design. Because meaningful mentorship doesn't happen in a crowd. It happens in the room, at the table, with a needle in your hand and an expert next to you who's been doing this for over two decades.
This is the kind of education that changes the way you practice, not just the way you inject.
Train Directly with Kati Howard

Built on Precision. Grounded in Care. Guided by Experience.
Kati doesn't teach protocols. She teaches judgment.
Kati Howard co-founded Awaken Medical Aesthetics in 2008 with a single conviction: that putting the patient's best interest ahead of everything else is what separates a great injector from a great provider. That same philosophy drives how she trains.
Her approach goes beyond technique. Trainees leave with a deeper understanding of:
-Facial assessment and holistic treatment planning
-Injection placement, layering, and anatomical precision
-Product selection and dilution strategy
-Consultation flow and patient communication
-How to build trust and deliver results that look like the patient, not like filler
"I feel that putting my client's best interest ahead of mine or my business is what sets myself and Awaken apart." — Kati Howard, MSN, FNP-C
