Facility Owner

Lynn’s love of aesthetics goes back to her years as the founder of Exhibit Arts, an Exhibit Design and Management firm in New York City. She moved to Israel in 1995 with her new husband, Dr. Nadiv Shapira and helped to develop a new Museum of Natural History at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, as their Exhibit Designer. After her two children were born and the Shapira family moved back to the U.S. Lynn combined her love of design and her desire to help women in need by working with Israeli Bedouin Arab women to create beautiful handmade textiles that Lynn marketed to major retail outlets in the U.S. In 2011, Lynn began to help Dr. Shapira with his busy MedSpa and eventually took over the management and marketing for First State MedSpa.
