Down 60 lbs after breast cancer: Dr. Jacqueline Morgan Van Montague's Jupiter med spa
The Doctor of Functional Medicine and Master Esthetician used i-Lipo and EMS on herself first, then built a two-studio, non-surgical practice around them in Palm Beach County.
Dr. Jacqueline Morgan Van Montague is a Doctor of Functional Medicine, Master Esthetician and certified life, health and wellness coach who owns Palm Beach Body Sculpting & Skin, a non-surgical med spa with studios in Jupiter and West Palm Beach, Florida. The practice is family-owned and operated, and the technologies on its menu are the same ones she used on herself. A breast cancer survivor who gained weight after treatment, she lost 60 lbs using i-Lipo and EMS at her own studio. That sequence, patient first and proprietor second, is the organizing fact of her practice.

Dr. Jacqueline Morgan Van Montague's Own 60 lb Transformation After Breast Cancer
Morgan Van Montague lost 60 lbs using the i-Lipo and EMS machines available at Palm Beach Body Sculpting & Skin, after gaining weight following breast cancer treatment. The practice states that her passion for empowering others to look and feel their absolute best is fueled by her own story as a breast cancer survivor.
Following her treatment, she experienced weight gain and, as the studio describes it, embarked on a journey to reclaim her health and vitality. She combined healthy habits with the technologies already in the studio, and the result was both a physical change and, the practice says, a firsthand experience that provides a level of empathy and understanding in her approach to client care. The studio puts it plainly on its about page: her journey, including her experience using i-Lipo and EMS technology to reclaim her health, shapes the way the entire team approaches every client relationship.
How Dr. Jacqueline Morgan Van Montague's Functional Medicine Program Uses Bloodwork to Guide Weight Loss
The functional medicine program at Palm Beach Body Sculpting & Skin begins with a one-on-one consultation covering the client's health, lifestyle and goals. It is led by Morgan Van Montague in her capacity as Doctor of Functional Medicine and Master Esthetician. The practice then orders targeted bloodwork to identify what the body needs before any plan is written.
From that bloodwork, the team builds what it describes as a fully customized plan intended to optimize metabolism, balance hormones, support sustainable weight loss and restore energy. The practice frames the program as addressing the root cause of weight gain rather than offering a quick fix, and states that it does not believe in quick fixes. Functional medicine consultations for root-cause weight loss and hormone balance are listed among the specific points of difference the studio claims against other med spas in the area.
What the consultation covers before a plan is written
Consultations at Morgan Van Montague's studios focus on understanding a client's specific goals, lifestyle, and skin or body concerns before any treatment path is recommended. The practice describes its philosophy as listening first, and says the better outcomes come from plans built around a client's actual story rather than a one-size-fits-all checklist. That applies whether a client is exploring a single service or a comprehensive plan combining body and skin treatments.
The Non-Surgical Treatments Offered at Dr. Jacqueline Morgan Van Montague's Studios
Palm Beach Body Sculpting & Skin offers i-Lipo laser fat reduction, EMS muscle toning and RF skin tightening on the body side, and HydroFacials, the Glass Skin Facial, BioRePeel and a non-surgical face lift on the skin side. The practice also specializes in lymphatic drainage and the non-surgical BBL.
I-Lipo uses low-level laser technology to target and shrink fat cells in stubborn areas, and the practice lists the abdomen, thighs, arms, love handles, back and bra line, and hips. EMS, or electrical muscle stimulation, produces rapid, deep muscle contractions that the practice describes as beyond what traditional exercise can achieve, and is listed for abs, glutes, arms and thighs. RF skin tightening uses radiofrequency energy to firm, lift and smooth loose or aging skin, listed for the stomach, arms, thighs, buttocks, jawline and facial areas.
The facial menu at both Jupiter and West Palm Beach
The skin side of Morgan Van Montague's menu is built for a range of skin types and concerns, and both studios offer the same full list. The practice describes the following:
- HydroFacials, which deeply cleanse, exfoliate and hydrate while infusing nourishing serums.
- Glass Skin Facial, described as a premium treatment designed to refine pores and improve texture.
- BioRePeel, a no-downtime peel the practice lists for acne, pigmentation, dullness and overall skin rejuvenation.
- Non-Surgical Face Lift, which the studio describes as a zero downtime facelift with no needles, intended to smooth fine lines and sculpt and define.
