Meet The Team
Kristie, RN
Owner
Kristie never planned on leaving Oregon, but the first months of the pandemic changed everything. Working in Critical Care during COVID-19, she witnessed firsthand the toll that reactive medicine takes—patients arriving already depleted and fighting for recovery. That experience became a defining and life changing moment in her career. Kristie wanted to change the story from crisis care to proactive, preventative wellness. Kristie has always been focused on one goal: helping people feel stronger, healthier, and more resilient before trouble strikes – leading her to open MedSpa SLO.
With over 18 years of nursing experience, Kristie brings both clinical expertise and a deep commitment to whole-body wellness. She’s a Certified Nurse Health Coach, Peptide Certified Specialist, and IV Therapy Certified Professional, blending the science of modern medicine with a holistic approach to longevity and prevention.
As a two-time international DAISY Award recipient, Kristie has been recognized for her calm leadership, compassionate care, and dedication to excellence. Today, she channels that same spirit into every patient interaction—whether guiding someone through a wellness consultation, administering IV nutrient therapy, or enhancing confidence with aesthetic treatments like gentle neurotoxin sessions and skin-brightening Hydrafacials.
She also brings her care directly to the community as a mobile IV specialist, delivering restorative drips throughout San Luis Obispo for clients who prefer wellness in the comfort of their home or office.
When she’s not in the lounge, Kristie can be found enjoying San Luis Obispo’s beautiful beaches, playing with her dog Leo, or hiking & boating with her family.
Ask Kristie why she founded MedSpa SLO and her answer stays the same: “Because no one should wait for a health scare to put themselves first.” You’ll feel her commitment every time you step foot into MedSpa SLO.
