At her core, Heidi Hermel, RNC-BAN, CFNP always knew wellness was more than skin-deep. Her career as a nurse practitioner revealed a troubling pattern, too many patients dismissed, too many one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead of accepting the status quo, Heidi followed her conviction that people deserved personalized, whole-person care. That passion became the foundation for The Skin Clinic Med Spa, a place where advanced aesthetics and functional wellness meet.

Today, Heidi leads The Skin Clinic, a growing med spa and wellness destination where clients are empowered to feel confident, supported, and cared for inside and out. From aesthetics to hormone balance, she and her team provide a thoughtful blend of science, artistry, and compassion.

• Business: The Skin Clinic Med Spa
  
• Location: Mankato, Minnesota
  
• Business Philosophy in Three Words: Empower. Educate. Elevate.
  

“We empower clients through personalized care, educate them to make informed choices, and elevate their confidence by delivering results they can feel and see.”

What Makes The Skin Clinic Different?

• A full-service destination for both aesthetics and functional wellness

• A new 14,000-square-foot wellness center designed to expand services and bring people together. 

“Middle-aged women are craving connection. That’s why our new space includes a large conference room and patio for events focused on community, not just transactions.”

• A mission to show women that symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or weight gain aren’t “just part of aging”.

A Practice Born from Passion

For Heidi, wellness is personal. Becoming a mother deepened her belief that taking care of yourself is essential to showing up for others. That experience sharpened her focus on women’s health and fueled her dedication to helping clients feel like themselves again.

Her business philosophy Empower. Educate. Elevate…is more than words. It’s the guiding principle behind her team’s work every day.

Building on Innovation

The Skin Clinic is in the middle of an exciting transformation. With the expansion of its new wellness center, Heidi is creating a place for both advanced clinical care and genuine community. By combining aesthetics, hormone health, and lifestyle support, she’s positioning her clinic as a leader in integrative wellness across the region.

A Wellness Myth She’s Breaking

Heidi is passionate about dismantling the idea that hormone imbalance is simply part of aging.

“Symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, or low libido aren’t normal, they’re signs your body needs support. You don’t have to settle.”

Advice That Guides Her

“Build your brand on service, not sales. If you put people first and truly care about their outcomes, success follows.”

This people-first mentality has become a hallmark of The Skin Clinic experience.
