Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Veronica Stevens. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hi Veronica , thanks for joining us today. We’d love to hear about how you went about setting up your own practice and if you have any advice for professionals who might be considering starting their own?

When Veronica first envisioned starting Skin Sanctuary, her goal was to create a space where women struggling with persistent acne could find healing from within. After overcoming her own health challenges, she wanted her practice to provide more than just skin-deep solutions. The journey from vision to reality involved key steps, from choosing a specialized treatment approach to establishing the right environment for her clients.

Steps to Establishing Skin Sanctuary:
Veronica focused on developing a unique service model centered around DMK Skin Revision treatments, blending clinical expertise with spiritual practices like Reiki and sound healing. This required in-depth training and certification, along with carefully sourcing high-quality products and equipment. Securing a welcoming, calming space was essential for her practice’s holistic philosophy, so she invested in creating an environment where clients could feel nurtured and understood.

Key Challenges:
One major challenge was building client trust and confidence, as her approach differed from conventional skincare methods. Many clients came in with skepticism after previous treatments elsewhere had failed them. Veronica’s commitment to educating her clients about the connection between internal health and skin appearance was instrumental in establishing her reputation, but it took time and patience. Additionally, managing the business side—marketing, budgeting, and maintaining a client base—was a learning curve.

What She’d Do Differently:
Looking back, Veronica would have prioritized learning the business aspects sooner, especially around budgeting and client retention strategies. Building relationships with fellow wellness practitioners earlier on would have also helped expand her practice’s reach.

Advice for Aspiring Professionals:
For anyone considering their own practice, Veronica advises focusing on developing both your technical skills and business acumen. Authenticity and passion are critical but understanding the practicalities of running a business will set you up for long-term success. She also encourages young professionals to prioritize client education and personalized care, as it builds trust and sets your practice apart from more conventional options.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

I’m Veronica Stevens, and I specialize in acne healing and holistic skincare. My journey into this field began with my own experience navigating health challenges and a deep realization that treating symptoms alone isn’t enough. I wanted to create a space where people could find true skin health, healing from the inside out. With Skin Sanctuary, I blend clinical treatments like DMK Skin Revision Therapy with holistic practices such as Reiki and sound healing to treat not just the skin, but the whole person.

At Skin Sanctuary, I work primarily with women who have tried everything—medications, dermatologists, countless products—but still struggle with persistent acne and scarring. I provide a range of transformative skincare services, from DMK Enzyme Therapy facials to standalone Reiki and sound healing sessions, designed to support my clients’ journeys toward long-term skin health. My practice focuses on treating root causes rather than just symptoms, whether they stem from hormonal imbalances, stress, or lifestyle factors.

What sets Skin Sanctuary apart is our holistic approach. While many practitioners focus only on external skin treatments, I aim to educate and empower clients to understand the deeper connection between their skin and their overall well-being. This approach allows clients to feel more in control and see lasting results. I’m particularly proud of helping clients regain confidence and experience life with clear, radiant skin, often for the first time in years.

If there’s one message I want potential clients and followers to know, it’s that clear skin is achievable when we work with the body, not against it. My mission is to offer a nurturing, supportive space for healing, where each client is seen, heard, and treated as a whole person. At Skin Sanctuary, we’re committed to building confidence and long-term wellness from within.

Other than training/knowledge, what do you think is most helpful for succeeding in your field?

Beyond training, empathy and patience are crucial for success in skincare. Understanding each client’s unique journey and being patient with the healing process builds trust and leads to long-term results. This compassionate approach truly sets practitioners apart in creating meaningful transformations.

How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?

Building my reputation in the skincare market stemmed from a commitment to both results and relationships. Offering transformative treatments like DMK Skin Revision and combining them with holistic practices helped clients achieve real, lasting changes, which they then shared with others. Additionally, educating clients on the root causes of their skin issues and creating a compassionate, supportive environment fostered trust. Word-of-mouth referrals became my strongest asset, as clients valued the personalized care and holistic results they experienced at Skin Sanctuary.
