So Sol

Aesthetics With Integrity.

At So Sol, we offer advanced skin and body solutions designed to support your skin’s health, vitality, and long-term wellbeing.

Located in Warana on the Sunshine Coast, we’re a trusted destination for personalised, evidence-based treatments that honour every stage of life. Our approach is calm, considered, and rooted in real care — blending science, soul, and a deep respect for the individual.

Founded by Registered Nurse and skin specialist Steph, So Sol was born from a vision to create something different. With a background in acute care and further training in aesthetics, Steph, alongside her partner Chris, set out to build a space where clinical results meet integrity — where every treatment is tailored, honest, and never rushed.

Our philosophy is simple: to treat real skin, real bodies, and real people — without judgement or pressure. We combine clinical expertise with holistic thinking, always with your long-term wellbeing in mind.

Our Mission

To deliver advanced skin and body treatments that support every individual — combining clinical expertise, evidence-based modalities, and holistic approaches to promote skin health, vitality, and long-term wellbeing.

We create space for real care — rooted in respect, results, and the belief that everyone deserves to feel at home in their skin.

Our Vision

To set a new standard in skin and body care — where clinical results, personalised treatment planning, and genuine care come together.

We support all ages and skin types with tailored, evidence-based solutions that evolve with the individual. Our goal is to be a trusted destination for long-term skin health and whole-body wellbeing.

Meet The Team

Steph Gardner

Co-Owner

Steph is a Registered Nurse who completed her Bachelor of Nursing in 2002. She spent the majority of her clinical career in acute hospital settings, including Emergency, Medical and Surgical Assessment, Coronary Care, and the Cardiac Catheterisation Lab. In 2017, she transitioned into aesthetic nursing, motivated by a desire to create a more welcoming, inclusive environment than what she had personally experienced in the industry.


What began as a small, part-time venture quickly grew. As demand increased, Steph expanded from a single treatment room into a multi award-winning clinic with a growing team — including her husband, who now works alongside her. Together, they’ve built a reputation for ethical, results-driven care that makes people feel truly seen, heard, and supported.


Steph’s clinical interests now include menopause-focused aesthetic care and longevity medicine. She continues to treat, lead, and educate with the same passion that launched her business: helping people feel confident, cared for, and empowered at every stage of life.

Chris Gardner

Co-Owner & Clinical Trainer

With over 23 years of experience as a Registered Nurse and a background in ICU, Chris brings a calm, clinical precision to everything he does. Since stepping into aesthetics six years ago, he’s become known for his obsession with skin science, his love of laser technology, and his talent for full-face transformations that restore balance while maintaining a natural, undetectable finish.


Chris is a national clinical trainer for both Cutera and Juvae, and also sits on Juvae’s Clinical Governance Panel, contributing to industry standards and education across Australia. At So Sol Skin & Body, he’s known not only for his results-driven approach, but also for making every client feel at ease—even when he gets a little “sciencey.”
