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 Vision

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

Meet The Team

Steph Gardner

Co-Owner

Steph is a Registered Nurse who completed her Bachelor of Nursing in 2002. Her early clinical career was spent in acute hospital settings including Emergency, Medical and Surgical Assessment, Coronary Care and the Cardiac Catheterisation Lab — experiences that shaped her strong clinical foundation and patient-centred philosophy.

 

In 2017, Steph transitioned into aesthetic nursing with a vision to create a more welcoming, inclusive and ethically grounded environment within the industry. What began as a single treatment room has evolved into a multi award-winning clinic built on education, integrity and long-term results. Today, Steph continues to treat, lead and innovate, with particular interests in menopause-focused aesthetic care and longevity medicine. Her approach remains rooted in helping clients feel confident, supported and genuinely cared for at every stage of their journey.
