Sol Spa is a boutique skin and wellness clinic at The Tannery, Shop 25, 3 Garlands Road in Woolston, Christchurch. Its distinctive feature is that it joins clinical skin treatments with spa rituals, so a client does not have to choose between results and relaxation. The founder, Natalie Gibson, has more than 25 years in skin health. Her career began in Christchurch and took her to luxury cruise liners as a facialist and wellness therapist, and she is trained in natural medicine and advanced facial sculpting.
The clinic offers facials, dermal needling, Face Up sculpting, peels, LED treatments and massage. The website says the services use advanced technology and cosmedical-grade products, and are designed for women dealing with stress, ageing and modern life. Its therapists are trained to match each treatment to the individual's skin.
Clients who have written about the clinic say specialised facials left their skin in good condition for a wedding, and that monthly facials and recommended products helped with hormonal acne. The website also says Natalie is stepping back from daily treatments as she prepares for motherhood, and is now mentoring the team. Vouchers can be bought online, and bookings are made through the website.
