HER STORY ⟡ Kate Marciniec
Today, we are meeting Kate Marciniec of Solid Wellness and Aesthetics!
Tell us about you and your background!
As the owner of Solid Wellness and Aesthetics, I am deeply passionate about helping men and women become the best versions of themselves—inside and out. I believe optimal health starts with balance, which is why I am a strong proponent of hormonal wellness, evidence-based medicine, and natural aesthetic results that enhance confidence without looking overdone. My commitment extends beyond my practice, as I believe in giving back to the community and making wellness accessible to those who need it most. Empowering others to feel and function at their best isn’t just my profession—it’s my purpose.
Tell us about your business and why you started it!
My inspiration to start Solid Wellness and Aesthetics came from my frustration with the traditional insurance-based healthcare model. I found myself stuck in a system that prioritized volume over quality, limiting the time I could spend with each patient. I knew that true healing and wellness required more—more time, more personalized care, and a deeper understanding of each individual’s unique needs. I wanted to create a space where men and women could receive the attention they deserve, focusing on hormonal balance, natural aesthetics, and overall well-being. My passion for helping people achieve their best selves, combined with my belief in evidence-based, patient-centered care, led me to break free and build a practice that puts people first.
What do you love about being a business owner?
What I love most about being a business owner is the freedom to care for my patients in the best way possible—without the constraints of a rushed, insurance-driven system. I get to truly listen, personalize treatments, and make a real impact on people’s lives. Beyond patient care, I also love seeing my staff grow and develop, both personally and professionally. Watching them gain confidence, expand their skills, and become passionate about our mission is incredibly rewarding. Building a business isn’t just about success—it’s about creating a supportive environment where both patients and team members can thrive.
What advice would you give yourself from 5 years ago OR your past self just starting your business?
The advice I would give to myself five years ago is to never stop learning—get as much education as possible and always question why. Curiosity and a commitment to understanding the root causes of health issues will make you a better clinician and a stronger advocate for your patients. Trust that everything happens for a reason, even the challenges and setbacks, because they are shaping you into the provider and leader you are meant to be. And above all, always put patients first—when you prioritize their well-being with integrity and compassion, success will always follow.
What does beauty mean to you?
To me, beauty isn’t just about appearances—it’s about radiating happiness, confidence, and overall well-being. True beauty comes from feeling good in your own skin, having the energy to live life fully, and embracing the unique qualities that make you you. When someone is healthy, balanced, and fulfilled, that inner vitality shines through. That’s why I believe in a natural approach to aesthetics—enhancing, not altering—so that each person can look as vibrant on the outside as they feel on the inside. Beauty isn’t about perfection; it’s about authenticity, joy, and the confidence that comes from taking care of yourself in every way.
Who or what inspires you?
I am inspired by my patients who take control of their health and transform their lives. Seeing them regain their energy, balance their hormones, and feel confident in their own skin fuels my passion every day. When patients prioritize their well-being, it doesn’t just improve their physical health—it makes them happier, more resilient, and better equipped to handle life’s challenges. Their dedication to becoming the best version of themselves reminds me why I do what I do and motivates me to keep learning, growing, and advocating for better, more personalized care.
What would you like our Beauty Boost members to know?
I am so excited to be a part of the Beauty Boost community because I know so many women are struggling with stress, exhaustion, mood swings, hormonal changes, and stubborn weight gain—often feeling unheard and frustrated. Women deserve to know that they don’t have to accept these symptoms as their new normal. I am passionate about educating and empowering women to take control of their health, and I want them to know that providers like me do care, will listen, and can help.
