OUR STORY
Skinny Spa was created for people who are tired of starting over.
Tired of quick fixes that don’t last.
Tired of feeling like they’re doing everything “right” but still not seeing results.
Tired of being handed a plan that doesn’t actually fit their life.
We built Skinny Spa differently—because weight loss isn’t just physical. It’s emotional. It’s mental. It’s personal.
Every person who walks through our doors has a story. Maybe you’ve struggled for years. Maybe your body changed after kids. Maybe you’ve lost weight before and gained it back. Maybe you just don’t feel like yourself anymore.
We understand that. And we take it seriously.
At Skinny Spa, this isn’t about chasing a number on the scale. It’s about helping you feel in control again—of your body, your confidence, and your health. We combine medically guided treatments with real support, so you’re not navigating this alone.
No judgment. No pressure. No one-size-fits-all approach.
Just a team that listens, understands, and helps you move forward—step by step.
Because when you finally feel like yourself again, everything changes.
HOW WE WORK
At The Skinny Spa, we’ve created a process that’s simple, supportive, and designed to fit into real life.
It begins with booking your appointment—online or by phone—followed by a quick check-in from our nurse manager to ask a few questions and confirm your visit with our physician.
On the day of your consultation, you’ll come into the office to meet with our doctor. If everything aligns, you can receive your first injection before you leave—getting started right away with guidance you can trust.
From there, care continues with weekly support from our nursing team to help you stay consistent and confident. For those who prefer more flexibility, we also offer the option to take home a monthly supply for self-injection.
What matters most to us is that this feels approachable and sustainable. There are no required commitments or subscriptions, and no pressure to pay upfront. We believe in the program and the experience we provide—but you’re always free to move at your own pace.
Every patient who comes to us has a story. My job isn’t just to prescribe—it’s to listen, understand, and guide them toward real, lasting change.

Medication & Supplement Timing While on GLP-1 Therapy
GLP-1 medications (such as semaglutide and tirzepatide) slow down how quickly your stomach empties. This is part of how they help with appetite and blood sugar control — but it also means other pills and supplements you take by mouth may be absorbed more slowly and take longer to start working.
What This Means For You
Oral medications and supplements may take longer to reach their full effect, especially in the first few weeks after starting or increasing your dose.
This effect is usually strongest during dose escalation and tends to lessen somewhat once your body adjusts.
Extended-release or coated tablets are more likely to be affected than regular immediate-release pills.
For most medications, the total amount absorbed stays about the same — it's the timing/onset that shifts, not necessarily the effectiveness.
Situations That Deserve Extra Attention
Birth control pills — a backup contraceptive method is generally recommended during dose increases; please discuss timing with your prescribing provider.
Thyroid medication, blood thinners, or seizure medications — these have a narrow margin between effective and ineffective dosing and should be monitored closely by your prescriber.
Any medication where you rely on a precise onset time (e.g., pain relief before a procedure).
What We Recommend
Tell every prescriber and pharmacist that you are taking a GLP-1 medication, including for medications unrelated to weight management.
Don't adjust your own dosing or timing based on this information — always check with the prescribing provider first.
Report any new or unexpected symptoms, or if a medication doesn't seem to be working as expected.
Take supplements consistently (same time, same way) so any shift in effect is easier to notice and discuss with our team.
Questions?
