Meet Sandra!
Sandra Hicks is the CEO, licensed Esthetician & wellness practitioner at Solitude Beauty & Wellness.
Sandra began her interest in wholistic wellness in 2002 at the age of 30, as a means to care for herself; a young wife and mother of two toddlers. Her desire to learn more took her to Seattle Washington to attend an aromatherapy conference, where the gateway to wholistic living was opened for her. It was at this conference she would meet the owner of The Heal Center in Atlanta Ga. There was an instant connection and shortly after, Sandra enrolled in the aromatherapy and reflexology certification programs. Upon completing the programs in 2003 Sandra began to work on her family and in her local community as a aromatherapist and reflexologist. She often states this is her first love in the field of wellness.
Sandra would later continue to care for her young family and homeschool her children while also building her business part-time. Often showcasing custom blended aromatherapy products and handcrafted bath & body products at local flea markets and hosting home spa parties across metro Atlanta and surrounding areas. Eventually her passions led her to additional certifications and ultimately her enrollment in The International School of Skin, Nails and Massage in Roswell Ga.
Sandra graduated at the top of her class and received her state license in 2011. Since then, her thirst for knowledge and passion for wholistic wellness has led her to continue her education every year with new certifications and trainings. Sandra holds multiple certifications in Reflexology, has been trained and certified in the Dr. Vodder Manual Lymphatic Drainage technique, is certified and trained in Connective Tissue Manipulation and Spa Wellness Coaching with the ASTECC institute. She has trainings and certifications in Brazilian Waxing, brow shaping, GuaSha facial sculpting, Dermaplane, advanced facial massage, peels and more. Sandra has been a asset to her industry, teaching other estheticians post grad advanced trainings for waxing and facial techniques.
Sandra prides herself on being a low tech high touch esthetician. She refers to herself as a wellness practitioner who happened to fall in love with skin care. Her approach to skincare is just as much about inner beauty and acceptance as it is about the outer. She believes self care is self love. At Solitude Beauty & Wellness, the focus is on building community and relationships with every guest. With 20 years in the wholistic wellness & beauty industry, Sandra is the wellness advocate and supporter in your goals for being your best self and living your best life.
