About

Jessie Sandlin, MD

Cosmetic Physician

My path in medicine has been a convoluted one. From U.S. Naval flight surgery in the Persian Gulf, to medical training at Harvard, to anesthesia in Miami, one thing has remained constant: my ardor for aesthetics and beauty. My course in medicine has always been procedurally based, so aesthetics follows naturally. I began as a medispa patient in my mid-20s and always wanted to open my own spa. Mentors advised me that my talents “would be wasted” in a med spa, but I came to realize that my talents would only be amplified by my passion—a passion for aesthetics. As such, Gilded Palm came to be.

Susan

Aesthetic Nurse Provider

I have called Texas home for most of my life. Having over two decades of nursing experience, I am immensely grateful for the medical knowledge and skills I have acquired through the years. I have always had the desire to make a positive impact on others' lives, but have also been passionate about beauty, makeup, and fashion. I am thrilled that the beauty industry has merged with the nursing world! I love being part of the Gilded Palm team where I can combine my dedication to nursing with my ardor for beauty.

Melissa Curd

Practice Manager

Having lived all over Texas with my husband and daughter, we have called Boerne home since 2014. I have always loved cosmetics and skincare and believe anything is possible with coffee, mascara and some lip gloss! My passion for providing exceptional customer service and helping people feel beautiful led me to Gilded Palm. The best part of my job is the relationships we build with our clients and local community. I live by the theory that if you treat everyone like family, they will keep coming back!

Jennifer

Esthetician

I planted my roots in Fredericksburg in 1997 to raise my daughter. I soon discovered my love for skincare and, in 2007, became a Licensed Esthetician. Coming from a background where skincare was not the top priority, I found my true passion is teaching and guiding others how to care for their skin. It was an absolute joy to own Prickly Pear Spa from 2018-2023 where I was blessed with the support of my clients who voted me Best Esthetician and Best Spa multiple years in a row. Now, I am able to completely focus on serving my clients and guiding them on their skincare journey at Gilded Palm.

Cristina

I have over 15 years of nursing experience ranging from emergency services to the operating room. While I've always had a passion for the medical field, I have an equally artistic side that enjoys designing and creating. Naturally, I fell in love with the art of aesthetics that combines both medicine and beauty. I strive to use my diverse nursing experience and knowledge to empower others to live more confidently by helping them achieve their aesthetic goals

Carloyn

Esthetician

From a young age I’ve had an appreciation for beauty, skincare, and pampering. The realization that my passion can also be my profession sparked an unceasing devoutness within me. Now, as an esthetician, I’m committed to helping others discover the confidence and radiance that comes from self-care.
