Hydro Health & Wellness Med Spa Dawsonville

About Us

Hydro Health & Wellness was founded by Wendy Skinner, an award-winning nurse with a passion for compassionate care and holistic wellness. Wendy's journey into healthcare began with a deep-rooted desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. From her early days volunteering at community events to becoming a Fire Fighter/EMT and then a nurse in a Level II Trauma ED, Wendy has always been driven by a commitment to help those in need.

After completing her education with distinction, Wendy gained diverse experiences across various healthcare settings, including perioperative care and vascular access as a board-certified member of the IV/PICC Team. Her dedication to patient care earned her the prestigious DAISY Award, highlighting her exceptional skills and compassion.

Inspired by her extensive background and the profound impact she made on her patients, Wendy envisioned a place where people could experience top-tier wellness services in a serene and inviting environment. This vision led to the creation of Hydro Health & Wellness, North Georgia's premier boutique med spa.

At Hydro Health & Wellness, we specialize in IV hydration therapy, vitamin infusions, and wellness shots, designed to nourish the mind, body, and soul. We offer personalized care tailored to your needs. Our services include IV therapy, wellness shots, high-dose vitamin C, weight loss solutions, and NAD+ therapy, all aimed at enhancing overall health and well-being. Wendy's expertise in IV therapy and her holistic approach to wellness ensure that every treatment is tailored to meet the unique needs of our clients.

To further extend our reach, we introduced the Hydro Health Mobile Spa, a luxurious mobile unit that brings the spa experience directly to you. Whether you're at home, at work, or hosting a special event, our state-of-the-art Mercedes van provides top-tier IV hydration treatments and wellness services wherever you are.
