On Thursday, October 24th, Koru Medical Spa celebrated their grand opening in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. Koru Medical Spa was created by Dermatology Certified Nurse Practioner Shellie Norman, formerly known as Island DermNurse. Dr. Shellie’s dream of opening Kailua-Kona’s first medical spa started years ago, with several years of practicing dermatology and medical aesthetic treatments under her wing.

My goal is to empower people to feel as beautiful on the outside as they are on the inside. Everyone deserves to feel valued and gorgeous in their own skin!
— Shellie Norman DNP

After opening Island Dermatology LLC, Shellie decided it was time to make this dream of Kona’s first medical spa a reality. Koru Medical Spa’s doors are now open for anyone to come in for a relaxing spa experience in a professional medical clinic.
