Stacey Francois

Owner + Founder

I founded Body Tonic Rx with a vision to create more than just a med spa — I wanted to build a destination where the best experts in aesthetics, wellness, hormone optimization, and longevity medicine come together under one roof. For over 15 years, we've combined cutting-edge technology, advanced treatments, and personalized care to help our patients look better, feel better, and live better. I'm passionate about staying ahead of the curve and surrounding myself with top-tier providers who are truly exceptional at what they do, because our patients deserve the absolute best in beauty, health, and performance optimization.

Angela Guffey

Spa Director

I joined Body Tonic in March 2020 and I feel so blessed to be a part of such an amazing team. Having been in the aesthetic industry for many years, I appreciate working with some of the most talented women around. With my long background in customer service, I have always had a strong passion for making clients feel comfortable and well taken care of. When I am not at work I love spending time with my two children, hiking, paddle boarding, and enjoying all the beautiful things Austin has to offer.

Iris Taylor

Advanced Aesthetic Injector

I'm enthralled by the transformative power of aesthetic medicine and its ability to celebrate natural beauty. My passion lies in the delicate art of enhancing an individual's inherent features, not altering them. With a professional tenure exceeding two decades in the field of aesthetics, including over 16 years of meticulous experience specifically in injections, I have amassed a substantial portfolio of over 30 certificates in aesthetic medicine. My commitment to continual professional development is evident, as I rigorously engage in daily research and educational pursuits to refine my expertise.

Gina Jones

Advanced Cosmetic Nurse Injector

I joined Body Tonic in October of 2014, and bring to the practice over 15 years of nursing experience. Before joining Body Tonic, I worked with a plastic surgery group in Austin for over ten years. My experience and knowledge encompasses the whole realm of cosmetic surgery, as well as all aspects of medical aesthetics including Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin injections, all dermal filler enhancements (liquid facelift, lips, cheeks, jawline, tear troughs), Sculptra and Kybella. I love continuing to evolve in my industry, and constantly add to my knowledge by keeping up with the newest uses for neuromodulators, dermal fillers, and the latest advanced injection techniques.

Michelle Sterniczuk

Candice Hessel, FNP-C

Board-Certified Nurse Practitioner | Functional & Integrative Medicine

Peptide & Functional Medicine Specialist (MSN, APRN, FNP-C). Candice partners with patients on personalized peptide protocols, hormone optimization, and integrative care — bridging conventional medicine with a functional, whole-body lens.

Kit Kivell

Professional Laser Technician | Medical Aesthetician + Skin Specialist

After 15 years in the hospitality industry, I returned to school to pursue my lifelong passion for skin care. I trained at the National Laser Institute under some of the field's leading medical aestheticians — learning advanced laser treatments, laser hair removal, tattoo removal, fractional laser, IPL and more. Continuing education is important to me; I have completed additional certifications in dermaplaning, body contouring with Vanquish, and BBL and Halo laser/light training with the Sciton Joule.

Chloe Francois

Injector / Pharmacy Liaison

I'm Chloe Francois, a pre-med student and practitioner at Body Tonic Med Spa with a deep passion for aesthetics, wellness, and client care. I love helping clients achieve natural, balanced beauty through personalized treatment plans, using the latest techniques in fillers, Botox, and skin rejuvenation. Building trust with my clients is important to me — I believe in understanding their unique goals to deliver transformative, confidence-boosting results.

Linzey Jones

I am a dedicated Registered Nurse with three years of experience, having graduated from Texas Tech University with two degrees. Born and raised in the beautiful hill country, I cherish my roots. While nursing has always been my passion, I dream of making a mark in wellness and aesthetic medicine. I started working at Body Tonic in September of 2024, and I'm excited to learn new skills daily and continue to grow not only as a nurse, but as a person as well.

Ellie is often the first friendly voice you hear at Body Tonic. She coordinates appointments, follow-ups, and the small details that make every visit feel effortless.

Julie Walther

When I'm not at work I enjoy spending time being active with my husband and 3 children.
