We had the good fortune of connecting with Kristine Romine MD and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Kristine, maybe we can start at the very start – the idea – how did you come up with the idea for your business?
As a board-certified dermatologist with a passion for holistic health and wellness, I have always believed in the power of a balanced approach to achieving and maintaining optimal health. I have seen firsthand the transformative effects of both personalized aesthetic treatments and optimized holistic lifestyle practices on individuals’ overall well-being, and I am passionate about sharing this knowledge with others.
That’s why I created Bellesante (Beautiful Health), the marriage of all things aesthetics, skin care, fitness, and nutrition which leads to an Optimized HealthSpan (the number of years lived in a healthy state, free of disease). At Bellesante, we offer a unique approach to health and wellness, combining cutting-edge aesthetic treatments with highly curated HealthSpan optimization practices.
Our BioSculpt by BelleSante PlayBook is designed to guide and inspire individuals to thrive at their highest achievable level. We work with highly motivated, goal-oriented individuals to create personalized plans that address their unique needs and goals, from achieving and maintaining aesthetic balance, to fitness and nutrition and mindset shifting in order to to achieve a Healthy, Long, and fulfilling life.
But Bellesante is more than just a beauty and wellness destination. We are a community of like-minded individuals who believe in the power of a holistic approach to health and wellness. We inspire and empower our patients to reach their full potential in every aspect of their life, providing them with the knowledge, tools, and support they need to live their best lives.
As a board-certified dermatologist with 4 years of training in internal medicine, I have a deep understanding of the complex interplay between our physical and mental health. I have seen firsthand the transformative effects of both aesthetic treatments, holistic lifestyle practices including fitness, nutrition, and mindset optimization and I am dedicated to sharing this knowledge with others.
As a lifelong learner, I am always seeking out new ways to lead from the very forefront of the beauty and wellness industry. That’s why I am excited to offer cutting-edge longevity and regenerative medicine practices at Bellesante. Our one of a kind education program paired with innovative treatments can help transform your health and your life, giving you the energy, vitality, beauty and confidence you need to thrive.
At Bellesante, we believe that true beauty comes from within, and we are committed to helping our clients achieve both inner and outer health and wellness. Whether you’re looking to improve your skin, boost your energy levels, or transform your life, our Bellesante Team is committed to guide you in reaching your goal of BelleSante (Beautiful Health), and Inspire you to live your best years yet.
Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Our BelleSante / BioSculpt Team is made up of the most highly skilled, nationally and internationally renowned professionals with decades of experience in Cutting- Edge Cosmetic Dermatology, Functional & Regenerative Medicine, fitness and personal training.
We are disrupting the status quo by offering “One Stop for Guiding and Inspiring Highly – Motivated, Goal – Oriented individuals to achieve all of their goals and aspirations. We are poised and ready to help Optimize HealthSpan with the practice of Holistic Longevity (fitness/ wellness/ nutrition/ mindset shifting/ aesthetic balance) to transform lives”.
I am grateful to have the privilege to serve my patients by offering innovative cutting-edge advanced aesthetics, the latest in regenerative medicine and functional medicine programs and offerings in this rapidly evolving world. Hard work, focus, persistence, and mindfulness is what has allowed me to reach this place in my career. Setbacks and challenges are always part of every business. I truly feel it is through conquering these challenges with grace that results in the biggest and most effective growth both business wise and personally. I have learned amazing lessons on my journey about how to create an exceptional experience not only for our patients and guests, but also for our Team. Mentoring and guiding is my mission and our Team is made up primarily of young people who wish to enter the medical field as physicians, nurse practitioners, PAs, and nurses. We have lead a mentorship/ medical scribe program for 13 years and have a long list of alumni graduates of our program. We are now mentoring our patients on how to Optimize their HealthSpan.
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If my best friend was visiting the area, I would take them to the Phoenix Botanical Garden, have lunch at the Chop Shop and spend the afternoon strolling the shops in old town Scottsdale.
We would also take an early morning hike up Camelback mountain to see the most beautiful view in the city followed by a light breakfast at Le Grande Orange.
Next we could spend the rest of the day at the Phoenix Art Museum and have dinner at Durant’s.
One of my favorite late afternoon and evening adventures is to have a progressive dinner escorted by Waymo between venues. First we start with a drink while watching the sunset from the deck at the Phoenician, followed by appetizers at the bar at T Cooks at the Royal Palms, listening to live music. Next it is dinner by the outdoor fire at Lon’s at the Hermosa with the best view of Camelback Mountain, and ending the evening with a light shared dessert at the classic Biltmore.
We would need to workout or attend a yoga class the next day at my favorite Camelback Village to work off all the calories. Love the Heard Museum followed by a stroll around Arcadia to admire all the gorgeous homes followed by an early dinner at Chelsea’s Kitchen.
Of course a road trip to Sedona and the Grand Canyon are always in order for best of friends.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I have been inspired Throughout my education and career by several physicians that encouraged me in my quest to always seek more knowledge to share with my patients. I have also been encouraged and supported by my husband and 4 incredible children, many of whom are integral team members in my practice.
