Katherine Hermes, the owner and founder of SRQ Med Spa in downtown Sarasota, Florida, where she has built a growing wellness and anti-aging practice focused on helping people look better, feel better, and become the best version of themselves.
An entrepreneur at heart, Katherine entered the med spa industry with a strong belief that aging well is about much more than aesthetics. SRQ Med Spa brings together innovative treatments for energy, weight management, skin rejuvenation, body sculpting, pain relief, and overall wellness—without relying on Botox or fillers.
Now approaching 60 herself, Katherine has become especially passionate about changing the conversation around aging. Her philosophy is simple: getting older doesn’t mean becoming less—it means becoming more selective about where you put your time, energy, health, and money.
As an owner-operator, Katherine brings a candid perspective to the realities of building a med spa: choosing technology, creating treatments people actually want, managing costs, marketing locally, navigating regulation, and figuring out what really drives profitability.
