Mikayla Wells, MHS, PA-C — Owner of SWA+

Every great brand starts somewhere. Mine started in Chattanooga, Oklahoma — a small town where I went PreK through 12th grade, and where Southwest Oklahoma became home long before I ever thought about a career in medicine.

I earned my undergraduate degree from Oklahoma State University, then went on to PA school at OU in Oklahoma City. I've been a PA for six years now. I started doing aesthetics just three months after graduation, building it alongside acute care work from the very beginning. Since then, my career has spanned urgent care and pain management, but aesthetics has been the constant thread through it all — the one thing I kept coming back to, no matter what else I was doing in medicine.

When I moved to Oklahoma City and spent time in spas there and in bigger cities, I fell in love with what elevated aesthetic care could look like — true luxury, real artistry, a comprehensive approach done safely and done well. I kept asking myself: why can't this exist back home?

The longer I was away, the more I knew where I belonged. So I came home — to build something here, and to invest in the people I'd missed.

This practice didn't start as Southwest Aesthetics+. It started as a side hustle, honestly. But somewhere along the way, that side hustle became a genuine passion, and I realized I had found my gift. As the work grew, the brand needed to grow with it. Rebranding to SWA+ wasn't just a new name. It was the moment this business finally felt genuinely, completely me.

From the beginning, the vision was never about competing on price or cutting corners. SWA+ is an elevated, safe space for people who want to invest in themselves — where every detail is intentional and every treatment is backed by clinical expertise. You'll always get honesty here. I'll tell you what you actually need, what can wait, and what I wouldn't recommend at all — because I'm here for the long-term relationship, not a quick sale. Clients who trust us with their face, their goals, and their journey for years to come.

That vision is bigger than one person now. Every woman on this team reached out first — they saw what we were building and wanted to be part of it. Together, we're constantly training, constantly growing, and constantly working to raise the bar for ourselves.

What started as an idea became a team, a standard, and a home — for us, and for every client who walks through our doors.
