Christine Jacobson, PA-C

Christine grew up in Colorado and graduated from Colorado State University with a bachelor’s degree in anthropology in 2017. She then obtained her Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies as part of the first graduating class of A.T. Still University- Central Coast’s Physician Assistant program in 2023. While in school, she discovered her passion for women’s health. She has always been drawn to the creative side of aesthetics has to offer, so when she found she could practice both areas of medicine with Dr. Stanislaus, she knew it would be a great fit!

<em>“Being able to provide care in both specialties allows me to offer my patients a wide variety of treatments that often cross over between women’s health and aesthetics. I love helping patients feel and look their very best. It is very fulfilling to be able to provide patients of all ages and walks of life with a newfound sense of confidence and youthfulness!”</em>

The Stanislaus Integrative Wellness Center is a dream come true for Dr. Mareeni Stanislaus. Her vision was to open a state-of-the-art women’s health facility in San Luis Obispo County that would reflect her vision of cutting-edge technology delivered in an atmosphere of safety, privacy, and comfort.

Her practice focuses on the whole woman and getting to the root cause of her issues rather than masking her symptoms. Hear Dr. Stanislaus talk about her holistic approach.
