THERESA HEBERT
PA and owner, Renew Medical Spa

“Doing things differently can be uncomfortable, but it’s often where the most meaningful impact happens.”

When PA Theresa Hebert transitioned to practicing alternative medicine, she faced pushback.

“One of the greatest challenges I’ve faced has been practicing a more integrated, root-cause approach to medicine in a smaller community where that mindset hasn’t always been widely accepted,” she said. “Early on, this approach wasn’t always embraced and at times led to criticism. But I stayed committed to what I knew was right for my patients—taking the time to educate, to look deeper, and to treat the whole person rather than just isolated symptoms.”

Theresa owns Renew Integrated Medical Spa, which offers “the latest aesthetics, functional medicine, hormone optimization, wellness, and weight-loss techniques under one roof.”

“Combining functional medicine with aesthetics has allowed me to care for patients in a much more complete way,” she said. “Functional medicine helps us understand what’s happening internally—hormones, inflammation, gut health, lifestyle—while aesthetics allows us to support how patients feel externally.”

Theresa’s professional approach “looks at each patient as unique—understanding that no two people have the same story, the same triggers, or the same path to healing,” she said. “Whether it’s a patient struggling with rosacea, acne, or hair loss, or someone dealing with chronic fatigue, autoimmune issues, or years of unexplained symptoms, there is often a deeper internal connection, frequently tied to inflammation, lifestyle, and underlying imbalances.”

On the aesthetics side, Theresa said that her philosophy is “to enhance, not change.”

“The goal is never to dramatically alter how someone looks, but rather to help them age well—restoring balance, improving structure, and turning back the clock just a few years in a natural way,” she said. “When done correctly, it simply helps people feel more confident and like the best version of themselves.”

No matter a patient’s needs, Theresa is driven to provide individualized care. “As we move further into an age of AI and rapid innovation, I feel strongly that medicine must remain human-first,” she said. “Patients deserve time, attention, and education. That belief is at the core of what I do.”

Theresa grew up between Montana and Alaska, an upbringing that she said imbued her with a passion for “the outdoors [and] wide open spaces, and a strong sense of independence.” In her free time, she enjoys being in nature, whether hiking near home or traveling far and wide—perhaps to visit one of her grown children. She and her husband, Daniel, have a “beautifully full and blended family with seven children, and they are truly one of the greatest joys of my life,” she said. Ranging in age from 16 to 25, “they are all in such different seasons of life,” Theresa continued. “Watching each of them grow into who they’re meant to be is something I’m incredibly grateful for.”

Though not native to the area, Theresa has called Texarkana home for almost 30 years. “My roots here run deep, through my practice, my family, my friendships, and the life I’ve built,” she said.

A large part of Theresa’s life is church. She is an active member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church—and the church’s ACTS (Adoration, Community, Theology, and Service) community especially. “My faith is a big part of how I stay connected to the community,” she said. “My faith journey—especially through ACTS—has been one of the most transformative influences in my life. That community has had a profound impact on my life and continues to shape who I am.”

Since beginning her practice in 2011, Theresa has gained confidence in taking paths less traveled, both personally and professionally. “I’ve learned that doing things differently can be uncomfortable, but it’s often where the most meaningful impact happens,” she said. “I’ve learned to trust the process, stay grounded in my values, and take the next step—even when I don’t have the full picture. That mindset has shaped both my life and my leadership.”

FSLM ASKED THERESA:

What are you currently reading?
Atomic Habits by James Clear.

What is your favorite community hangout?
Ironwood Grill. It’s where I’ll meet a friend or two to catch up and enjoy a little “girl time.” Both of my daughters work there, so I can usually count on getting my favorite spot on the patio!

Name a girl or woman you admire.
[Spanx founder] Sara Blakely. I admire her willingness to take risks, think differently, and build something meaningful from the ground up. She stayed true to her vision even when it wasn’t the conventional path, and that’s something I relate to in my own journey.

How Stephanie McCorkle Sees Theresa:

“I am honored to nominate Theresa Hebert, a woman who has quietly and consistently impacted the lives of those around her for nearly three decades. I have known Theresa for almost 30 years, and she remains one of my closest and most trusted friends. Theresa is an exceptional businesswoman—intelligent, driven, and visionary—but what sets her apart is her heart. She gives freely of herself without seeking recognition. She shows up for people in meaningful ways, often behind the scenes, offering support, encouragement, and wisdom when it is needed most. She has walked alongside me through many seasons of life, always offering steady support, honest guidance, and unwavering care. Theresa loves deeply and faithfully—through the good and the hard—and that kind of friendship is rare. What makes Theresa truly remarkable is that she does not fully see the magnitude of her impact. She gives, loves, and leads with humility, never asking for acknowledgment. Her influence is lasting and profound. I nominated Theresa because women like her deserve to be seen. She represents strength, generosity, and quiet leadership, and she has made my life—and the lives of many others—better simply by being who she is.”
