All Natural Homemade Bug Spray Growing up in Canada, I’ve spent many bug filled weekends at the cottage. Nothing ruins a good sunset like a herd of mosquitoes and blackflies taking chunks of your skin with them as trophies. Then comes the next day when you’re itching your skin raw. Oh, the humanity! Dangers of […]

The warming, woody and sweet aroma of the oil is just incredible. When used aromatically, Frankincense promotes feelings of peace and overall wellness. Topical or internal use of this “king of oils” provides modern health benefits.

I’m Katie
I’m a Registered Holistic Nutritionist specializing in helping women with chronic acne clear their skin from the inside out.
Hey!
After years of dealing cystic breakouts, I cleared up my skin for good by fixing my gut, liver and hormones. I went back to school for nutrition and then said seeya later to my job in television. I launched an online nutrition business (before working from home was a thing) so I could help as many women as possible feel confident AF in their own skin, too.

Let's finally get you back to clear, glowing skin.
Acne goes deeper than just the surface—it's a sign of internal imbalances. That’s why prescriptions, medicated creams, and high-end facials don’t deliver lasting results. True skin clarity comes from an inside-out approach, and we're here to support you every step of the way.

"I just wanted to let you know that this program works!!!
I have never struggled with acne but then I turned 21 and then I broke out all over my fave. I never wanted to go anywhere and didn't want to talk to anybody. I became very depressed and angry. There were times I wanted to quit the program because I felt like nothing was working! By the grace of God, He got me through and I am healed! I just wanted to encourage everyone to keep going!!! You got this! Don't give up! Good things are coming!"

"I actually enjoy the look of my face with less make-up."
I used to wear a lot of powder and concealer to cover the break out areas, as well as to hide my scars. Both my breakouts and scars are lessening in amount and redness!!
