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.
