You are probably on this page because you want to learn more about me. But before I hit you with the medical credentials and the best-seller lists, it's important to me that you know that the "radiance" you see now was once buried under layers of burnout. Change doesn’t always come easily, but your biology is designed for it.

I'm not going to lie, changing my life wasn't a matter of finding a magic serum. It was a renovation from the inside out.

Years ago, I was a successful dermatologist who had mastered the surface but was failing the source. I was numbing my own stress with wine, scrolling to dissociate, and waking up with a racing heart. My skin was telling the truth my résumé was hiding: I was exhausted, gray, and running on adrenaline.

Then everything changed when I stopped acting like a surface mechanic and started acting like a detective. I realized you cannot Botox your way out of burnout. I put down the needle and picked up the science of the nervous system, the gut-brain axis, and the physiology of peace.

Now, as the author of the worldwide best-seller Under Her Skin, I’ve helped millions of women realize that their skin is a dashboard for their internal health, not a collection of flaws to be fixed. My work bridges the gap between dermatology and psychology to help you reclaim your agency and your glow.

Over the years, I have learned that beauty is a discipline, not just a gift. You don't need a perfect reflection to start; you just need to decide to stop being a harsh critic and start asking your body what it actually needs.

I hope you use the protocols and tools I’ve shared to stop fighting the mirror and start healing the machinery underneath. Your body is always waiting for you to come home.
