Today we’d like to introduce you to Kenlee Livingston
Hi Kenlee, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I consider myself an educator and problem solver who is passionate about resolving issues that impact a person’s ability to experience confidence and joy. Everyone deserves to feel good in their skin, but too often I see people feeling anxious or confused when it comes to their skin and body.
Dealing with skin issues as a young adult is how I first fell into the skincare rabbit hole and became immersed in skin physiology and understanding its complicated relationship to the mind and body. Eventually, I transitioned into a career where I could use my experience and knowledge to help others. From the beginning, my primary focus has been on educating and helping people to better understand their skin as an organ. This was more challenging than expected as I learned that many clients were not ready to acknowledge the health and appearance of their skin was dependent on emotional health, lifestyle choices and bodily resources.
In 2014, I experienced a health crisis which led me on a journey to deeper insights about the connections between our internal and external story. After healing myself, I was inspired to develop a more effective, whole person approach that provided convenience, clear information, the highest quality products and treatments, and caring partnership and support. I wanted to facilitate a better relationship between clients and their body, health, mood, and appearance.
The best insight I uncovered during this time was accepting the fact that no one else can prioritize your wellness for you, and that changing your personal experience of joy and well-being is an individual choice.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I don’t think any business owner can claim a relatively smooth road!
Life is full of ups and downs, which was certainly true in my case. I think my most challenging time was getting diagnosed with a genetic connective tissue disorder and co-morbid circulation disorder. Simultaneously dealing with high pain, losing the use of both hands, the inability to drive, and progressive cognitive fatigue led to a domino effect of physical and emotional devastation that took a serious toll on my skin and body.
Admittedly I wallowed and floundered for a while, and then I attempted standard medical interventions which exacerbated my issues. After a certain point I realized there was no expert or magic that was going to save me, so I chose to refuse this as my future reality and proceeded to dedicate myself to finding solutions.
I spent several years intensely studying the various web of relationships and wisdom of the body, and eventually implemented alternative solutions that allowed me to improve my situation.
This knowledge has become one of my greatest blessings and I am thankful for the difficulties that elevated my ability to better serve and understand others.
Currently, my biggest challenge is finding ways to help people connect more with how their body works and why it is so important to prioritize self-care. Some clients are excited to dive into this information, while others are not quite ready for the burden of responsibility that comes with new understanding.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?

Who else deserves credit in your story?
There are 3 groups who deserve substantial credit: my team, my family, and my clients.
My Team:
I worked alone for many years but am now blessed to work with two additional professionals who are equally excited about what we do. It has been wonderful to share my hard-earned knowledge and experience with these dedicated women, and I love that clients they are in great hands no matter who they see.
My Family:
Anything I have accomplished was only possible because someone else was in the background helping with all the other parts of life, and most of the credit goes to my husband and 3 children (now adults). Like most self-employed individuals, my business was my 4th child and definitely took up space as part of the family unit.
My Clients:
I am always impressed by the openness and intelligence of our clientele, and am consistently inspired by their examples of strength, kindness and love. My business would not exist without client support, and I consider it the highest honor to be entrusted with the care of every beautiful face that walks through our door.
