Business Description
Greetings! I am Dr. Monica Riley, MD, but please call me Dr. Monica. I’m a Doctor of Integrative Medicine with over 30 years of expertise in the Holistic Health Sciences: Certified Clinical Aromatherapist, Master Herbalist, Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner. I am the award-winning CEO/ Founder of Dr. Monica’s Natural Beauty, LLC & Mindfully Melanated ™ Skin Essentials; inspiring women/women of color 40+ to prioritize daily Self-Care.
When I think back to how I started my business, I have to go way back before 2016. The idea for clean beauty self-care, with special care to women of color, really began in my Nana’s kitchen. I was only 4 years old, but I remember being mesmerized by the plants and flowers that she would boil in this huge soup pot every Saturday. I mean the incredible aromas that wafted from that pot, lavender, lemon, orange, vanilla, lily-of-the-valley, peony and cinnamon, carried me into my own little world of happiness. I was happy, I was safe and I was loved. And, to my 4 year old self, I was living my best life….munching Nana’s homemade biscuits with strawberry jam and peach preserves and watching her create elixirs that healed the body, mind and spirit.
My self-care essentials and mood boosting fragrances stimulate optimal wellness and mood. Fragrance controls over 70% of our emotions, evokes memories, and inspires self-confidence. Of the senses, smell alone has a direct line to our limbic system, the part of our mind that deals with emotions, cognitive maturity, and memory. As women, we can decide who we want to be, how we want to be, and BE, unapologetically, awesome every day! But it has to be a choice. And, we have to feel worthy of that choice.
Dr. Monica’s Natural Beauty is an impressive blend of holistic health science & my Nana’s 101-year legacy of natural remedies. Our self-care essentials deliver nutrients & healing essences to your body, mind, and spirit during your daily self-care. Handcrafted in small batches, my award-winning collection is 100% all-natural; no fillers, phthalates, or toxins.
