We had the good fortune of connecting with Elizabeth Mackenzie and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Elizabeth, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I decided to start my own skin studio after my own struggle with cystic acne. I like most people initially turned to a doctor for help. I was desperate as it was taking a toll so I trusted whatever treatments they offered. It left my skin and my emotional health in an even worse place. I decided to learn how to help myself by going to aesthetic school. I also began to work on my spiritual and physical health around the same time. I finally learned how to truly heal my skin by nourishing it, getting to the root causes, and giving myself and my skin the love it needs. I have made it my mission to help others on their skin journey by using a safe and holistic practice. Saving others from the painful road I went down. I offer a combination of natural and modern treatments as well as energy and sound meditation. I take not only a topical approach, but internal and energetic as well. Lifestyle, emotional trauma, and imbalance all play a role in our skin health. My goal is to help you get all aspects back in alignment!

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Elevate MindSkinSoul is all about helping you vibrate higher. Skin issues can lower your vibration as well as mental/emotional issues. I’ve been in all of those shoes and I want others to know they are not alone. I had people in my life fight for me when I couldn’t fight for myself and I will fight for you! It’s been a tough journey to get where I am and I’m still growing. I’ve picked myself up countless times, even when I barely could crippled with anxiety and depression. Every challenge has always been beauty on the other side. I moved away from my support system to chase my dreams and have had to start to create one here. That’s why another big aspect of my business is creating a safe, loving space for others to come together. I host community events and outings for the tribe to unite. No matter what you are going through we all need connection to heal. If you are looking for some kind-hearted, non-judgmental, FUN people to hang with we’d love to have you!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Well being the eclectic person I am we’d have to do a little of everything! Start with all the beautiful hiking Arizona has to offer and hit Sedona for all the healing vibes! Stop at lake pleasant for some water slides and fun in the sun! Then we would go eat some homemade Thai food from Molly’s Thai Ban. Very close second to our favorite place in our hometown Omaha, NE. Go hit a concert at Mesa Amphitheatre, a ballgame at chase field, and some leave it all on the floor dancing! Plus introduce them to all my wonderful new friends!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Gosh, there are so many beautiful people and experiences I’d love to dedicate my shoutout to! Its hard to choose just one. I have sought out countless hours of continuing skin training and always feel blessed to be there. I’ve had several spiritual mentors along the way that have helped me to be a better human. My family and friends have all been huge supporters! I learn by doing and through experiences and they have all shaped me to have the success I have now. I have learned from all of them good or bad, its still growth I am thankful for.
