The Story Behind
Clinical BeautyMed
How years of clinical research, patient conversations, and a lifelong passion for understanding became a mission to help women make more informed skin and health decisions.
Meet The Founder
Hi Beauties,
I’m so glad you're here. My name is Natalia Beckenhauer, DNP, RN. I'm a nurse researcher and educator with more than 18 years of experience in clinical care and research.
Where It Began
My path into healthcare, and eventually to Clinical BeautyMed, has been shaped by both professional and personal experiences. My path began as a teen mother and first-generation college graduate, both experiences that came with real challenges but also strengthened my resolve to pursue higher education, leading me to earn a graduate degree and advanced specialized training in healthcare and clinical research. I am someone who understands how stress, grief, and life seasons can deeply affect both health and skin. Through seasons of life, heartbreak, loss, and personal challenges, these experiences shaped my belief that beauty, health, and wellness should be approached with intention, supported by natural principles, realistic expectations, and a deeply human perspective.
As for this platform, it has always been a dream of mine to establish my own venture, but not just any business ~ a dream that allows me to do something I absolutely love. It is my privilege to share the knowledge and experience I’ve gained over the years, offering guidance and support to those seeking more for their health, well-being, and a meaningful approach to beauty through every season of life.
What Changed My Perspective
There is an abundance of information on beauty products and treatments, which is both a blessing and a curse, as it can be overwhelming to know where to turn for optimal results, what is right for you, the treatment duration, and potential side effects that may arise over time. Not all skincare is equal, and for good reason. My goal is to support you with the knowledge you need for your unique skin type through your own seasons of life.
Throughout my nursing career, I’ve seen a consistent gap: people want to care for their skin and overall wellness, but commonly lack clear education, ongoing support, and trustworthy guidance. At the same time, healthcare providers face real limits on time and resources. Clinical BeautyMed was created to help fill that gap.
My approach is based on science, systems-based thinking, whole-body wellness, and real-world patient experience. I help readers understand the many factors that can influence skin health and translate evidence-informed information into practical questions and considerations for everyday life. My goal is to help you understand what the evidence supports, what considerations may be relevant to your circumstances, and what questions to discuss with a qualified healthcare or aesthetic professional. In an industry full of noise and marketing claims, my goal is to help you understand what works, why it works, and what’s right for you so you can make informed, confident decisions.
Why Clinical BeautyMed Exists:
I'm passionate about helping you move through every stage of your skin health and wellness decisions with clarity and certainty. Here, you’ll find well-researched information, honest advice, and a few affiliate products I’ve either used myself or reviewed carefully.
