Jen Newell, ND, founder of Connected Health & Skin, spent over a decade in the skincare world and saw a significant gap in what was being offered. That gap revolved around health and beauty rarely being associated with one another—their connection was being overlooked by both industries. Additionally, she noticed that anything to do with beauty was often marketed by preying on women's insecurities rather than offering support. She created Connected Health & Skin to offer a full-service, empowered approach to both health and beauty, integrating Naturopathic Medicine and aesthetics in a supportive, safe, inclusive environment. The team at Connected works together to address both the internal and underlying causes of skin concerns, while the aesthetics team delivers customized facials and treatments to address the external factors and support skin health.
