This week on the show, guest Desiree Holman. Holman is a former art-star turned Nurse Practitioner-in-training. As the Founder of Face, a radical wellness clinic in Oakland, CA, she is trying to help people cultivate better relationships to their appearance through body-positive, age-positive and gender-affirming wellness services. During their conversation, Desiree and The Side Woo unpack issues around physical beauty that are both personal and taking place on a larger, socio-political scale.
About Desiree Holman
Hi, I’m Desiree. I adore my clients and the non-invasive well-aging products & services I offer. FACE, my beauty, and wellness business established in 2019, is all about empowering you to fall in love with yourself through art and science. The FACE experience is based on a one-on-one connection. I listen deeply and carefully to ensure that each client feels seen, heard, and understood. From there, I call on the full force of my intelligence, which includes many years of experience, advanced training, and natural artistry, to help achieve the desired results. I only offer services that I can personally attest to and truly believe in because they deliver amazing results. I know because I have extensively tested every single service FACE offers on myself. Before starting FACE, I enjoyed a career as an artist and art professor for over a decade. Creating a business focused on diverse corporal beauty is a natural extension of my lifelong passions and a new way for me to engage my artistry. FACE believes beauty is a natural after-effect of a body, mind, & spirit that are deeply nourished and well cared for. With a focus on self-care, we can step away from a historical & tyrannical beauty standard. Beauty ideals are an extension of the profound truth that our image and our body are our own to do with as we please. There is no one formula to beauty; there is only what makes you feel good. Join us in creating a well-aging beauty utopia where grey hair, fat bodies, dark skin, gender non-conformity, & the natural process of aging are desirable.
