Natalie Hollis Clem
Introducing Natalie Hollis Clem, the newest addition to our "Where Are They Now?" series brings us great excitement. Natalie took part in our Customized Advanced Full Day Training with Rana & Cristina at The Confidence Lab in July, 2024. She was not only an attendee, but a model as well!
What were you doing before you got into aesthetics?
I have been a nurse since 2005 with a background in Medical Surgical Nursing as well as Labor & Delivery. When I graduated with my FNP in 2020, I worked in Women's Health Clinics and continue to do so 2 days a week today as it is also a passion of mine.
What inspired you to pursue a career in aesthetics?
Honestly, I had always wanted to "dabble" in the aesthetic realm but had never had the opportunity. To save you from a long sappy story (I will tell you if you really want to know, just let me know), I kind of just landed into it several years ago without even trying. I went in for a botox appointment one day and left with a job at a Med Spa.
Why did you choose The Confidence Lab's training program?
I have been following Rana since I started in the aesthetic industry, and I absolutely LOVE her energy and the way she connects with her patients. I knew I would want to train with her just for that fact alone as well as her knowledge and experience. I started following her on Patreon for those reasons as well.
What is your favorite aspect of working in the field of aesthetics?
My absolute favorite things about working in the aesthetic industry is having the ability to help women and men bring their confidence back. The look on their face when they are in my chair and see their transformation is worth every single minute of growth and education for me. It brings joy and gratitude to my heart!
What are you doing now?
I now am the founder of The Collective Salon & Spa and work with an amazing little group of ladies. I work 2 days a week at the Women's Clinic which is right down the road from the spa. I see patients at the spa every Monday, Wednesday, & Friday and two Saturdays out of the month with goals to grow and be here daily.
What advice would you give to those considering a career in this field?
For anyone who would want to being their journey in aesthetics, do it from a heart space. Do it from a place of kindness and seeing in others what they cannot. Do not do it strictly for monetary gain. Also, know that this is a field of medicine that is changing daily. It requires a lot of determination, perseverance and goal setting to get where you want to be. It takes a lot of continuing education to stay at the top of your craft and set you apart from others. While this field seems like a "cake" job to some, it isn't. Regardless if you own a business or work for someone, it takes a lot to gain the knowledge and skill set to treat people appropriately with good outcomes.
