Bio – Dr. George Baxter-Holder – Seattle, Washington

Dr. George Baxter-Holder has spent the majority of his life in Seattle and has a deep love for this part of the country and its attitude towards wellness. He studied nursing at The University of Washington (Master of Nursing and Bachelor of Arts) and Duke University (Doctor of Nursing Practice.)

What makes George someone you can trust with your highest aesthetic needs, is something that can’t be taught: patience, artistic vision, and medical expertise.

George has coined the phrase “The Northwest Natural Look” to encapsulate the conservative aesthetic results his clients desire. George’s expert technique and personalized approach reflect his innate understanding of what we in the Northwest want: to look better, naturally.

George focuses on the wellness of his patients and truly believes that lifestyle changes are fundamental in order to sustain good health and an improved quality of life. Perceived inner and outer beauty is equally essential to the wholeness of the individual. His positive energy and motivation is engaging and empowers his patients to love themselves and truly love the skin within.

    Juliet,

    I think George’s story is one of the best interviews you’ve done. The story is really inspiring and it’s reminded me that I don’t have to be ashamed of the setbacks that have happened to me in my life. They’ve happened, as we all fall every now and then, but then we have to get up dust ourselves off and keep walking.

    Brilliant!

    Thanks, Tom! Glad you enjoyed the interview. Yes, what you say is true – we do have to dust ourselves off and keep going after having setbacks. 🙂
