Mary Taylor-Smith, LE, MScN
Licensed Esthetician + Nutritionist

Mary is a Licensed Esthetician and Holistic Nutritionist based in Maryland. She specializes in the skin x gut connection and women’s health throughout the lifecycle, but everyone is welcome.

After studying nutrition and herbalism in Vermont, she became interested in the cross section of internal support and topical skin treatments, eventually becoming a licensed esthetician. She began taking clients in 2019 while she continued to explore how our internal ecosystem is reflected in our skin, and teaching her local community how to use herbs for skin health in her workshop series Skin Food.

She saw firsthand how intentional topical care paired with dietary changes and nervous system support can improve skin health without medications or treatments that damage the skin barrier. In 2025 she began pursuing her Masters of Science in Clinical Nutrition so she can help clients build stronger foundations of health.
