Abraza Skin Studio Founder
Dr. Natasha Welch
Natasha Welch is the founder of Abraza Skin Studio. She’s been a nurse practitioner in all specialties of adult cardiology and emergency medicine for 19 years before joining the field of medical aesthetics and permanent makeup. Her inspiration came after acquiring physical injuries and facial scars due to a near fatal car accident. She lost her left brow and acquired keloids. She underwent multiple plastic surgeries and aesthetic procedures. Her “Aha!” moment occurred in 2009 when she had her left brow permanently tattooed. It was a life changing moment and began the healing process for her self-esteem. Subsequently, she had lasers, microneedling for scar revision, microblading for brow touchup, botulinum toxin type A treatments, and platelet rich plasma for a thinning hair line. She knew, first hand, how these procedures made her feel and how successful they were in the healing process. While working overseas in the UAE, she began her new career journey and decided to dedicate her career to help others heal and increase their sense of well-being.
“Our goal at Abraza Skin Studio is to inspire women to embrace their natural beauty, challenge the status quo of beauty standards, heal our scars, and embrace our imperfections.” – Dr. Natasha Welch, DNP
