Meet Makayla

Makayla Hawes is a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and is currently studying Herbalism in a program with Commonwealth Herbs. Makayla is passionate about helping women learn their bodies through aligning their diet, lifestyles, and exercise to be in balance with their body’s needs. 

Makayla’s introduction to Apothekary was as a customer. For years she had tried prescription approaches, dermatological treatments and topical skincare solutions to address chronic hormonal acne that was really weighing on her confidence. When nothing worked (and many approaches caused side effects), she tried You Dew You. She documented her before and after journey with You Dew You, and noticed such profound results she knew she needed to let others know about natural approaches to health. 

Currently, she resides in Las Vegas, NV and enjoys hiking various trails and visiting the National Parks in the area.
