In this enriching episode of Manners and Other Matters, Louise Percy is joined by the remarkable Dr. Fernanda de Silva Tatley—a molecular microbiologist, artist, and founder of a pioneering botanical skincare company based in New Zealand. Together, they explore the deeper meaning of elegance, the emotional and energetic power of skincare, and how self-care can become an intentional act of wellbeing and gratitude.
This conversation invites listeners to reframe skincare not as a superficial beauty ritual, but as a daily opportunity to nurture body, mind, and spirit. Dr. Tatley shares the story behind her brand, her commitment to vegan and sustainable ingredients, and the neuroscience of self-care. Her philosophy? True elegance is authenticity—aging with grace, embracing simplicity, and making mindful choices that honour our wellbeing.
Whether you're passionate about skincare, interested in natural living, or simply seeking a more gracious way to treat yourself, this episode is a nourishing listen.
