Living Comfortably in Your Skin: Proactive Healing, Alignment & Self-Care With Dr. Crystal

Healing doesn’t always begin when something is broken. Sometimes, it begins when we slow down, listen to our bodies, and choose to care for ourselves proactively.

This episode explores nervous system healing, chiropractic care, holistic wellness, proactive self-care, and plant-based skincare for eczema-prone skin.

In this episode of You Are Heard, host Aniola Pierre sits down with Dr. Crystal — chiropractor, wellness entrepreneur, and founder of Viv Essential Skincare — for a powerful conversation about nervous system alignment, holistic healing, and learning how to truly live comfortably in your skin.

Dr. Crystal shares how her journey into skincare began while searching for a solution for her children’s eczema, how plant-based ingredients transformed their skin, and how that personal healing evolved into a mission to support others dealing with chronic skin conditions.

Together, they explore:

• How chiropractic alignment supports the nervous system
• Why chiropractic care is about prevention, not just pain
• How physical, emotional, and chemical stress live in the body
• Eczema, inflammation, and skin health
• Plant-based skincare and gut health
• Self-love rituals and speaking life over your body
• “Skinfessionals” and affirmations as part of healing
• Why alignment is a form of self-care
• What it really means to live comfortably in your skin

This episode reframes healing as something gentle, intentional, embodied, and deeply connected to the mind, body, and spirit.
