We celebrate as women that are fierce and capable of anything.

In all of our endeavors we share our skills, our talents, and connection to each other. We are here to support each other, one bra at a time or one skin formula at a time.

We share the journey to success and happiness.

When asked by my dear friend and colleague, Bree McKeen, to be featured as a Fierce Female, it reminded me of the importance of remembering that all things are possible in life. I always tell my daughters dreams do come true. I have successfully launched Luca Botanica Holistic Skincare as a way to share my formulas beyond my medical practice. I was accepted into the esteemed British Society for Botanical Artists and have embarked on a journey that will take my art to London, Spain, and Germany to tour with botanical artists from around the world. My goal is to be part of the solution to improve our healthcare system for all, one patient at a time.Īs many of us have experienced in life, when we invest in ourselves and are able to focus our intentions through hard work and dedication, we are able to reach farther than we initially thought. I have worked in holistic dermatology for many years, with thousands of patients of all ages, both men and women, and have seen what the skin needs in response to our environments, the sun, our genetics, and lifestyle choices. Her life’s work is to help people with their health by finding the best medicines and lifestyle practices to live well, age well, and be inspired to be the absolute best version of themselves. She has chaired international non-profit organizations to protect the girl-child from violence and the medical issues involved with early marriage and childbirth. She has worked at the National University of Natural Medicine as an adjunct professor of Dermatology and Clinical Physical Diagnosis and lectures privately for women’s groups, such as Women of Nike at the Nike World Headquarters and the Portland Police Bureau, to provide education on topics such as the importance of addressing excessive stress exposure for women in the workplace.

Her herbal skincare formulas are well loved by her patients and she recently launched her organic skincare line Luca Botanica. She is well known nationally for her radiofrequency precision dermatology surgery procedures and internationally for her botanical art. Hilary Costello, naturopathic physician and skin surgeon, has served the Portland, Oregon community since 2005 at her private practice Luca Holistic Medicine.
