Season 2: Episode #2: Confidence from the Inside Out: Concierge Aesthetics, Sexual Health, & Community Care

Host: Dr. Angel White, DNP, PMHNP, FNP-BC

Guest: Dr. Tori Battle, DNP, FNP-BC

On this episode of Black Excellence in Healthcare: White Coats & Real Talk, were diving into the powerful intersection of confidence, healthcare, and community impact.

I sat down with the phenomenal Dr. Tori Battle, a doctoral-prepared Family Nurse Practitioner who is redefining what it means to care for patients from providing concierge aesthetic services focused on natural-looking results to serving patients in a community clinic centered on sexual and reproductive health.

This conversation is all about:

Empowering patients to feel confident in their own skin

Breaking stigmas around sexual and reproductive health

The evolving role of Nurse Practitioners in aesthetics and wellness

And why representation in healthcare matters more than ever

If youve ever wondered how healthcare, beauty, and patient empowerment intersect this is an episode you dont want to miss.

Tune in and join the conversation.
