About Maggie

Maggie Miley Kelly is an advanced practice licensed esthetician, registered yoga and meditation instructor, energy healer and holistic health coach, entrepreneur, educator, writer, reader, dancer, and dreamer. After more than two decades of building a career in skincare treatments, product and equipment sales, and education, Maggie longed to settle into her own space and create a business based on all the things she really believed in and valued about the skincare industry.

In 2012, Maggie opened Complexions On Carter Skincare Boutique, a small skincare spa in St. Paul, Minnesota, with a focus on healing adolescent to adult acne and amazing aging (her preferred term, rather than the discouraging and unrealistic term “anti-aging”). In 2019, she added more space to host groups for meditation, sound bath healing, and skincare classes.

As word got around, Maggie began to realize there was no shortage of people seeking what she was offering: skincare treatments and education that focused on the whole self, and a holistic approach that addressed nutrition, stress levels, hormonal factors, lifestyle and habits, as well as topical products and ingredients. The Complexion Companion is her first book, based on her clients’ most frequently asked questions and conversations.
