Dr. Mattera: I really appreciated going over everything with you a couple weeks ago. I am beginning to understand myself more. I honestly believe it will still take time for all of it to sink in. However, I am feeling pretty confident about things now. Again, I really appreciate the time and effort you put into working with me. I will definitely contact you when other questions pop up. Thanks again!

- From a Former Client

A huge thank you to you on behalf of myself & my husband. After considering all that you said, our son has taken what you said to heart... your evaluation has given him a base on which to consider his future.

Before his consultation with you he just couldn't get focused, the world was too big and the possibilities too many. Until you spoke with him I don't think he could see himself in any jobs he had considered. But now he has been reading the information in the notebook, doing some reading online and talking about his future in a way we've never seen. He has set 30 day goals for himself. You were able to connect with him in a way nobody else has been able to do. If you weren't so wonderful at engaging him in a meaningful conversation it would have all been for naught. Perhaps later on he might want to come back and speak with you when he has narrowed his focus more.

Does this sound Familiar?

You’re showing up for

life on the outside—

but inside, you feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of what comes next.

You feel weighed down by anxiety, exhaustion, or sadness—and it’s hard to find your center.

You give so much to others that there’s little space left for your own needs, values, or well-being.

You find yourself stuck in the same patterns in your relationships, even though your heart longs for change.

You crave more balance, peace, and purpose—but aren’t sure how to create it.

You’ve tried pushing through or “fixing it” on your own, but something still feels out of alignment.

You’re ready for a supportive space to reflect, heal, and reconnect—with yourself, your values, and your joy.

You’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate this on your own.

I’m here to help you find clarity, calm, and a compassionate path forward—one that honors your values, restores your balance, and reconnects you to joy.

If we haven't met...

Hi, I'm Lacie Dionne

After looking in the mirror at 62 thinking, "Who is that old woman looking back at me?" – I became obsessed with exploring skincare and testing hundreds of products to find a simple, affordable solution to bring back my youthful glow—and I knew I didn't want to rely on Botox, fillers, or expensive treatments.

Now, I bring that expertise to women over 50, helping them achieve radiant, healthy skin and feel confident in their appearance, all from the comfort of their own homes.

I’ve seen too many amazing women feel frustrated and disappointed by skincare products that over-promise and under-deliver.

I’ve also seen too many women who love the idea of natural skincare but struggle to find products that actually work—feeling overwhelmed by complicated routines and products that don’t fit their budget or lifestyle.

That’s why I’m here to change that.

My purpose is to empower you with a simple, effective skincare routine that truly transforms mature skin, so you can feel beautiful, confident, and empowered without breaking the bank or losing time to endless routines.

You deserve to look and feel your best. Let’s make it happen together, naturally and affordably.

Learn from

Kimberly Montgomery, Founder of

Pretty Over Fifty.

At 62, I looked in the mirror and thought,

who is that old lady?

I didn’t recognize myself.

I wanted to make a change, to feel confident in my skin again, but I knew I wasn’t interested in Botox, fillers,

or doctor’s visits.

I wondered... Is it really possible to make a real difference with affordable, at-home products?

I wanted a solution that was simple, natural, and effective.

And as I explored hundreds of products and routines, I realized: other women would want

this information, too.

So, I set out on a journey to understand skincare—what actually works without breaking the bank.

And after plenty of trial and learning, I found that there are simple, effective ingredients that can dramatically change mature skin in just 90 days!

There’s no magic potion, no hundred-dollar jar required. Skincare doesn’t have to be complex or confusing; it’s about using natural ingredients that truly nourish and transform your skin.

Now, I help others achieve the same results I did, guiding them step-by-step. Because every woman deserves to feel beautiful in her skin—without the hefty price tag.

Most skincare companies are going to try to sell you a very expensive product and swear it's the magic potion. And the truth is, it's just not.

There are basic ingredients that can dramatically improve your skin for a fraction of the cost of high-end products.

Most women are sold on expensive products that aren't going to give them the results they're looking for, but you don't have to be.

It all comes down to a simple formula that nourishes your skin with natural, effective ingredients that your skin will thank you for!

Let’s Talk

You don’t have to wait until things fall apart.

If you’re carrying the weight of anxiety, depression, or relationship stress, know this: there is a way through.

And it starts with one courageous step.

I'm here, when you are ready.
