Join Heather Barnhouse, Partner in our Edmonton office, as she explores women in leadership and entrepreneurship, and the ecosystem that supports them. In this episode, Heather welcomes Dr. Stephanie Liu, family physician and founder and CEO of Dr. Mom Skincare, to discuss her path into medicine, including early setbacks that led to a Columbia University master’s in nutrition, and how her patients’ eczema concerns inspired an evidence-based, hypoallergenic skincare line using beta-glucan developed with University of Alberta-linked technology. Stephanie explains eczema triggers in Alberta, the company’s early growth through word of mouth, pharmacies and dermatology clinics, and expansion from a bath product to a cream with future lip balm and face cream plans. She also reflects on regulatory learnings, decision-making pressures, balancing multiple roles, and the value of compartmentalizing time and building operational support.To find out more about Dr. Mom visit their website.
