Drive And Instinct To Leave A Legacy

by xenïa antunes

Ask yourself…“Will you die with just a bunch of cool clothes and stuff or will you make a difference?” 

Laurie Nicoll could have all the cool clothes and stuff she wants. Instead, her passion is to help people gain confidence showing their face in public. Laurie knows first hand that when your skin doesn’t look vibrant it’s difficult to feel good about yourself. 

Through her Footprints Foundation, Laurie’s vision is to fund research to understand and unravel skin problems that trouble people around the world. Her dream is to send medical teams to foreign countries and help underserved populations clear up skin issues and help people feel good about the way they look. 

Imagine… you’re three years old, standing in your underwear in a very small, closet-like room. The walls are covered in tinfoil and large ultraviolet light bulbs line the room. You’re told to stand with your arms out from your side – DON’T TOUCH THE WALLS or you’ll get burned – for three minutes straight. Murder for anyone. Imagine what it’s like for a three-year-old. 

Laurie Nicoll doesn’t have to imagine. She lived it at three…and four…and five…and… over and over – 3 and 4 times per week. 

Born with a lymphatic system unable to produce vitamin A & D, standing in that room is just one of the rituals Laurie endured trying to eliminate chronic cracking and bleeding skin that has harassed her throughout life. 

Fast forward through childhood and launching five successful businesses and Laurie finds herself working at a biotech firm with doctors and researchers involved with stem-cell research. Curious and naive, Laurie asks the docs “Can you grown skin?” HA! Of course they can! 

Determined to resolve her own skin issue, Laurie worked with doctors and researchers for 18 months to capture the growth factors in adult stem cells that rejuvenate the skin. What she found is that when you apply these growth factors topically, they absorb into the skin and stimulate normal skin cells to respond and rejuvenate. From hard work and a dedicated team came a new skin rejuvenation system – Stemulation. 

From teens to the silver haired generation, Stemulation is creating results. People using Stemulation experience amazing results with reducing the effects of acne, rosacea, sun spots, lines and wrinkles. Her drive to help herself is now helping so many others. 

Her passion, combined with tennacity and business moxie, is creating a legacy that is making a difference. As she grows the Footprints Foundation and achieves her vision to help others, she will create a legacy that is sustainable and stands the test of time.
