HBZVN: Natalia, could you please tell us about yourself? Where did you study, and why did you decide to become a medic?
NATASHA DE GRAAF: My interest in medicine began in childhood. I was born into a family where my grandmother was a doctor. Additionally, my grandfather, who held great authority in my life, gave me a book titled “Vocation.” This book depicted selfless doctors, paramedics, and nurses who went to great lengths to save others during the Second World War.
From a young age, I was fascinated by nature and all living beings in this world. I was drawn to beauty in all its forms: nature, animals, and people. By the time I graduated from school, I had no doubt about my career path—I wanted to become a doctor. In 1998, I graduated from Lviv Medical University, and in 2001, I completed my studies at Leiden University in the Netherlands.
HBZVN: In 2011, you opened your LiquidBeauty clinic. How does it differ from others, and what is its specialty?
NATASHA DE GRAAF: Before opening my clinic, I gained experience working in various settings and realized that I wanted to create a unique concept. As a doctor who owns clinics, I found that many organizational issues were streamlined. Our clinic prioritizes a personalized approach to each client. For example, clients have the option to choose their own doctor. Quality is always our top priority. We strive for client satisfaction, always focusing on achieving the best results.
For us, a beautiful outcome is more valuable than money. We receive our clients warmly, and our team operates like a big, friendly family. Our clinic specializes in aesthetic procedures such as fillers, botox, and various rejuvenation treatments. As a doctor and enthusiast of my work, we always stay updated with the latest developments in aesthetic medicine.
HBZVN: In 2022, you won the prestigious title of 1st participant of the Miss Classic Grand Sea World contest. What led to this title, and why did you decide to participate in the contest?
NATASHA DE GRAAF: Achieving the 1st Runner Up title at Mrs. Grand Sea World boosted my confidence even more. I am delighted to have inspired and motivated many women to look and feel great at any age. Participating in the contest brought me many pleasant experiences and wonderful connections. I thoroughly enjoyed being among beautiful individuals in a festive atmosphere.
HBZVN: You were recently honored by Exclusive World Records as a multi-talented woman. Let’s talk about that.
NATASHA DE GRAAF: I’m honored to have received an award from Exclusive World Records as a multi-talented woman. As a doctor of Medicine and owner of LiquidBeauty clinics, I combine medical expertise with a passion for beauty. I am not only a successful practitioner but also a versatile artist, showcasing my talents as a singer, photo-model, and achieving the prestigious title of 1st Runner Up at Miss Classic Grand Sea World in 2022.
HBZVN: Please share with us your plans for business and self-development.
NATASHA DE GRAAF: My career has been steadily progressing, so it’s hard to pinpoint my greatest achievement. I have numerous plans for the future, and I believe my greatest success is yet to come. I aspire to expand my business globally by opening clinics in various countries. I continue to invest in self-improvement. Over the years, I have undergone significant personal growth, learning to analyze and understand myself, develop my strengths, and work on my weaknesses. I have become more focused and self-confident.
HBZVN: You look stunning, and you possess extensive knowledge about beauty and health. Could you share some tips with our readers on how to maintain their youth?
NATASHA DE GRAAF: I would advise your readers to embrace positivity, indulge themselves and others, and cherish life’s pleasures. While I advocate for a healthy lifestyle, I am not a fanatic and believe in enjoying life’s pleasures. […] The key is to find joy in life, love and pamper oneself, take care of one’s body, and if necessary, consider aesthetic and plastic procedures.
