MEET THE TEAM

SAXIRA AESTHETICS & WELLNESS TEAM

DR. Henrietta Bright

For over 17 years, Dr. Henrietta Bright has been dedicated to helping people feel their absolute best—inside and out. With an extensive background in biochemistry, molecular biology, and advanced nursing, she combines medical expertise with a deep passion for wellness, aesthetics, and self-care.

Her journey into health and wellness began at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, where she earned her Biochemistry & Molecular Biology degree. She then pursued her master’s in nursing at Georgetown University, becoming a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) and completed her Doctorate degree at Missouri State University. With years of experience in Level 1 trauma centers, outpatient surgery, and dental anesthesia, she developed a unique perspective on the intersection of medicine, beauty, and holistic wellness.

Beyond her professional expertise, Dr. Bright’s personal health journey has shaped her approach to care. She has navigated PCOS and infertility, which has given her a profound sense of empathy for those on their own health journeys. She understands that wellness isn’t just about appearance, it’s about feeling empowered, confident, and balanced. As a mother to a neurodivergent child, she has also embraced a perspective that values unique strengths, different ways of thinking, and the beauty of neurodiversity. These experiences have deepened her commitment to creating spaces where everyone feels seen, understood, and supported on their wellness journey.

Through her own life experiences, Dr. Bright has also witnessed firsthand the transformative power of investing in self-care. Balancing a demanding career, family, and personal growth, she learned that self-care isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. Whether it’s prioritizing skin health, embracing wellness treatments, or simply taking time to recharge, she understands the profound impact these choices have on confidence, energy, and overall well-being.

When she’s not co-running Saxira or caring for clients, you’ll probably catch her singing, dancing, or exploring new destinations. She loves to travel, experience new cultures and drawing inspiration from wellness practices around the world. Married for 21 years, she believes in the power of love, connection, and living with passion. With a scientific mind and a healer’s heart, Dr. Bright is on a mission to help others embrace beauty, wellness, and confidence in a way that’s truly transformative.
