Our Story

Noey was dreamed up and brought to life as the an embodiment of a self-love journey. Inspired by all the ways we take up space and how we show up, one thing remains constant - that YOU are the beauty in each of those spaces. You deserve to feel beautiful, in pieces as gorgeous as you. 
 
Our guiding vision is a brand that gives back, honors the environment, and spreads love. Thanks for being here.
Meet our founder, Racquel Carranza, MD
First generation Mexican-American, mama, perpetual dreamer and physician.
A self-proclaimed late-blooming creative, Racquel first started blogging under the name mindfulofmedicine. What started as sharing life, lessons, and musings as a medical student and new mom evolved into advocacy for pregnant and pumping people in medicine. As a pumping person working in healthcare, she had to pump where she could, when she could, and often could not cover. And so the idea behind the Maia Pumping Scrub Top was born - the first and only design of its kind. Piecing together old hospital scrubs, Racquel cut and sewed several prototypes of the Maia top. 
Soon other prototypes followed and became what is now the  Luxe Scrubs Collection. Echoing Racquel's commitment to advocacy, the vision for Noey remained rooted in the many ways we take up space and what we bring to the table. Your authentic self is so beautiful, and the goal of Noey is to help you and our community remember that YOU bring that beauty wherever you go. 
And, of course,  noey is named after Racquel's first born - Noah, who was born during her fourth year of medical school and pushed her to fight for equity for pregnant and pumping people in healthcare.
