About Us

Who is Behind Favorite Self Shop?

Favorite Self Shop is the brainchild of Melissa and Samuel Durfey, and the culmination of My Self Care Doc and Capy Tees LLC. It's our pleasure to bring you all of the things that we provide at our store, from Korean skin care excellence, to self care tools, to fun and unique apparel of our own design.

Dr. Melissa Durfey DACM, LE aka My Self Care Doc is a multi-award-winning Doctor of Chinese Medicine, Holistic Esthetician and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. She offers her products and services online and at her Rohnert Park, CA office.

Melissa's clinical passion is inclusive medicine and her practice is designed to celebrate beauty and wellness outside of western standards without invasive procedures, or diet culture. Her specialties include stress management, skin disorders, digestive health, gluten free life and scar revision.

When she first started her practice in California 3 years ago, she was a one woman show. Recently, when Melissa's workload grew too big to handle, Sam left his day job to aid her with her daily operations and order fulfillment and opened shop as a printing and Apparel business called Capy Tees LLC!

Why Capy Tees LLC?

As our scope expanded, we found inspiration in the form of one of the internet’s favorite critters - the capybara. Big and cuddly with a calm demeanor, what always resonated - with Sam especially - is how they seem able to relax in the presence of any other creature, and how easily they make friends with anything and anyone. It was that kind of positive and inclusive energy that we wanted to bring to our online store. We felt that there was a great big space available for individualized merchandise and apparel with a message that was uplifting (and more than a little silly), as well as being inclusive in options, appearance and sizing.

Favorite Self Shop is a culmination of these two ideas - helping you love your self, from the skin you're in to the clothes you wear.

We hope you enjoy!

Dr. M & Sam
