Something about me:
My career journey began with a Bachelor of Health Science.
I started off with a graduate programme at the Dept. Of Critical Care Medicine at Auckland Hospital in 1998.
I learnt and gained a wealth of knowledge skills and valuable experience before I left for London with my girlfriends for another stint of intensive care for 3 years and was able to pursue my passion for travelling and to be close to my late fathers family in London UK 🇬🇧 and Denmark.
On my return in 2003, I specialised in post anaesthesia care for 19 years where my primary role was caring for the unconscious patient post surgery in airway management.
My specialities included trauma, burns, neurology, urology, cardio thoracic, orthopaedics, obstetrics, ophthalmology dermatology and plastics.
I have forever been passionate about everything skin, make up 💄 and holistic wellbeing as I inherited a background of Ayurvedic practice from my mother as she is an avid connoisseur, so that was something that always came as second nature throughout my life.
The catalyst for starting this new journey was triggered by the 1st pandemic and then the finale was the 2nd lockdown which sealed the deal with moving on to a fresh new start.
The field of facial and skin aesthetics brings together 4 of my favourite things. Science 🧪Skin 💫 Art & Wellness 🌿 whilst still fulfilling my purpose to be a caring empathetic nurse.
I am very grateful to have an amazing expert in facial aesthetics and plastic and reconstructive surgeon @drzacmoaveni as my oversight doctor for my medi spa.
Dr Moaveni is a consultant of Plastics & Reconstructive Surgery at Middlemore, Starship and Kidz First hospital.
Am blessed that this industry provides extensive training, life long learning and sharing of knowledge that I can easily access on so many platforms so that it allows me to remain passionate in doing what I love ❤️ one face at a time 💫

Dermapen Microneedling with Exosomes by the best Rashida at @skinbarnz
We are tackling issues with pigmentation that has creeped up suddenly, improving skin texture and promoting collagen induction.
Microneedling is an incredibly safe procedure increasing collagen and elastin by 400%, more than what your own body generates in a single treatment.
I am now 12 days post treatment and have so far noticed some stubborn pigmentation around the mouth lift, refined skin texture, smoother and hydrated skin. Makeup application, like butter!
Highly recommend for my brides to be and for general skin maintenance.

I try not to overshare anything personal on here but then so many of you share your personal journeys with me during treatments so thought I would reconnect again on a personal level to let you know there is a human behind the scene.
MIA in Türkiye 🇹🇷 with family & friends and a place sentimental to my heart ♥️ and stomach 🤤
Thank you for all your patience and support

POV the 2 weeks before my wedding
1. Microneedling with exosomes.
I did this at the @skinbarnz now located at @kenko_studios exactly 2 weeks before the wedding. Rashida is the absolute best and I love that I only did one treatment. Perfect ahead of a special event or photoshoot.
2. Lymphatic drainage massage
Perfect once I arrived in Bali after flying and to reduce fluid retention.
3. Pilates + Walking
My ride or die combo to sculpt and stay lean. I kept the exact same workout routine while in Bali before the wedding. Focusing on mat Pilates @wildpilates and zone 2 cardio walking
4. Prioritise protein and hydration.
Eating well to feel my best, protein is key and I also focused on fiber and lots of nutrients. I also stepped up the hydration in the lead up - lots of water and a coconut each day 🥥🌴
5. Luminosity masque the night before.
I kept the skincare simple, double cleansing and the @sansceuticals superdose luminosity masque the night before
6. Red light mask every night
I use the red and blue light @currentbody mask but there are so many amazing options. This was recommended by @skinbarnz Consistency is key here.
7. Supplements.
I travelled with my supplements that I have been taking to help with my skin as well reducing dairy. Omega 3s, zinc, @mitchells.nz beef liver capsules & protein + @byrewellnessclub matcha + @drinkdaeli electrolytes. To find the best mix of supplements for you book a session with @elo_wellbeing_
These 2 👯♂️ are my regular muses using a combination of medical grade skin exosomes @xytide.bio and @biologique_recherche serums to resurface texture and uneven pigmentation to create that perfect canvas so make up can glide on like butter 🧈 and skin care is better absorbed into the facial skin
Micro-needling is not always created equal.
In the hands of a medically trained aesthetician using the correct tool, depth of needles, products and technique can make all the difference to achieve that skiiining glow 💫

WORK IN PROGRESS:
Stubborn pigmentation using the medical grade ethnic meline depigmentation treatment.
Only 3 weeks in from 1st peel, 2 months to go!
There is still some redness and peeling/flaking skin but this is perfectly normal as skin regenerates and turns over new skin cells.
This treatment requires patience, consistency and commitment, however the results are incredible 💫
Thank you 🙏 Stacey for entrusting me with your skin
The best time to do this treatment is in the depths of winter 🥶 when sunlight sensitivity is at a minimum
