A Special Milestone
I’m incredibly honoured to have been selected to represent New Zealand at the Nimue International Skincare Therapist Awards 2025, presented in South Africa in 2026.
These awards bring together talented skincare professionals from around the world and celebrate excellence, innovation, exceptional results, and a genuine commitment to client care. To be chosen to represent New Zealand was already such a privilege — and the experience became even more special than I could have imagined.
Awarded Top Therapist & Category Winner
I was deeply honoured to receive the title of Top Therapist in New Zealand and to be named Category Winner based on multiple transformative Nimue case studies.
This recognition means so much to me, as it reflects the care, knowledge, and personalised approach I bring to every client's skin health journey. Helping people achieve healthy, confident skin is something I’m truly passionate about.
The Nimue category celebrates therapists who achieve exceptional outcomes using the globally recognised Nimue Skin Technology range, known for its science-led focus on skin rejuvenation, correction, and long-term skin health.
The case studies showcased not only visible transformation, but also the confidence and wellbeing that can come from feeling comfortable in your own skin.
A Passion for Results and Genuine Care
For me, skin therapy has always been about more than treatments alone. It’s about understanding that every person’s skin is unique, and taking the time to listen, support, and create a plan that feels right for them.
I love helping clients feel more confident in their skin, whether we are addressing problematic skin, menopausal concerns, skin longevity, improving the skin barrier or pigmentation, I focus on restoring balance, strength, and radiance to the skin.
This recognition is a reflection of many years of dedication, continued education, and my commitment to helping each client achieve their best possible results through tailored treatment plans and professional homecare guidance.
