University of Canterbury Degree : Biochemistry 2018, compliments my work and specialisation in the use of Lactic Acid, retinol and other active skin care products. My strength is my knowledge of age prevention using antioxidants. Not all skin care products are equal. This is a well-guarded secret kept by skin care companies and the multimillion-dollar industry it is. I compliment my treatments with the trademark Omnilux Light Therapies (LED) , Derma needling using the Proton Pen technique, IPL for hair removal, pigmentation removal and skin rejuvenation and now introducing the Cryopen for Skin Tag removal.

I will design a personal skin care program to achieve excellent skin quality for you without locking you in to a long-term contract such as some other clinics do. The only commitment needed is for you to do it.

Electrology or permanent hair removal by thermology has been my strength for many years using this modality rather than IPL to remove non pigmented hair particularly in mature male and female clients who need facial hair removed. We are a gender, nonspecific friendly clinic.

While my qualifications are important, equally so is the ability to relate to people. In the 1980’s I worked for 15 years in a voluntary capacity for World Vision as an area representative and currently am still involved personally as well as the company sponsoring 3 children in India, Uganda, and Mozambique.

As a Toastmaster of 25 years, I have an Advanced Toastmasters Gold Qualification and am currently working on the new Pathways Business Management Program. Currently I am Area Director for Toastmasters participating in training and education for members.
