Her passion lies in helping both clients and therapists reach their skincare goals, whether it’s through a glowing facial with a dose of relaxation or the rejuvenating power of skin needling.
Outside the beauty world, Jen’s heart belongs to the kitchen, whipping up delicious French and Italian dishes. You’ll most likely find her on weekends unwinding at Bicton Baths with her kids, soaking in the sunshine and making memories.

India
Meet India, a skilled nurse with 7 years of experience, starting her journey in emergency care for 4 years before finding her true passion as a Cosmetic Nurse for the last 3.
When it comes to treatments, she swears by Nanofrac and stem cells for that rejuvenated glow, and her skincare routine always includes a dash of Retinol for that extra radiance.
Europe holds a special place in her heart — Paris in the summer, any corner of Italy, or San Sebastián. She’s the proud owner of Emilio Estevez, her cheeky 5-year-old Puggle.
Oh, and fun fact: India is actually half Indian — yes, that’s where the name comes from! She’s also busy planning her wedding for November 2025.

Jaz
Meet Jaz: a powerhouse with 5 years of experience in Office Management and as an Executive Assistant, having worked across mineral development, mining, and construction. After a “gap year” working casually in retail, Jaz had a lightbulb moment: What am I doing in construction? And just like that, her skin journey began.
Fast forward to late 2024, she's all about balancing work and wellness with a keen focus on skincare. Greece holds the crown as her favourite place in the world, where the sun, sea, and stunning landscapes are simply unbeatable.
Her ideal Saturday involves diving into a good book at the beach, nestled under an umbrella, followed by a relaxed dinner with friends — the perfect mix of chill and social, and we agree.
Must-have treatment: Skin Needling! Also Oxygen peels when the warm layer goes on omgggggggg.
Holy grail product: Hydrating B5 Gel from Skinceuticals.

Four years ago, Sam returned to Perth, where she's been busy growing her family ever since. Outside of work, she’s embracing new hobbies — learning to play tennis, perfecting her baking skills, and devouring books in her downtime.
