About me
Tucked away in the heart of Welcome Bay, Tauranga, my private home studio is a peaceful and professional space where you can take a break from the noise of everyday life, and just focus on YOU.
With over 30 years’ experience as a beauty therapist, both here and back in Scotland, I offer more than just treatments - I offer genuine support, care, and honest advice tailored to you. My experienced approach is always thoughtful and thorough, with real attention to detail to ensure you receive the best care possible in every treatment I provide. Whether you’re dealing with ongoing skin concerns or just need a moment to relax and feel like yourself again, you can trust that I’ll listen to what you need, and provide personalised care that hopefully leaves you feeling rejuvenated and cared for.
There’s no need to be anything other than yourself here. No airs and graces, just come as you are. Your comfort, privacy, and wellbeing is always at the heart of what I do, as my wish is that you feel completely safe and relaxed. Enjoying your visit is always my priority for you!
I have been lucky enough to have been in the beauty industry for forever, but when I’m not working on my business, you’ll find me spending time with my other loves, my family and my animals (who, honestly, outnumber us!). Between the horses, dogs, cats, and chickens, life is never quiet.
I'm genuinely looking forward to sharing my passion for beauty and skin with you, and ensuring you feel the utmost care and attention during your visit to me at Wild Thistle Beauty!
Hope to see you soon
