Join myself, Kristina and India on IG Live on Tuesday night (12 May) at 7pm.

An aesthetic nurse and a barber/tattoo duo, talking business, q***rness, and why people within our community actually want to be celebrated and recognised for it, rather than blend in with everybody else.

I haven't done anything like this before, so I'm excited (and nervous)! Questions and quirkiness welcome.

Historically, microneedling has been marketed as the main event, and topical add-ons as nice-to-haves.

But more recently, clinical research actually shows that it's the combination (both the micro-injuries and what's delivered into them) that drives the most significant outcomes.

The channels created by needling allow topicals to bypass the skin barrier entirely and reach the dermis, where they can actually do something to deeper components of the skin.

What gets applied during needling matters, and not all add-ons work the same way.

Swipe to learn what each one does and why it's in the menu here at NDI.

This post is general information only, not a recommendation to seek prescription products or a guarantee of outcomes. All procedures carry risks that should be discussed in consultation before treatment. Skin concerns are complex and vary between individuals. Any treatment or skincare decision should be made with a qualified practitioner who can assess your situation properly.

Over the past few months I have watched a patient’s full face of angry pimples quite literally disappear after one single exosome needling treatment and a slight tweak to her at-home skincare routine.

The tweak involved switching her foaming acne cleanser for a gentle creamy one, introducing glycolic acid serum at night, and ditching the god awful body exfoliating glove.

Speaking from personal experience from my teenage years, the exfoliating glove is NOT smoothing out your bumps and helping you towards a clean slate like you think. It’s breaking your skin barrier, allowing grime to get into your pores, and making your pimples worse.

It’s also scraping away the new skin barrier that’s trying to be built, and your problems can’t go away without adequate protection from the outside world!

Filing away ‘dead’ skin manually is not the answer. Applying nourishing ingredients to your skin so it can repair, with active ingredients that target specific issues, is key.

Before I was in the industry, I was of the belief that skincare was a scam (mind you I had been using all the wrong products and techniques, so of course that was my belief)!

Now Glycolic Acid serum is my best friend. I would not have believed anyone who told me a product could replace aggressively scrubbing my face to take away the gritty feeling on my nose. In fact, last year I used it completely sceptically and woke up the next morning absolutely shocked.

If you are struggling with skin issues and you haven’t taken the time to understand why you should use certain products - and why you should give others the flick - you would likely benefit from a skin consult.

Getting on top of your skin concerns does not need to involve a complicated, multi-product routine. We can start with just one or two products that are most relevant to your situation.

Please note this is general advice for the person who is not very skin literate, buys their skincare from Mecca or low quality supermarket/pharmacy brands such as Nivea and Neutrogena, and does not suffer as a result of complicated conditions, such as hormonal, that require specialist support.

Many of us learn very early how to read a room. Before we answer a simple question, we scan the person asking it for tone, facial expression, body language.

Then we decide how honest it feels safe to be. Sometimes that means simplifying the story, sometimes it means leaving details out. Other times, it means giving any answer that will end the conversation quickly.

I’ve done this many times in service environments. I wanted to avoid the shift in energy that can happen when someone decides they don’t approve of you.

If you’ve ever watched a provider’s reaction before finishing a sentence, you know exactly what I mean. People who live outside the “default” mould become very good at this.

Q***r people.
Neurodivergent people.
S_x workers.
People from CALD backgrounds.
People who are anxious, intense, quiet, talkative, eccentric, socially awkward, fidgety, or simply a little different.

Many of us have learned how to make ourselves easier for others to digest, and I don’t want anyone feeling the need to do that in my chair.

No reading the room, no adjusting your story, and no wondering whether something about your life - or the way you present and behave - will be received poorly.

You can show up exactly as you are and know it will be met with respect.

A selfie my beautiful patient sent me. She has trusted me with her care for over a year now.

Seeing my patients connected to their reflection is one of the quiet rewards of this work.

Thank you for the trust, and for allowing me to share this moment on my page.

If you’re curious about what thoughtful, practitioner-led aesthetic care could look like for you, you’re welcome to book a video or in-person consultation to explore your options.

If you’re wanting to lift your brows, you must have some movement in your forehead.

All the time patients say they want to lift their brows and ‘freeze’ their forehead. I’m here to tell you, that unfortunately you can’t have your cake and eat it too!

Our brows can only lift if our forehead is able to pull them up. If you want absolute zero forehead movement, your brows are going to have to stay where they are.

Understanding of how your facial muscles interact is essential knowledge for your practitioner to possess - not only so they can provide you the result you’re seeking, but so they don’t waste your time and money performing treatments that can’t actually work on you.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this video!

If you’ve ever lost a deposit because something outside your control happened, you know how frustrating that feels.

Shift workers, parents of young kids, people managing unpredictable health, energy or schedules - my memberships were thought of with these people in mind. One of the key perks is the ability to cancel or reschedule last minute without penalty. It creates breathing room for real life.

Members do not pay per-appointment deposits. Your membership fee is processed weekly, fortnightly or monthly, and that amount returns to your account as credit to use on future treatments.

There are three tiers depending on your needs, each including:
• Account credit equal to your membership payment
• Priority booking access during busy periods
• Retail product discounts (tier dependent)
• Product samples
• A complimentary birthday upgrade
And other perks

Memberships are structured to support budgeting. Many patients prefer spreading their treatment investment across the year, rather than paying larger amounts at once.

If flexibility is important to you, this model may suit you better than booking casually and risking forfeited deposits.

You can view the full breakdown of tiers in my previous post. If you have specific questions, send me a message and I’ll walk you through whether it’s appropriate for you.

If you’re someone who already comes in or purchases my retail product regularly, this might make things easier.

I’ve created NDI Memberships for clients who prefer to spread their treatment investment out over time, rather than thinking about it in larger lump sums.

Each tier is broken down into weekly, fortnightly or monthly payments and provides monthly in-clinic credit, whilst receiving a few additional inclusions as a thank you for your ongoing trust in my care.

GOLD- $350/month
$350 monthly in-clinic credit
10% off retail

SILVER - $200/month
$200 monthly in-clinic credit
5% off retail

BRONZE - $100/month
$100 monthly in-clinic credit

Across all tiers:
• 1 complimentary pamper treatment per fully paid month (face, neck or hands)
• Product samples
• Appointment flexibility, including exemption from late cancellations
• 1 birthday treatment upgrade

Credit accumulates and does not expire.
All services remain subject to clinical assessment and suitability. Membership does not guarantee a specific treatment.

Payment processing fees apply and are outlined in the Full Terms & Conditions, which are available on my website.

If you’re unsure which tier makes sense for you, we can discuss it during your next in person or video consultation.

Attention brides:

If you’re considering aesthetic treatment before your wedding, timing is more complex than most people realise.

Different treatments operate on different biological timelines. Some require trial before you know whether they suit you. Others need staged appointments and months of building before visible change occurs. Many involve recovery that cannot be predicted to the exact day.

Strategic event preparation means allowing enough time for results to develop, and enough margin for your body to respond in its own way.

If you’re planning ahead, book an in-person or virtual consultation with me via the link in my bio, to discuss your options and map out an appropriate timeline.

2026 has clarified something for me.

I don’t just want to be technically excellent in this industry. I want my business to feel aligned.

What this actually means in practice is acknowledging not everyone walks into a cosmetic consultation with the same motivations, expectations, or relationship to their appearance.

For some people, aesthetic decisions are straightforward. For others - particularly those neurodivergent, q***r, navigating stigma, or working in unconventional roles - the experience can be layered.

There can be:
• heightened self-awareness
• long histories of masking
• complex relationships with visibility and self
• fear of judgement
• discomfort in service-based spaces
• uncertainty whether a desire is internally driven or socially conditioned

That requires a different kind of consultation.
It requires patience and nuance. It requires the ability to sit in complexity without rushing to a solution, or suggesting a “right” way to present.

In my practice, assessment isn’t just anatomical. It’s contextual.

We can explore your motivations carefully.
We can differentiate your preferences from external pressures.
We can talk about identity and expression, not just symmetry or proportion.

Sometimes goals are about alignment, rather than perfecting.

Sometimes they contradict what is generally acceptable at a societal level.

My conduct in clinic is intentionally structured to support people whose internal experience of the world is not always simple or linear.

If this message resonates, I would love to meet you or have a chat 🤍
