About Me

My interest in the skin started when I was very young, I suffered from eczema and  I couldn’t use water on my skin; I had to use cleansers and moisturiser from a very early age. This got me thinking about skin conditions and how I could empathise with people who have them, so I went to Beauty therapy college in the UK, for 3 years and studied all aspects of Beauty Therapy, this included body therapies, electrolysis and beauty specialist. I loved it and excelled from the start. I graduated with Honours and gained a position setting up a beauty clinic for a Hairdressing salon. I then went on to manage a large beauty Clinic.

I soon got itchy feet and decided at 21 years old, it was time to travel, I applied for a job in Bermuda and after a very rigorous interview process and being told I was too young, I was offered the job.I packed my 2 suit cases and off I went to work in one of the top 10 spas in the world, as listed in lifestyles of the rich and famous.

After several years I set up my own mobile business visiting wealthy Bermudians in their homes and I was called upon by the boutique hotels to give treatments to their VIP customers, these included many movie stars, models, sheiks, the British counsel and I even massaged one of the presidents of the United States!!

After 8 years in Bermuda, I moved to New Zealand to be near my Mum and here I set up my clinic “The Sanctuary”. I sold this when we moved to Dubai for my husband’s work in 2006.Upon our return I set up a boutique clinic in our home in The beautiful Waitakere ranges, where I am now available for exclusive treatments.

Come and try a facial or pedicure or even the sugaring hair removal, you will feel relaxed and rejuvenated once you have experienced my healing touch and you will receive extensive knowledge about your health and how to improve your skin. I use Janesce skin care products, it is with these I have managed to heal my eczema and many other peoples skin conditions, through internal and external treatments. I believe in nurturing and giving back to the skin not using harsh chemicals and abrasives.I am constantly updating my knowledge and am educated in the most up to date information about the skin and natural health.

Testimonials

I just want to say a huge thank you to Julia who has not only helped me with my skin issues but my overall wellbeing. I started seeing Julia in July last year, as I had been suffering with severe cystic acne and hormonal imbalance. I was at a very low point in my life and had reduced confidence and self-esteem. With Julias help and guidance we used a combination of regular facial treatments and nutritional support including supplementation, my skin has never looked better. From a complete diet change to the emotional roller-coaster acne put me through, Julia supported me at each and every step. I have learnt that acne is more than skin deep! I am forever grateful.

The impact on my skin has been amazing, 'laughter' lines have definitely smoothed out, bags under my eyes have decreased and my skin has improved in elasticity and vibrancy. It is literally like a mini face-lift. The skin seems to tighten around my cheek bones and my eyebrows lift.

Kate Hillier-Cook

Julia is a beauty & skin guru who puts 120% into every client. She always inspires me & gives me a great action plan. A treatment with her is guaranteed to relax & rejuvenate you. I feel lucky to have found her!

Annmarie Jensen

I have been seeming Julia for years now. Facials are my favourite, every time you leave you walk out on cloud 9! The results she can achieve in just one facial are simply amazing! Julia puts so much passion and attention into every single treatment you have with her.

Kate McAlpine

I had been going to Julia just for sugaring (which is amazing) but when we started talking about my skin she said she could defiantly help me as I have always found I had breakouts and never really loved my skin. I had always been to an other clinic spending, I don't now how much money and never seeing a difference but within 3 weeks of following Julia's advice on what I should use and monthly facials the difference in my skin is amazing. I get daily comments on how amazing my skin looks. Finally I am over the moon with how my skin is looking and this is just the beginning! Thank you Julia, truly amazing at what you do.

Ginny Gore

My absolute favourite place to go! Julia is just amazing and always makes me feel so pampered and special. You are missing out if you haven't tried one of her facials yet!

Toni Stacey

I have been going to Julia for several years now and I can’t recommend her highly enough. I started seeing her for sugaring, which I find less painful and more effective than waxing, and then I started having facials every few months. She is a real expert at dealing with problem skin and the products she uses are all totally natural. It also helps that she has such a lovely personality and is able to relate to her clients in such a personal way.
