About — Odyssey for Skin & Health

Get to know me…

I’m Nicole and I’m delighted to introduce myself to you. My background in the health and fitness, beauty, and holistic wellness industries spans over 25 years now. I’m passionate about educating my clients about skin care, its structure and function and how embracing an holistic approach across health and wellness can improve not only the skin, but energy levels, gut and mental health, sleep and immunity. Sessions are offered individually in a professional clinic setting with facial and body treatments, or through face-to-face or online virtual consultations.
Throughout my career I have studied complementary therapies such as Reiki and Hands on Healing, Aromatherapy, Naturopathy and Homeopathy, Nutrition and supplementation plus the effects of these on gut health and mental health, so this gives me the ability to take an overall holistic approach to beauty, health and wellness in my consultations and diagnostic sessions.
As a member of the New Zealand Association of Registered Beauty Professionals (NZARP) I am associated with a national body which holds itself and its members to a high standard of excellence so you know you are in safe hands. Studying in Auckland, my qualifications are recognised worldwide with the prestigious Vienna based CIDESCO and British Confederation of Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology plus British ITEC qualifications in Beauty therapy, Advanced Skin Diagnosis and Dermal Therapies, Body treatments, Electrolysis and Aromatherapy. Through the Australasian College of Herbal Studies, I studied complementary therapies, nutrition and supplementation which form the major foundation for any health and wellness and skin improvement protocols.

“It’s so crucial to understand the skin and the way it functions and how this is connected to other body systems,” Nicole says. “That’s the importance of my holistic approach and complementary therapies alongside scientifically proven clinic treatments to achieve results.”

Passing on her knowledge for holistic health and wellness, skin care, structure and function is her passion whether individually in the professional clinic setting with treatments and through face to face or online virtual consultations.
