“I am intrinsically interested in the preservation of our natural health and wellbeing as much as we can – including the world around us, politically and personally.
Growing up in New Zealand, I learnt early on that we needed to take care of our external environment and one another, as well as ourselves individually. I wanted to offer a space that was nurturing, inclusive and supportive, with professional services, Practitioner Only supplements and high quality organic skincare for people to use. Implicitly I wanted to ensure that there was no addition to the toxic overload on our bodies – as I saw happening – partly through the use of pesticides in growing our fruit and vegetables, and also the synthetic hormones used in farming animals. Importantly, the synthetic chemicals in beauty and skincare products bothered me in particular, as we naturally absorb much of what goes on and in our bodies, and this has been the birthing of Sage Beauty, a deep passion for lessening synthetic chemical absorption and improving our long term health. Notwithstanding, this has led to my passion for women coming off synthetic hormones and rediscovering their innate connection to their bodies, their cycles and their fertility.
So, I opened Sage Beauty in 2006 as I decided that I had this opportunity to make a much bigger statement and intention making a difference to people who come in here – with the way we run the business in consideration to landfill and the impact of our footprint on the environment, the multiple professional skills we all have, the philosophy, ideas and knowledge that our practitioners share, and within the ethical products and clinical treatments that we offer. We are always learning and we learn a lot from our clients as well – every day.
I have been practicing as Remedial Massage Therapist and Natural Therapist for over 30 years in Bondi, starting my clinical practice in 1993.
I later embraced Dr Hauschka skincare and treatments, Sharon McGlinchey of MV Skintherapy’s philosophy and aromatherapy based skincare, and Eminence organic skincare. All of the owners share a devotion to the communal wellbeing of the planet and people on it. Their products are all steeped in varying philosophies: Homoeopathic, Herbal and Aromatherapy.
Everything applied to the skin absorbs into the bloodstream via the dermis and can nourish us by giving us the benefits of their ingredients which then affect our whole body slowly and gently, as a tonic, in a strengthening healing way over time. All of our skincare products are organic and biodynamic and help us strengthen our systems and health in this way.
As a Herbalist I am passionate about and specialise in helping women and adolescents to have pain free menstrual cycles. I treat PMT symptoms, PMDD, endometriosis and acne/skin conditions and I educate women about the importance of a healthy fertile cycle in relation to their long term and overall health. I also treat other conditions, and love to help people re-balance, support their immune systems with tonics for winter colds and flu’s, and for lung conditions such as asthma.
As a Homoeopath, I enjoy treating children and helping parents understand how to be pro-active in learning about remedies and treating their children with confidence themselves.
I am a Remedial and Pregnancy Massage Therapist. I enjoy my profession deeply. In addition to clinical knowledge, connection and compassion are key, and while we all laugh often, we also share a tear when things are tough, or touching.
I also practice Past Life Hypnotherapy, which is a fascinating way to understand where we have been, how to unravel and understand psychological/emotional blocks and also understand and improve relationships, not to mention to explore the minds’ potential whilst in a Theta state. This is a 3 hour treatment and is a vivid and conscious experience, you do not go to sleep under a hypnotic spell! Enquiries are always welcome. I offer this service by appointment.
As a Holistic Beauty Therapist, I love giving our facial treatments to my clients and learning about how their skin responds and heals. We treat Rosacea with the LED light as well as Acne and can combine specialty facials with the LED to get a wonderful and quick result for you.
I also offer lash lifts, brow shaping and tinting and creating a look to enhance natural features, and we colour mix and match perfectly.
We have a very passionate team, we share our skills with one another and everyone who walks in here, and we also know there’s a little bit of magic in our beautiful little jewel at Sage – and we love it! We look forward to your visit.
