Born and raised in beautiful Papamoa, Dani’s journey in the beauty and wellness industry demonstrates a commitment to excellence in everything she does.
In 2010, Dani ventured to Melbourne to pursue her passion for beauty therapy, initially drawn to makeup but discovering a love for massage and facials along the way. After completing her studies, Dani embarked on an exciting chapter at a luxury spa resort in the coastal setting of Margaret River, Western Australia.
Dani’s sense of adventure led her to travel across America and the UK, where she worked in the world of superyachts. Returning to New Zealand in 2019 to start a family, Dani turned her attention back to beauty and skin and established her own practice from home.
Through her return to the industry, Dani found an increased interest in the intricacies of skincare and the transformative power of advanced dermal therapies. At the heart of Dani’s approach is a commitment to continuous growth, focussing on professional development opportunities.
The move to join the team with Dermal Glow has provided her with a unique opportunity to experience the world of advanced laser and skincare that wasn’t previously achievable. With her sights set on enhancing her skills and knowledge, she is excited to continue her passion for skincare whilst maintaining balance with her young family.
What’s your favourite skin condition to treat and why?
Right now, I’m passionate about premature aging because that’s what I’m going through!!
Almost hitting 40, and I’m seeing my skin decline and the damage that has been done all those years ago is now coming out. Were all busy and sometimes we don’t have time for that 20-step routine to get results, that’s why I’m passionate about helping others like myself find realistic, manageable and effective solutions that provide real results.
What inspires you?
As a kid, I struggled with allergies which came out in my skin. I grew up with naturopathy close to home, and having all the natural potions internally has taught me that they are more powerful than just using topical treatments on their own (obviously depending on skin conditions). By treating your body from the inside out (where our skin is made) is crucial to how our skin shows how it’s feeling.
In my 5 short years of being a parent, my kids have also been through so much with their skin – having eczema, fungal, molluscum, allergies, infections and so on.
What product could you not live without?
IsClinical Pro-heal. This is THE HERO product and helps my skin in so many ways. Extra protection from the sun, helping keep my pigment under control, redness, pore size, hydration, breakouts… you name it!! This is the one!!
And of course, I’ll jump on the SPF bandwagon too as it’s a MUST in my eyes. I’m a NEW fan of the SPF ISClinical tinted SPF40 Beige – giving you a glow and a slight colour correction to even out skin tone.
What’s your WHY?
The life-changing success stories are my why. Seeing the tears of happiness on clients’ faces when I see them down the track after treatment. It’s not just about “looking good”, it’s so much deeper than that, it’s improved self-confidence, feeling healthy, and feeling happy.
That’s why I’m passionate about educating people to help with whatever conditions they are going through – whether it’s pigmentation, antiaging, congestion, scaring etc.
I have had clients where it has taken over their lives and they haven’t been able to leave their houses because of this. I feel so passionate about it and it brings me so much happiness to be able to genuinely help/guide you with your journey… to me – it CAN be life-changing!
