Carly
Senior Beauty Therapist | Operations Manager
I've been a beauty therapist for just over 10 years. My journey started in high school, where I enjoyed creating colourful and fun makeup looks for my friends.
This passion led me to study makeup, which extended to skin, beauty services, and massage.
Transforming my clients' skin and giving them more confidence makes my week. Providing any treatment that allows my clients to take a moment to relax away from life's busyness is rewarding.
Taylah
Currently on maternity leave. Back 14th Jan 2026
Skin Therapist
I have been in the beauty industry for 3.5 years. I was drawn to becoming a beauty therapist because I love helping people feel confident in their skin.
My favourite treatment is skin needling because it's stunning for all skin concerns and rejuvenation. Interestingly, it's also my favourite treatment on myself!
Working at Lush is a delight because the team feels like family, and the work environment is simply lovely to be a part of.
Leah
Salon Co-ordinator | Management
Hi, I’m Leah! I’ve been in the beauty industry for 20 years, and my passion for this field has only grown stronger over time. When I first started, my goal was to help people feel good about themselves and enjoy a little pampering. Now, my role has evolved into something even more meaningful, and I truly love every aspect of what I do.
What I love most about Lush Skin and Body is the diversity of my role as Salon Coordinator. I get to work alongside Laura and an incredible team while connecting with our wonderful clients, who make every day so special.
Natalia
Senior Dermal Therapist
Hi, I’m Natalia, and I’ve been in the beauty industry for 15 years. What started as a curiosity about beauty treatments for myself quickly turned into a passion for advanced dermal therapies. I love helping clients with challenging skin concerns and seeing the transformative results.
At Lush Skin and Body, I’m constantly inspired by our innovative treatment menu and the opportunity to keep learning. The team here is amazing, and I’m proud to work in an environment where we all come together to provide our clients with the best possible service. I’m also a huge fan of iS Clinical, with the Warming Honey Cleanser and Active Serum being my go-to for deep cleansing, smoothing, and brightening.
Sharn
Senior Beauty Therapist
I worked as a spa assistant when I was younger, and I loved the atmosphere in the spa. I enjoyed learning about the constantly changing beauty industry.
I am passionate about making people look and feel their best, so whatever your concern is, I love helping my clients achieve their beauty goals. From giving princess-worthy pedicures to shaping brand-new eyebrows, improving your skin, or relieving aching muscles, I love all aspects of beauty.
Caity
Senior Dermal Therapist
I have been interested in beauty since I was a child. I watched my mum getting ready with all her potions. I was in awe of her taking care of herself.
Nearly 11 years ago, I started my beauty journey being mainly in spa treatments and then transitioned into a dermal therapist. I love taking care of my clients' skin and their souls. I can see results and build personal relationships with my clients, all while making them feel nourished from the inside out. I fully believe in approaching my clients wholeheartedly and in a holistic way. I am fully in love with my job!
Holly
Beauty Therapist
Hi, I’m Holly, and I’m in my first year in the beauty industry. Growing up as a dancer surrounded by makeup, tans, and bold lashes and brows, I developed a passion for beauty. I love how treatments can boost confidence and create self-love, which inspired me to start doing my own brows and eventually help my family.
What I love most about working at Lush is the incredible support and opportunities I’ve had as a beginner, surrounded by an amazing team in a beautiful, luxurious space.
Samantha

With 11 years of industry experience, Samantha is a highly skilled beauty therapist with a strong passion for self-care and helping others feel nurtured, confident, and restored. Her journey began from learning to care for her own wellbeing, which naturally evolved into a desire to support others on their own self-care journeys.
Sam specialises in Brow Sculpt & Dye, a treatment she loves for its ability to transform and enhance the face's natural structure. Her daily skincare essentials include Cleansing Complex, Pro-Heal Advance+, and Reparative Moisture Emulsion; products she relies on to maintain healthy, glowing skin.
Sam loves being part of the Lush Skin and Body team. She values the supportive, caring environment Laura fosters and the strong teamwork that enables each therapist to deliver exceptional experiences. Her warm nature and dedication to elevating every client’s wellbeing make her a cherished member of the Lush family.
Chelsea
Beauty & Spa Therapist
Hi, I’m Chelsea, and I’ve been in the beauty industry for almost four years. From a young age, I taught myself beauty treatments, and at 16, I enrolled in a Certificate III in Beauty Services. I loved the course so much that I went on to complete my Diploma in Beauty Therapy. After exploring different roles in the industry, I found Lush, which perfectly aligns with everything I was looking for, and I’m excited to continue growing with the team.
Massage is my favourite treatment. It’s so rewarding to help clients release stress and tension, leaving them feeling relaxed and happier. I’m excited for the future and my continued growth as a therapist here.
Rohini
Beauty Therapist
I’ve always loved all things beauty and self-care, but what really drew me into this industry was being able to help people feel confident and beautiful from the inside out.
My favourite treatments are facials and body massages. There’s something really special about helping someone switch off, relax, and walk out feeling refreshed.
Outside of work, I’m usually in the kitchen baking something sweet, spending time with loved ones, or just enjoying a bit of quiet time. I’m all about good energy, good skin, and helping others feel their best.
Madeleine

Madeleine brings almost four years of experience to the beauty industry, along with a genuine passion for helping clients feel confident, refreshed, and glowing. Her love for all things skin led her to pursue a career as a beauty therapist, where she now specialises in delivering results-driven treatments.
Maddi’s favourite treatments to perform are peels and HydraFacials, thanks to the radiant, healthy glow they provide. She is committed to maintaining her own skin health with essentials including SPF, cleanser, hyaluronic acid, and moisturiser.
