Our Story
O2 Vitality Wellness Spa Institute was born from a deep curiosity and passion for holistic healing and continuous learning. My journey into lymphatic drainage began unexpectedly during a two-day product training workshop in Queenstown. What I thought would be a simple introduction opened my eyes to the powerful systemic effects of this treatment—and how little I truly knew.
That spark led me to Melbourne, where I completed further study and began to understand the deeper layers of body therapy and wellness. With 29 years of experience in Beauty Therapy—as a business owner and educator—I realized there was a gap in the industry for training that truly combines technical skill with holistic, results-driven care.
O2 Vitality was created to fill that gap: to support other passionate professionals who want to grow, evolve, and offer more to their clients. Whether it’s through hands-on training, advanced techniques, or tailored coaching, I’m here to help you thrive in this beautiful industry.
