Our Therapists
All our therapists have received Post-Graduate training through Education Specialists from Dermalogica NZ and through Symposiums attended where they can learn from education specialists from the world’s leading Post-Graduate facility, the International Dermal Institute. Our therapists know skin inside and out which is why we don’t offer a prefabricated selection of services. Instead, we personalize precisely to your skin concerns and needs.

"My journey as a Skin Care Therapist began here at Elizabeth Palmer Skin Care in 1999. I always had a vision of wanting to help people and becoming a Skin Therapist fulfilled this passion. I love being able to bring a smile to a client's face, resolve a concern they have, and confidently provide services knowing I have incredible products and treatments that work and will deliver what is expected. I have now been a Skin Therapist for over 20 years and my passion has only grown stronger for this industry. I now look forward to the future as the owner of Elizabeth Palmer Skin Care (2020) Limited with a wonderful team and loyal clients, both of whom I greatly value."

"I have been lucky enough to have been working with the amazing team Elizabeth Palmer Skin Care since 2014, fresh out of UCOL Wanganui. I really love working using Dermalogica products and being able to achieve next-level results and the ongoing training keeps me up to date and fresh with the knowledge to be able to pass on to our clients. My passion for all things Beauty started many years ago at the age of 7 when my neighbor traveled overseas to study beauty therapy and came home with a massive suitcase full of professional makeup & products, from then I was hooked. My favourite treatments are facials, particularly Acne treatments and electrolysis. I love the feeling of transforming a client's skin right in front of my eyes, seeing their reaction, and improved confidence that gives the client."

"I have been part of the Elizabeth Palmer team for the past 3 years. I started as a UCOL student, working part-time along with my studies up until I graduated end of 2021 where I then started here full time. Helping people is what drove me to beauty therapy whether that is helping them feel more confident or being something they look forward to on a stressful day. My favourite treatments are all facials and brows. I love being able to see a transformation and help resolve my client's concerns."
