Skin Expertise

from a Senior Skin Consultant, Therapist & Founder of Somewhere to Be.

Sarah started her Spa Industry journey in 2010.

Swiftly progressing from trainee to trainer, she’s been stepping into Senior Skin Therapist & National Educator roles for some of Australia’s most sought-after skin studios, luxurious Spa Retreats and luxury skincare brands, ever since.

She’s got a real passion for supporting skin to return to a state of optimal health & luminosity through a combination of tailored facial treatments, topical skincare, internal supplements, supportive lifestyle adjustments and somatic awareness (ie. listening to our body’s messages, including our skin’s condition, from within!)

Sarah’s own experience dealing with acne (yup, even having gone down the Roaccuntane road..) is what initially drew her to this work. But discovering, developing and then deepening the power of touch THROUGH doing this work is what has seen her stay with it for so long and learn so much.

She’s treated skin of all conditions in this time, which has both broadened her in-depth knowledge of the skin and refined her intuitive & holistic approach she takes in treating each individual face she sees.

A multi-faceted approach to optimal skin health & luminosity

When you set aside time for a Skin Consultation Somewhere, expect to receive:

An at-home Skincare Prescription

tailored to your skin’s current condition and your specific skin concerns

this can include:

  • a morning skincare regime

  • an evening skincare routine

  • during the day advice

    *depending on what it is that you do with your days (eg. reapplying SPF)

  • weekly / fortnightly rituals such as masks, self-massage sequences & desquamation support (exfoliation; but by working WITH your skin, rather than against…)

  • a step-by-step plan for you to safely transition from existing skincare products — onto something from Somewhere to Be

  • tools & techniques to either include, or specifically omit, in order to move toward optimal skin health at-home.

An in-studio Treatment Plan

customised to suit your skin, your schedule and your nervous system, long-term

which often entails:

  • a series of Bespoke Facials (especially in the lead-up to big events)

  • some LED Light Therapy

  • and/or Steam & (Gentle) Extractions *without forcing it; we focus on removing only what’s ready

  • stepping onto varying strength professional product, slowly & safely, over time

  • progressing onto our Specialised Facials — OR

  • staying faithful to our trusty Signature Facial for a while, while the skin heals…

  • receiving soulfully intuitive touch, tailored to your nervous system, within whichever treatment you choose.

An Holistic Health Approach

to support skin from within as well as all around; holistic [skin] health

this ranges from:

  • internal supplements

  • ideas to slowly, with simplicity, adjust your lifestyle in support of your skin AND overall health

  • education around how our skin actually functions & what optimal skin health means

  • referrals to our network of highly-recommended Doctors, Dermatologists, Naturopaths & Nutritionists (where needed)

  • to somatic awareness - learning to discern if/when stress is effecting your skin (or other lifestyle factors which in turn influence the skin) & how you can listen to your body’s messages more closely to empower your own journey toward skin / overall vitality.
