ABOUT ME

Welcome to my website. I'm Shona the owner of UBeauty Sanctuary, in Lower Hutt, Wellington. 

I have 27 years experience in the Beauty & Spa Industry. For ten years, my career has taken me working internationally at some of the most prestigious and well-renowned salons and spas in Melbourne, Sydney, and Cairns, Australia. I also worked on a cruise ship, travelling mostly around Europe and the Caribbean. After 11 years overseas, it was time to settle back home in New Zealand.

​

I specialise in advanced skin revision, and pampering treatments. My philosophy is that everyone's needs are different and require an individual approach, and are tailored exclusively to meet your skin's needs. 

While some of us lead such busy lives, having some downtime is important to re-energise. I have a tranquil space for you to relax and unwind, it may be the start of a new journey of self discovery, to a new you! Most of my treatments are hands on and include an element of massage therapy with your treatment, ie; a back, head or foot massage. Following your treatment you leave up-lifted and a sense of calm.

WHAT ARE CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS?​ 

The word "circadian" refers to a 24-hour cycle and describes rhythmic changes in our physiology and our behavior. When these biological rhythms are disrupted or become disordered, they can have adverse effects on our health, appearance, and well-being.​

Circadia's philosophy of skincare is centered on the body's circadian rhythms defending skin from environmental damage during the day, and stimulating internal repair during sleep, which is at the core of our concept.
