Hi, I'm Kate, a registered nurse with over 20 years of experience across a broad spectrum of healthcare. My path into nursing began at just 15, working in aged care - a foundation that shaped my deep respect for every role within the patient care team. Over my early years I worked as a PSA, PCA, ward clerk, and cleaner, which has given me a unique, holistic perspective on the healthcare environment.
After completing my Bachelor of Nursing Science in 2004, I pursued further studies and now hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Paediatric Critical Care. I spent the majority of my clinical career in the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit at the Royal Children’s Hospital - an incredibly rewarding and high-intensity setting that sharpened my clinical expertise and deepened my understanding of resilience, empathy, and human connection.
More recently, I’ve loved working in my role as a school nurse at Haileybury College. Supporting adolescents in an environment that values proactive health and emotional wellbeing has allowed me to blend clinical care with education, advocacy, and emotional support - helping young people thrive in all aspects of their development.

My passion for aesthetics and wellness led me to begin my path into cosmetic nursing two years ago. With a deep interest in holistic care and the connection between how we feel and how we present ourselves, I’ve since completed multiple courses in wrinkle reduction treatments, PRP/PRF therapy, and microneedling. These modalities have allowed me to combine clinical precision with creativity - helping clients feel more confident in their own skin. I’ve also completed an advanced Health and Wellness Coaching qualification, which has enriched my practice by allowing me to support clients not just physically, but emotionally and mentally. This integrated approach to care is what excites me most - blending science, aesthetics, and wellbeing to empower people to look and feel their best.
