About Me

Hello! I’m Lily,

Founder of HERA Wellness Studio

HERA began in 2017 (formerly Nurture & Nourish Skin) while I was completing my Bachelor of Health Science in Nutritional Medicine. My initial focus was helping clients with skin concerns such as acne, eczema, and rosacea through a combination of nutrition and skincare.

The idea for HERA grew from my own skin journey over 10 years ago. As a beauty therapist working in a day spa, I struggled with severe acne, which became the catalyst for change. I immersed myself in studying nutrition, skincare ingredients, and holistic approaches to support the skin from the inside out. During my final years of study, I focused on acne research, exploring the gut-skin-brain connection, the effects of antibiotics and probiotics, and practical strategies to heal skin both internally and externally.

It was during this time that I discovered acupuncture. Visiting a student clinic, I was fascinated by how much could be understood about my health from a few simple observations, like my tongue and pulse. This curiosity led me to cosmetic acupuncture, offering a safe, natural alternative to enhancing the skin. I soon enrolled in acupuncture studies and dedicated the next few years to deepening my expertise.

Along the way, I have been privileged to work with female-owned and nationally-recognised organic day spas, a leading Australian aromatherapy company, highly sought-after holistic facialists, and skilled women’s health and fertility acupuncturists.

In 2021, I took the leap to turn HERA into my full-time business, pivoting towards holistic facials, skin health, and women’s wellness. After completing my acupuncture degree in 2023, I rebranded to HERA Wellness Studio, inspired by the Greek goddess Hera, protector of women, families, and childbirth—reflecting my mission to support women through all seasons of life.

Today, HERA embodies holistic skin therapies, women’s health, cosmetic acupuncture, and personalised care. Our focus is on honouring your natural radiance, restoring equilibrium, and providing a nurturing, supportive space for women. I look forward to welcoming you and holding space for your wellness journey soon.
