our model of careThe Alliance
"The skin, the gut, the mind, the workplace - these are not separate domains of health. They are expressions of the same underlying biology, each requiring specific expertise and collective intelligence."
The Metaskin® Philosophy encompasses an individual's journey through life, in all areas. We are not designed to live in isolation. Our determinants of health require a community-based, village approach. It crosses into the workspaces we spend so much time in. The home we return to at the end of the day. The body, mind, and spirit that carries us through it all.
The Alliance is a village of values-aligned, evidence-based, and highly experienced professionals, hand-picked to create a new paradigm in healthcare models.
Every member of The Alliance maintains their own independent practice. Referrals are made on clinical merit, always in your best clinical interest.

Dermal Clinician · Enrolled Nurse & Pathology Collector · Dermatoscopist · Melanographer · Educator · Creator of Metaskin®
AHPRA NMW0002687422
SkinRehab and The Dermal Health Alliance were not built from a business plan. They were built from 35 years of clinical pattern recognition, and a refusal to accept that skin health belongs in either a beauty salon or a dermatologist's waiting room. What I have always known, and what Metaskin® makes tangible, is that what surfaces on the skin is a biological record of everything: hormones, gut, stress, life stage, ancestral patterns, and the quiet weight of the things we carry.
This ecosystem was built to honour the things I love most. Clinical practice. Teaching. Pattern recognition. The Metaskin® philosophy and skincare formulations I have spent a career developing. The village of values-aligned practitioners who share my conviction that genuine healthcare requires the whole picture, and the whole person.
I celebrate individuality and sovereignty. In my clients. In my collaborators. In the way I have chosen to practise. Every person who walks through this door deserves a clinician who sees them completely, not just their skin, but the life it is expressing.
