Meet Our Team

Thank you for visiting our site.  I’m very proud of our new look and hope you gain plenty of informative advice and tips from the industry.  When I met Marie Gai Oberlander (in 2010) I knew I had big shoes to fill! Our clients are a reflection of the genuine warmth and care Marie Gai and her team have always extended to clients and it is my mission to continue this tradition; to offer professional beauty treatments in a comfortable, ‘home like’ environment – the Marie Gai Way – no pretention just genuine care and value. I feel privileged to have such a talented team . The team at Marie Gai can proudly say they specialise in skin care treatments, they believe in providing the best solutions to make the most of your skin that fits in with your lifestyle and budget.  Other specialties include creating beautiful defined eyebrows – without a ridiculous price tag!

I started as an apprentice with Marie Gai in 1995 where I was introduced to the world of Guinot and underwent extensive training for their products and treatments.  For seven years I worked closely with Marie Gai and learned a variety of salon treatments and services from a true professional.

In 2003, I moved to the Gold Coast with my husband (and three dogs and one cat!), where I continued to work in the beauty industry.  I worked with Faye Reilly (national trainer for permanent make up) in her salon, Heaven Sent (Best Salon on Gold Coast).  During my time with Faye I learned two of my favourite treatments, eyelash extensions and electrolysis.

Six years later I returned to work in the Best Salon in Sydney – Marie Gai Beauty Therapy!  I am thrilled to have reconnected with all my beautiful clients and friends.

I’ve worked at Marie Gai Beauty Therapy for 13 years. I started as an apprentice with Marie Gai which I thoroughly enjoyed. I later married and had children but always continued work as a therapist.

Four children later (and a very hectic schedule!) I still love coming to work. The relaxing and tranquil atmosphere of the salon is the perfect escape from everyday life.

I completed my Diploma of Beauty Therapy at The Australian Institute of Applied Sciences in Brisbane. During my first year of study (2007) I was fortunate to gain employment with Pure Indulgence, a highly regarded beauty salon in Brisbane where I worked for four years before recently moving to Sydney.

Working as a therapist with Pure Indulgence allowed me to discover that your skin is the mirror of your general well being. Hence, I decided to further my studies by commencing an Advanced Diploma of Naturopathy, Advanced Diploma of Nutritional Medicine and an Advanced Diploma of Western Herbal Medicine. I completed these Diplomas in December 2010.

Motivating and helping clients achieve their beauty and health expectations is my passion. I am looking forward to extending my knowledge and continuing my career with the Marie Gai team.
