Our Team

At Lavender Spa, we take pride in our proficient and dedicated team of therapists, coupled with our unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional service. Our distinctive treatment offerings are crafted through thorough training and strategic investments in cutting-edge technology. This commitment ensures that every spa experience with us is not only rejuvenating but also reflects our dedication to excellence in both skill and service.

Stephanie – Owner

Stephanie’s passion and dedication illuminate the narrative of Lavender Spa. With an impressive 30-year career as a therapist and training and experience acquired both in the UK and New Zealand.

Her wealth of expertise serves as the basis, ensuring that the Lavender Spa journey extends beyond mere skincare to delve into a holistic and enriching well-being experience. Stephanie’s commitment to her craft and global exposure resonates in every aspect of the spa, creating an ambiance of excellence and a commitment to nurturing the mind, body, and spirit.

Chrisie – Supervisor|Therapist

Chrisie’s true passion is helping others find relief from stress and feel their absolute best. Her commitment to client care is unmatched- but when she’s not creating calm and comfort, you’ll likely find her lighting up the dance floor striking a pose and radiating the same vibrant energy she brings to her work every day.

Nitasha – Therapist

Nitasha is a valued part of our team whose passion for skin health shines through in everything she does. As a dedicated and results-focused Therapist, she takes great pride in supporting her clients on their skin journeys — always bringing care, knowledge, and a thoughtful touch to every treatment.

Her attention to detail doesn’t stop at the salon either — whether it’s beautifully crafted birthday cakes or her calming presence with clients, Nitasha’s creativity and warmth are felt in everything she does.

We’re so lucky to have her on our team — and yes, we still count her homemade cake days as a definite highlight!

Annabelle-Therapist

Annabelle is passionate about her work as a beauty therapist, where she gets to connect with new people everyday and help them feel confident, radiant and empowered. She has a love for continuous learning and is always looking for new ways to grow her skills. Outside of work, Annabelle enjoys pampering friends, spending quality time with loved ones, and unwinding with her favourite TV shows.

Jaime – Junior Therapist

Jaime is passionate about the beauty industry because it blends creativity with the power to help others feel great — both inside and out. She’s inspired by the positive, uplifting atmosphere of the salon and finds real joy in the way beauty and self-expression come together to make a lasting impact on her clients. Jaime chose this career to make a meaningful difference, helping people embrace their unique beauty with confidence and care. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time doing the things that keep her inspired and energised — and she brings that same energy and warmth into every treatment she delivers.
