Missing the creative buzz, Julie returned to her love of art and makeup by training as a makeup artist for film and TV. She worked in theatre, before moving into tv and feature films, where she worked on a number of high profile productions with A-list stars and directors.
After having her family, she returned to Aesthetics and is now excited about the prospect of expanding Ocean wood Aesthetics into a successful and innovative clinic.
Amber Heathcote - Aesthetician
Amber has over ten years of experience in the beauty industry. Her passion for tackling skin concerns and advanced facials started when she was studying beauty therapy in college, at a time when she was experiencing persistent hormonal acne. Advanced facials were the only thing that helped her acne and since then, Amber has always been interested in the science behind skincare and how much of a positive impact it can have on someone’s life.
Amber is trained in a variety of aesthetic treatments including facials, LED Light Therapy, peels and Microneedling and brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to the team.
In her spare time, Amber loves to travel and explore new places. When she’s not jet-setting, she enjoys staying active in the gym and paddle boarding.
