Skin Elevation 101
Six months of personalised skin education and Inner Peace Facials
A full reset combining personalised skincare guidance, Inner Peace Facials, and soul-nourishing self-care, so you can show up as your favourite self every single day.
Products used
I work exclusively with high-performing, clean formulations from Australian and New Zealand, women-owned companies, chosen for their integrity, transparency, and visible results.
Coming to the Cocoon
I designed the Cocoon as the perfect balance between a commercial clinic and a home-based salon. A gorgeous, professionally fitted setting with the comfort, ease, care and time-spaciousness that only a home-based space can offer. Every decision was thought through, from the pathway that you'll physically take in the space, to never using anything artificially fragranced, the lighting… everything was a choice. Many clients say it feels like time stops for the duration of their appointment. As a bonus, the street is peaceful, quieter than town, and there is always free parking available on the road.
Your six-month elevation
Everything is built around your skin, your life, and your values, so what you learn stays with you long after the sessions end.

The journey
Six sessions across six months
Intentionally spaced to give your skin time to adjust, integrate, and transform
-
Session 1, Week 1
Designing your routine and your first Inner Peace Facial. We start with a thorough skin analysis, build the foundation of your personalised routine, I walk you through how things work and why, and then you get to experience your marshmallow time on Gladys (my treatment bed).
-
Session 2, Week 5
This is where I walk you through your skin, its type, its conditions, everything. We keep building your skincare routine based on where your skin is at and wrap up with your second Inner Peace Facial.
-
Session 3, Week 9
Face massage, skincare tools, and your third Inner Peace Facial. We introduce techniques and tools that support your routine at home, so you finally know what's a gimmick and what isn't.
-
Session 4, Week 13
Seasonal targeted skincare and your fourth Inner Peace Facial. We look at how the season is affecting your skin and make any adjustments needed to keep your skin happy and comfy.
-
Session 5, Week 17
Progress and maintenance and your fifth Inner Peace Facial. We celebrate how far your skin has come and start building your long-term maintenance strategy.
-
Session 6, Week 21
Your final Inner Peace Facial and a full progress review. You leave with a complete, confident understanding of your skin and a routine that's entirely yours.
Testimonials
“Working with Amélie has been worth every penny. I've been going for a few months now, my skin is considerably better. I'm blown away. I'm enjoying my new routines with the thoughtfully chosen products Amélie has recommended to me. And my nervous system feels relaxed and nourished after each Inner Peace Facial. Amélie is kind, generous, open, honest, and just a delight to be around. I'm just incredibly grateful for the journey that I'm on with Amélie. I highly recommend her and her Cocoon.”
Excellent, thorough and professional experience with Amelie. I appreciated Amelie’s thorough explanations and instruction and her tailor made approach to skincare. I learned new ways to care for my skin and gained an understanding of various skincare products. Highly recommended.
Rose As soon as I walk through the door, the atmosphere and energy show me that I need to drop my mum, wife, or professional hat and just be me. Amélie, with her magician's fingers, transforms each treatment into an almost therapeutic experience. This treatment is not only good for the skin, but also for the soul and spirit. The only negative point in all this? You never want it to end.

Frequently asked questions
Is every session with Amélie?
Yes. I work alone, so any service you book through me will be with me personally.
Are prices GST included?
Yes, prices are GST included, unless otherwise specified.
I suffer from allergies, can I still book?
Yes, you can. At the beginning of your appointment, I will ask about any potential allergies. I'll do my absolute best to review products and ingredients carefully and use only what's safe for you. If you'd prefer to do a patch test first, send me an email via the contact form or text/DM on Instagram and we'll book a time for you to come in and do just that.
My products contain ingredients on your No-go list, do I need to throw them out?
No. Use them up and replace them with a clean beauty option when they're finished. Over-consumption is a huge environmental issue, so we can all do our bit to minimise it. That said, if you're going through perimenopause or hormone therapy, it's worth having a conversation with your GP about your concerns.
Is there a toilet I can use?
Yes, there's a customer toilet available.
What happens if I arrive more than 15 minutes late?
Please let me know via text as soon as you can, and please drive safe, don't text and drive. If you arrive more than 15 minutes after your appointment start time, I may need to cancel the service or, at my discretion, carry out what we can in the time remaining. If you're a mum of children under 10, let me know when you book. I know how hectic getting out the door can be and I do my best to avoid back-to-back appointments so nothing gets cut short for you.
Can Amélie cancel my appointment?
Yes. If something comes up on my end, I'll notify you in writing and provide a full refund of any amounts you've paid for that service, although in 5 years of business, this has never happened yet.
Can my baby or toddler come with me to my appointment?
The Cocoon is a space for you to fully switch off, so appointments are best enjoyed child-free. If that's tricky, reach out and we'll find a time that works.
How do I book?
Appointments can be booked online with at least 24 hours' notice and up to 3 months in advance.
Is a deposit required to secure my booking?
Yes. A 50% non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking, paid by credit or debit card. The remaining balance is charged following your appointment.
What payment methods are accepted?
Payments are made by credit or debit card via Stripe-supported platforms, or by a previously agreed arrangement.
Is my deposit refundable?
No. The 50% deposit is non-refundable in all circumstances.
I need to cancel my appointment. What do I do?
Please contact me as soon as possible. Here's what applies depending on your timing: - 72 hours or more before your appointment: I'll do my best to reschedule you and transfer your deposit to the new booking. No refund of the deposit is available. - Within 72 hours of your appointment: The full price of the service is charged. No refund is available. - No-show: The full price of the service is charged. No refund is available. I'm human and I do my best to be accommodating where I can, but the earlier you reach out, the more options we have.
Why is the cancellation window 72 hours?
I'm a solopreneur and all services are by appointment only. 72 hours gives me a chance to reach out to clients on my waitlist to try to fill the gap left by a cancellation.
I need to reschedule. What do I do?
Life happens. Please give me at least 72 hours' notice to reschedule. You can reschedule up to 2 times, after which the booking will be cancelled with no refund of the deposit. Rescheduled bookings are subject to availability. If you need to reschedule because you can't find childcare but your child is well, send me a text and I'll see how I can help. I know how hard it is as a mum to carve out time for yourself.
What if Amélie needs to reschedule?
If I need to move your appointment to another date and that date doesn't work for you, you can cancel in writing and I'll provide a full refund of any amounts paid. If you accept the new date, no refund applies.
Is the table heated?
Yes. There's a heating blanket on the table and I warm it to a medium setting before each session. Once you're settled, I'll check that you're comfortable. If you feel cold or too warm at any point, please let me know, you can't fully relax if your body temperature isn't right, and I promise I won't be offended.
Is the room heated?
Yes. There's a heater in the room. I feel the cold a lot, so it'll usually be warm in there.
Is there a changing room?
Yes. I provide a wrap-around spa towel with snaps and slippers. Everything is washed after each client.
Where is The Cocoon?
In Hurdon, New Plymouth. The exact address is sent to you upon booking.
What should I expect when I arrive?
I'll be ready for you. Come in, take a breath, and let the day wait outside for a bit. If it's your first visit, give yourself an extra few minutes to find parking and get settled.
Is parking available?
Yes, there is parking available on the street. Parking is free and there are always spaces available.
Is the space accessible?
Please see the wheelchair accessibility question in the General section above. If you have any access requirements, reach out before booking so we can figure out the best way to make it work for you.
