MEET THE JAMELE GIRLS

Jamele Skincare was lovingly shaped by the care and dedication of Pat and Shelley Foster. Since 1986, Pat brought warmth, wisdom and a deep belief in holistic skincare to Jamele. She built a loyal community that still forms the heart of the clinic today. Her daughter Shelley continued in her mother’s footsteps, guiding Jamele with the same thoughtful approach and quiet strength

Their influence remains woven into everything we do. Now, in 2025, with Aanya at the helm after six years as part of the Jamele team, we are proud to carry their legacy forward with care and gratitude as we look towards the future

OWNER & SKINCARE THERAPIST

Aanya has been a beauty therapist for 14 years. She trained in Wellington and has an ITEC International Diploma in Beauty Therapy. She has worked in various spas and clinics throughout Wellington, Waikato and the Bay of Plenty and owned her own clinic before joining the Jamele team in early 2019

Her favourite treatments to do are facials and CIT treatments, which she has seen amazing results from both for her client’s and her own skin

Aanya enjoys quality time with family and friends, reading and being creative when the opportunity arises

“I love working with my clients to help them achieve their skin goals. My favourite skincare range is Environ. It is by far the best anti-ageing range with loads of options for customising skincare and salon treatments to individual clients”

CLINIC MANAGER & SKINCARE THERAPIST

Kathryn graduated from the New Zealand Institute of Electrolysis and Beauty Therapy 13 years ago and has worked in several clinics in Palmerston North and Tauranga. She also has experience as a clinic manager 

Kathryn loves the science behind the Environ and Dermaviduals product ranges. She enjoys performing CIT, peels and dermaplaning. She also loves electrolysis

She lives in Tauranga with her husband, her two stepdaughters and her nine year old son. Outside of work, you’ll find her with family – often with her son at a skatepark or watching him play soccer!

“I love getting good results for my clients.  What drives me as a therapist is seeing clients feeling happy and confident with the results they are getting with their skin”

MAKEUP ARTIST, BROW SPECIALIST & SKINCARE THERAPIST

Influenced by a friend Kylie decided to study beauty therapy at Wintec when she was 16 years old. 20 years later Kylie still loves working in the industry and recently joined the Jamele team where she fit in instantly

Kylie specialises in makeup and brow treatments and she has introduced Noemi Hybrid Brow Dye to Jamele. This product not only colours the hair and creates a beautiful stain on the skin but it contains nourishing ingredients which will help strengthen and protect the hair and stimulate its growth

Due to experiencing amazing results with her own skin, Kylie loves working with and recommending the Environ skincare range. She knows she can trust Environ to help in achieving genuine results for her clients

Kylie enjoys the simple pleasures in life and loves going for bike rides with her partner and five children

“I find it really rewarding boosting confidence, alleviating insecurities, and developing meaningful connections with my clients”

SKINCARE THERAPIST

Originally from South Africa, Kat moved to New Zealand in 2015. She was drawn to beauty therapy by her desire to help people feel good about themselves and their appearance. She finds it fulfilling to make others feel special and valued

Prior to discovering beauty therapy, Kat struggled with very sensitive, dry skin and congestion. As a result her favourite product range is Janesce - she loves how active and skin-repairing the range is, leaving the skin glowing

Kat’s favourite treatments are massage and electrolysis, as she enjoys helping clients feel relaxed and building their confidence

Outside of work, Kat enjoys exploring new hobbies and interests

“As a child, I would give "facials" to my classmates using cucumbers and my Mother's makeup remover, which inspired me to pursue a career in beauty therapy”
