Flora of Flora's Aesthetics

Hi, I’m Flora

Welcome to my treasured, special space.

Cosmetic nursing is more than just work to me, it is an artistic outlet. Before delving into the world of Aesthetics, I experienced both the public and private sectors of the New Zealand health system, working as a Registered Nurse in the Emergency Department of Dunedin Hospital, and then more on the surgical side of nursing, at Mercy Hospital.

I worked in the clinical side of nursing for three years, nursing in the Emergency Department through the Covid Pandemic taught me a lot and I had to grow up very quickly as a new graduate nurse working through this unknown stage. After three years, I was ready for a change.

I had always shown an interest in makeup artistry and beauty, but did not realise I could combine this with my clinical nursing skills. In 2022 I applied for my first Cosmetic Nursing job, and was accepted into the role, without knowing much about what I was getting into. This is where my journey in the industry began.

I worked and trained with one of the biggest injectable companies in New Zealand, where I was able to develop my skills and learn what injecting really meant to me, and what I wanted to provide within the industry. I fell in love with the role, and what I could provide to my patients. The positive impact that I could make to peoples lives became addictive, injecting became more than just the job itself, I became invested in how I could make my patients feel in their personal lives.

I worked with this company for two years, contracting across Southland and Queenstown clinics. However after two years of a lot of travelling, it was time for me to make the move back home, to Dunedin. And this is how my space was born. I wanted to create a space to be safe, welcoming, non-judgemental, and to make those inside it feel good.

My ethos is to create an individualised experience for each of my patients, for the most confident version of themselves. I believe in treating the face, and the person as a whole, to create the highest quality outcome, that remains undetectable.
