Meet Michelle Vasiliou: visionary and wellness expert
OUR FOUNDER AND CEO
Michelle Vasiliou is the founder of YOGA Skincare Australia and brings over two decades of spa and wellness expertise to the brand. She also founded SkinSpirit Day Spa, a prestigious, multi-award-winning Spa in Brisbane, Australia. Driven by her passion for holistic well-being and self-care, and supported by her qualifications and background in Beauty Therapy, Remedial Massage, and completion of her Reiki Masters, Michelle was inspired to create her signature skincare collection, YOGA Skincare®, providing purposeful, effective skincare solutions.
Drawing from her extensive knowledge of spa and wellness practices, as well as her deep spiritual connection, Michelle was inspired to merge wisdom gained over the years with her profound understanding of the mind-body connection, Michelle sought to provide products that could holistically enhance one's well-being while delivering outstanding results. Even from a young age, Michelle possessed a natural intuitive ability and profound understanding of the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. She recognised the pivotal role conscious self-care plays in fostering presence and embracing overall well-being. This insight serves as the foundation of YOGA Skincare's philosophy.
During her time at SkinSpirit Day Spa, collaborating with leading skincare and wellness brands, Michelle recognized a gap in the market for clean beauty products that deliver exceptional results and are ethically produced in Australia with pure ingredients. Understanding the profound impact of energy on product quality, she conceived YOGA Skincare, a Bioceutical collection focused on results. After more than 5 years of dedicated research and development, Michelle meticulously crafted YOGA Skincare, blending science-backed ingredients and nourishing plant extracts to enhance skin health. Going above and beyond, she also infuses each product with Reiki energy, amplifying the inherent qualities of the ingredients to provide high vibrational skincare.
As SkinSpirit Day Spa commemorates its 21st anniversary, it stands as a testament to Michelle's dedication and expertise. The day spa has garnered numerous accolades and has become fondly known for the connection it brings for their customers through wellness treatments.
Michelle believes that YOGA is a way of life and a state of mind, and that "wellness is a state of being". She says that "through conscious self-care you can create wellbeing momentum and an improved and uplifted energy to positively impact yourself and those around you."
YOGA Skincare uniquely blends the essence of the spa with spiritual practice and a true focus on wellbeing, elevating your skincare and wellness routine so you can discover a new sense of self.
