About Our Clinic
Our Journey of Care & Confidence
I'm Shari, my passion for skin health began early. At thirteen, I battled acne and discovered how deeply our skin affects our confidence. After 40 years in nursing, including surgical, medical, oncology, CCU and wound care, I found my way back to aesthetics following breast cancer treatment. That experience reminded me how important it is to feel comfortable in your own skin.
At Embrace Cosmetic Clinic, every treatment is guided by clinical knowledge and genuine care. I hold a Bachelor of Nursing from Charles Darwin University, a Graduate Diploma in Cosmetic Nursing from AACDS Perth, and advanced training through Grayclay Aesthetic School Gold Coast
As a Bundaberg local for more than 20 years, I’m proud to offer evidence-based rejuvenation treatments – from IPL and hair reduction to collagen induction, skin rejuvenation, LED light therapy and more.
