MEET THE TEAM
Chrissie Dawkins
Business Owner/Nurse
I started my career as a Registered Nurse contracting in many different areas of the health sector, including GP practice nursing and palliative care. I have previously owned a successful Appearance Medicine and Beauty Therapy clinic in Auckland.
During my time within the industry, I have gained a strong background in facial assessment and administering Botulinumtoxin-A and Dermal Fillers, as well as performing collagen induction skin corrective therapies, such as Dermal Needling and Fractional CO2 Laser. I am also experienced in spider vein laser, hair removal and photo rejuvenation.
I created TruYou with the vision of providing specialised treatments and expert care, with an honest approach. Our collaboration means that we can offer these services in locations convenient to you.
Mandy Powley
Nurse
I came to nursing later in life, bringing many life skills to my role as a registered nurse.
I am passionate about people and holistic care, and listening to what people have to share regarding their needs and health.
My nursing has encompassed working in the hospital in various roles and specialist palliative care.
I enjoy a challenge and growing as a professional which is why I am excited to join the team at TruYou. I am looking forward to providing clients with the benefits of the Wellness Infusion Therapy and extending my skills within this area.
I believe beauty comes from within and the services that are available through TruYou enhances what we feel inside and allows it to shine outwardly reflecting how we see ourselves.
