About
Katie
Founder and Leading Facialist
Katie’s journey in skincare began nearly 15 years ago in Cork, Ireland, where her fascination with skin health grew into a lifelong calling. Early in her career, she gained hands-on experience while studying, laying the foundation for her work in the industry. She went on to earn internationally recognised CIBTAC and CIDESCO qualifications - two of the highest standards in professional skincare and beauty therapy.
Her early career took her across the globe, from luxury cruise ships to high-end spas in Australia, where she developed a deep understanding of how climate, culture and lifestyle influence the skin. Over the years, she has continued pursuing the highest levels of advanced training and certifications across Europe, refining techniques that blend clinical precision with intuitive, holistic care.
This vision inspired Skin Wise, a five-star skin clinic in the heart of Amsterdam, where science and soul meet. Each treatment combines medical-grade skincare with a whole-body approach, addressing not just the skin’s surface but also the balance and wellbeing that support lasting results.
Katie’s philosophy is simple: when the skin, body and mind are in harmony, true radiance unfolds naturally. Clients leave not only glowing, but grounded, balanced and renewed from within.
Andrea
Massage Therapist
Andrea’s journey as a massage therapist began with a deep curiosity for healing and the desire to truly help others. She travelled to Thailand to study traditional massage techniques, expanding her understanding of the connection between body, mind, and soul. Today, Andrea is known for her intuitive touch and calming presence - helping clients release tension, feel lighter, and reconnect with themselves. Every session with her is more than a massage; it’s a moment of genuine care, balance and transformation.
Andi
Massage Therapist
Andi blends holistic philosophy with traditional, time-honoured techniques. Trained in therapeutic Thai massage at ITM Hand Thai Academy, she has since expanded her expertise to include Japanese Kobido face massage and lymphatic drainage. Her approach combines intuitive, grounded pressure with a gentle, flowing rhythm. Every session is tailored to the individual, supporting physical relief, energetic balance, and deep mental relaxation. Andi is currently studying Traditional Chinese Medicine at Shenzhou University in Amsterdam, enriching her practice with a deeper understanding of the body and its energy systems.
