Berwick’s SANA Skin Clinic beauty therapist Karla Jaudzems has taken out the Junior Therapist of the Year award at this year’s Australian Beauty Industry Awards.

Held on Sunday 27 August, about 700 of the country’s most aesthetically clinical, creative, and entrepreneurial minds gathered at The Star in Sydney to celebrate the best achievements within the industry.

Ms Jaudzems was recognised for forming warm and trusting relationships with her clients through a strong focus on skin and body treatments, striving to improve her clients’ self-confidence through helping them to look and feel their best, ultimately heightening their overall sense of wellbeing and positivity.

Long-time MC Will Fennell led the evening as the 36 winners were announced.

SANA Skin Clinic also reached a spot into the finalist ranks in the categories of Australia’s best team of the year, best customer care and Victorian clinic of the year.

SANA Skin Clinic’s Georgia Clements was also named as a finalist running for the junior therapist awards.

Established in 2015, SANA Skin Clinic is a boutique style clinic offering a clean, relaxing, inviting and nurturing atmosphere with a philosophy that general well-being is not only the new currency, but also leads to a more vibrant, healthy appearance, improved confidence and overall better results.

Partnered with dermatological grade skincare prescriptions, the SANA team work on the perfect balance of custom compounded home care and accompanying high end in clinic treatment option along with in clinic naturopathy.

Mocha Group founder and chief executive Linda Woodhead said the Berwick community should be proud of Ms Jaudzems’ achievements.

“Karla is the perfect example of an up and coming industry leader and will make an excellent ambassador for the awards program this year,” she said.

“As with all our 2023 winners she is now looked to as one of the brightest young stars of the beauty industry.”
