Meet the Founders – A Mother & Daughter Team Driven by Results & Wellbeing

Botanica was founded by mother and daughter duo, Sue and Sofie, with a shared commitment to delivering evidence-based skin treatments and holistic wellness experiences that support long-term results. 

With more than 16 years in the beauty and wellness industry, Sofie developed her expertise both locally and internationally. Her time working in leading wellness spas in London, Paris and Dubai exposed her to advanced treatment methodologies, progressive skin technologies and integrative wellness practices.

Through this experience, she identified a gap in Melbourne for a clinic that blends clinical-grade skin treatments with holistic therapies in a luxury, results-driven environment. Sofie’s approach is grounded in skin health, education and personalised treatment planning, ensuring clients achieve measurable improvements while feeling supported throughout their journey.

With over 30 years in business, Sue brings strategic direction and a deep understanding of client care to Botanica. Her background ensures that every aspect of the wellness clinic is designed around client experience, safety, education and long-term outcomes. Sue’s focus has always been building a practice that prioritises trust, consistency and meaningful results.

Our Mission – Transformative Wellness for Mind, Body & Skin

When Sue and Sofie established Botanica in 2014, their mission was clear: We believe in providing not just treatments, but transformative experiences that contribute to your overall wellbeing.

Botanica was created to support more than external results. The clinic is built on the understanding that skin health, mental wellbeing, confidence and self-worth are deeply connected. Every treatment is delivered with intention, designed to improve skin function, support stress reduction, enhance confidence and encourage self-care rituals that extend beyond the treatment room.

Botanica is more than a spa. It is a wellness clinic grounded in knowledge, integrity and transformative care, helping individuals feel stronger, more confident and supported in their journey toward healthier skin and overall wellbeing.
