Meet the therapists that treat beyond the skin

At Little Company, we believe your skin is a reflection of your internal and external environment. We offer a focused approach to our body’s largest organ through curated facial therapy beyond product. 

Little Company was established by Stacey Burt over 6 years ago with studios in Cremorne, Victoria and Byron Bay, NSW. Stacey has brought together a well-educated, mindful team of practitioners that treat beyond skin. Our Living Skin therapists have education backgrounds from beauty therapy to dermal science and skin nutrition, undergoing further studies and training in our Living Skin approach – to achieve optimal skin function and integrity through nature’s resources whilst cultivating an energetic space for healing.

Our purpose is to treat the skin as a living organ. We hero nature’s remedies to heal the skin and have created a range of treatments that are guided by our philosophy.

LAUREN SULLIVAN
Living Skin Specialist

She aims to not only deliver a results-driven treatment but also support my client to transcend their thoughts and drift off into a place of stillness where they are at one with their natural rhythm, allowing space for their body to rest, heal and recover.
