IPL Laser Operator & Clinic Director

Tracie O'Keefe

Tracie O'Keefe A.P.A.A qualified as an aesthetician in 1973, has been part of many health projects over the years and is currently a member of the Australian Professional Aestheticians Association (Gold Award). She has studied biology and natural medicines at university and is currently the director of the Australian Health and Education Centre (AHEC) in Sydney. Before coming to Australia she worked out of the London Medical Centre in the UK for many years. On arriving in Australia in 2001 she operated her practice from Randwick and at the same time opened the Natural Hair and Beauty Shop in Edgecliff for three years, which was Australia's only cruelty-free and eco-friendly hair and beauty salon. In 2004 she became the director of AHEC, which houses other health-related projects which also includes the skincare clinic. Any operators in the skincare clinic work closely under her supervision.

Tracie is dedicated to working holistically with people to overcome skin conditions, using various modalities of treatments to consider the person as whole. She included the laser clinic at the centre because it fits in perfectly with an integrated approach to helping people improve their appearance and recover from skin conditions in a natural way. She trained on our particular IPL machine under Patrick Holly, Beauty R.M.T., who holds an IPL Technician I to VII, Theory, Practical Applications and Teaching certificate taken under Professor David Wei Huang at the University of Guangzhou in China.

Tracie considers IPL laser light emitted from our machine, in a controlled way for skin conditions, can be considered a naturopathic treatment because it is non-invasive and does not include the use of harsh chemicals.
