At LUSH, science and compassion work hand in hand. Our therapists are highly qualified, continuously educated, and committed to delivering outcomes that help you feel proud of your skin again.
Here, you’re not just another appointment. You’re guided, supported, and understood. This is a space where confidence is nurtured, self-love is encouraged, and every experience is tailored to you.
Our story
When founder Cat Armstrong opened LUSH, her vision was to bring world-class skin expertise to regional Victoria, allowing clients to achieve city-level results without leaving Shepparton.
Since then, LUSH has become a trusted name in clinical aesthetics, known for innovation, integrity, and care that goes far beyond the surface.
Our team has travelled from Barcelona to Los Angeles and Florida, training with the world’s leading skincare brands and introducing breakthrough technologies to our clients.
LUSH has grown into a community built on trust, transformation, and the shared goal of helping you achieve your very best skin.
Meet The Team
Every member of the LUSH team brings exceptional skill, warmth, and experience to each treatment. From our skin therapists to our medical aesthetics specialists, you’ll be cared for by experts who listen, educate, and create plans that fit your lifestyle, goals, and budget.

Chris is a Registered Nurse with more than 14 years of experience in healthcare, having spent a decade working as a Clinical Nurse Specialist in Intensive Care, before continuing in emergency nursing.
Chris’ treatment philosophy is grounded in facial harmony: he seeks to enhance a person’s features in a subtle, natural way, rather than dramatically altering isolated parts. He also prioritises skin health, offering a range of complementary services and professional-grade skincare to support long-term skin confidence.
During consultations, Chris is transparent and clinical: he uses his clinical judgment to recommend what is right for each patient. If a certain treatment isn’t suitable, he’ll explain why and suggest alternatives. Post-treatment, he gives clients direct access to him to answer any questions or address concerns, emphasising patient comfort, safety, and satisfaction.
