Since graduating, she has transformed that passion into one of Australia’s most talked-about skincare success stories.
Nicole credits her country-town upbringing with shaping her work ethic, authenticity and commitment to quality.
“Benalla gave me my foundation,” she said.
“It’s where I learned the importance of community and honesty — values that are now at the core of everything I do with Aura Oil.”
After years of working in the aesthetic beauty and wellness industry, Nicole, a nurse practitioner of 25 years, developed Aura Oil.
It is a multi-benefit skincare product for people who want results without complication.
The formula — a powerful blend of castor oil, argan oil and frankincense — delivers hydration, radiance and skin rejuvenation in one luxurious step.
What began as a small-batch idea has now become a favourite across Australia, loved by those who want their skincare to feel effortless yet effective.
Now based in Townsville, Nicole operates an aesthetic holistic clinic, where she combines advanced skin treatments with a whole-body approach to wellness.
Her work bridges modern science and mindful beauty — offering treatments such as LED therapy, ProCell MD microchanneling, and of course, her signature Aura Oil facial experience.
“I wanted to create something that helps people feel instantly confident,” she said.
“Life is busy — especially for women — and self-care shouldn’t feel like another chore.
“Aura Oil gives you a moment of calm that shows on your skin.”
Nicole’s dedication to sustainability and community has also set her business apart
“Every product is cruelty-free, carefully sourced and created with integrity — a reflection of the same grounded values I grew up with in Benalla,” she said.
“I’ll always have a deep love for my home town.
“Benalla shaped who I am — and I hope that everyone who uses Aura Oil feels a touch of that same warmth, authenticity and glow that comes from the inside out.”
