About Us

Delikate Space was born from a love of providing nourishing, soothing and caring beauty treatments and is continually driven by a desire to make self-care uncomplicated and accessible. Delikate Space works on the belief that to live your best life, self-care should be an everyday necessity and not just a rare indulgence.
"Hi, I’m Kate - an avid self-care advocate with over 15 year’s experience in the beauty and spa industry, who thrives on helping people come home to themselves, reminding them that joy begins within and radiates out. I facilitate this through holistic ‘beauty’ treatments that allow a timeframe of stillness within their day; allowing the consciousness to return home and recalibrate"... |

Here’s a few things about me you really don’t need to know:
* My 3 top guiding values are Compassion, Kindness & Equality - they are the base of which all else is built upon, including Delikate Space. Equality especially can get me on a rant
* I did my beauty training in Melbourne where I hated summer and hot weather, until I moved to the tropics in 2004, now I can’t handle weather below 23 degrees without whining️
* I’m ridiculously introverted and happily lived alone for 8 years until I moved in with the love of my life, who coincidentally had built my dream home 6 years before we met
* When I was 9-10 years old my mother suggested I become a massage therapist... I told her it wasn’t a real job and I was going to be an accountant or child psychologist... #samesame
* I rarely remove the polish from my toes before re-polishing, and have near zero competence in applying my own polish
* I could happily eat Mexican food everyday, every meal
* I am a qualified public health nutritionist and have completed the Shine From Within Youth Mentor course
* I am a Libra-Scorpio Cusp + INFJ + Generator + middle child and have a massive interest in any personality focused psychology/ theories
* I can fluently recite the alphabet backwards
* Delikate is pronounced the same as 'delicate'... I just swapped out the c for obvious reasons!

Pay What You Like (PWYL)
If you've been around these parts before you'll know Delikate Space is a strong advocate of self-care and its importance in a healthy, joyful life. I adore having the ability to make my services available at the Space to ensure self-care is as simple and accessible as it can be. I feel like the 'Pay What You Like' approach is just another way for me to do this. Plus, it's kind of fun!
It is an interesting concept to pay what you like for a service with a usual set price. Here's how it works at the Space:
For one specific day of each month I offer ALL services as 'Pay What You Like' (PWYL); however there is a minimum of $10 per booking/client (not per service) as I still have to pay the peeps upstairs 😉
Any gift vouchers purchased on this day, for services only, also qualify for the Pay What You Like promotion.
So for example, on the selected day, you can choose to just pay the $10 minimum, you can choose to pay the full price or you can choose any amount between the two. After the minimum $10 it's completely up to you!

If this interests you and you're keen to know more you'll need to be subscribed to our monthly newsletter to receive the date/day the promotion will be happening that month; You also need to mention on booking that it’s a PWYL service.

ABOUT: This quote rings true for those of us lucky enough to do what we love to do as a job. I love my 'work'. I prefer to not call it 'work' as I'm conditioned to believe work is supposed to be hard and stressful and take up way too much of your time. But honestly, it still blows me away every time I realise I get to do this as my job. Yes it sounds cheesy and cliché but in this industry if you don't love what you do you don't get to do it for long. Contrary to popular belief it's not easy, both physically and emotionally and if your heart isn't in it, you either burn out or lose interest to find a better paying gig (which could pretty much be anything else). I believe PWYL allows me to further my practice, and that of others who may otherwise not indulge.
