Louisa Hollenberg

Earth & Skin Owner

About Louisa. After Louisa and her mother suffered from health problems associated with toxin exposure, she realised something wasn’t right. Louisa decided to research why the rates of cancer, fertility issues, allergies and obesity are higher now than any time in history.

She was shocked to learn that the beauty and cosmetics industry is largely unregulated and use of toxic ingredients linked to these and other health issues is commonplace. This put her on a journey towards demanding a safer and more accountable beauty and cosmetics industry.

After deciding to reduce her toxic load Louisa searched for an expert on the Gold Coast to give her advice about effective skin products she could trust.

When she couldn’t find what she was looking for she decided to leave behind her career in Dentistry and open Earth and Skin.

Louisa is now a leader in the organic beauty industry and has published her book ‘Clean Skin in a Dirty World‘ as the perfect introduction to low-tox skincare. She has also launched a podcast exploring sustainability and natural beauty with fellow experts called “It’s a Dirty World“

Since opening in 2014, Louisa and her team have helped treat and educate over 8000 women about these issues. As a result, Earth and Skin is now known as the best day spa and beauty shop on the Gold Coast. Earth and Skin has been featured in many publications such as Mamamia, Gold Coast Bulletin, Jetstar Magazine, Urban List GC, to name a few.

Louisa believes that by making small changes to our everyday behaviour, we can dramatically change our long term health and save our planet.

Today I had the most majestic Elemental Facial experience at Earth + Skin or should I say, more like Heaven on Earth. My therapist was truly amazing, the atmosphere had the most beautiful, clean, fresh energy, newly and very tastefully renovated with every attention to detail considering the clients comfort. The products used throughout, second to none. Indeed the best Gift Voucher I have ever received, many thanks to Josh and Imodgen. I have rebooked for a blissful massage experience next. Simply can't wait... - Meg

Last night I was part of the Sunset Circle. This was my first experience at Earth and Skin....and I loved it!! It was a beautifully relaxed evening full of lots of information regarding my skin and overall wellness. Louisa and Bec were so welcoming from the moment I walked in to their gorgeous little spa. I cannot wait to go back and try out their amazing treatments and products.

The team at Earth + Skin Organic Day Spa are professional, friendly and welcoming. Today I was fortunate enough to have had a relaxing massage along side my wife. Rebecca and Stella were our masseurs who treated us to a lovely and relaxing massage that will long be remembered by us both. The ladies were most helpful and attentive throughout our visit, and best of all they made us feel like V.I.P.s from the moment we arrived until we left. Thankyou.

I had a hot stone massage recently and it was truly divine! From the moment you step foot into the salon you feel a sense of inner bliss. The interior is beautifully laid out, the service is first class and the massage was to die for.

Earth + Skin Organic Day Spa was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The lady’s Tiarna and Alana we’re incredible and had such good energy towards myself and my partner.

I had my back and chest sugared for the first time today, I’ve been told that is better than waxing for sensitive skin and I can’t agree more. It was way less painful and my skin had no inflammation. Tiffany was really caring and knowledgeable, she recommended me to try a session of their new led light to help healing my rosacea. It was pleasant and relaxing and I have to admit my skin looked much clearer after only 20 minutes. Anyhow so glad I found that Spa!

I just had a body fusion massage that was a gift from my niece. It was the most relaxing massage I have ever had! 😌 Tiarna was absolutely amazing. Thank you so much. Everything from the room, lotions, scents, music, atmosphere and the staff... I give it 5 stars 🤩

Tristina Hay

04:08 13 Dec 19

Just experienced my first 'sugaring' (sugar leg wax). Was absolutely amazing! So much less painful than a standard wax and feels great to be supporting the environment and my health at the same time. Tiarna was also very lovely company and did a great job working with my rather unmaintained leg hair. Big thumbs up!

I have been visiting Earth and Skin on a monthly basis for over a year now. I had some skin concerns regarding breakouts and oily skin for a few years prior but these are no longer an issue thanks to Georgia. She has done an amazing job at addressing my issues the natural way. Not only that, I have learned so much about how to take care of my skin properly. I really see going to Earth and Skin as a worthwhile investment on by beauty and overall skin health.

Just wanted to pass on my gratitude to Tifany for being ever so helpful in my quest to surprise my partner with a beautiful treatment. I was a little lost and didn’t know where to begin but Tiffany took her time and explained everything thoroughly even though I’m sure I was taking up too much of her time. She really gave outstanding customer service to me and we haven’t even visited the spa yet. Just makes us even more excited to visit soon. Can’t wait to meet tifany for our treatment in the new year! My partner and I are so excited

I've had the pleasure of visiting Earth + Skin on a number of occasions and I absolutely love it. In these uncertain times treating myself has become a priority, and I always feel so looked after by the girls at the spa. Their COVID-19 safety precautions are faultless, and their treatments are always incredible. Keep up the good work!

Jane Glohe

03:01 17 Jun 21

This place is amazing! Staff are a gorgeous easy going group. I got a gift voucher from my daughter and initially I thought I would just buy product, but as luck would have it, there was a spot later in the day. The place is layed out beautifully and the facial was not particularly expensive, but at $180 it was worth every cent. The products are fantastic - ethically sourced which is so important - and are also very affordable (2 anti-aging night creams for about $150-ish). Love love loved everything about this place 💕

Steph Macri

10:41 20 Jun 21

Everything about this spa is amazing! The treatments, the staff, the products and the whole experience is 5 star. They really go above and beyond compared to any other spa I have been to and the fact that all their products are cruelty free is even better.

Tiffany was not only professional, she could sense where my pain spots were and released all the tension especially on my back. I am very happy that .y good friend gifted me a voucher from earth&skin. Otherwise I would have not found that place. Side not: I straight away booked in another session and decided this is going to be my monthly treat to myself 🥰 If you wanna get someone a special gift, grab a voucher from E&S!Thanks Tiff and thanks Earth & Skin fir this amazing experience 😀

I had the pleasure of experiencing the Wild Moon treatment and cannot emphasise enough how above & beyond every aspect was. From singing bowls to scalp massages, I felt beyond nourished the entire time. There were moments I could hardly believe how thorough and attentive the lovely ladies were — special thanks to Carissima for guiding me through the entire journey. Such a great gift for yourself or a loved one. Would give six stars if I could :)
