Our Karori Team
Natalie Wilkes – Cosmetic Nurse
My name is Natalie, I am a registered nurse and have been practicing since 1993, I entered the cosmetic industry in 2013 and have enjoyed the diversity and autonomy it has given me as a health professional. I am an accredited member of the Cosmetic Appearance Nurses Network (CANN), obtaining gold star status in 2001 which means I have met the stringent criteria governing my practice. I am also a trained Neonatal Intensive Care Nurse of 27 years and continue to practice in this field and find the balance between the private and public sector keeps things real.
Emma Davies – Skin Therapist
My name is Emma, and I am a Beauty and Skin therapist with over 20 years of experience within the industry where I have seen the industry change and develop in so many positive and exciting ways. It is fabulous to be working alongside Natalie at Imperfect, a hidden gem tucked away in Karori. Here at Imperfect, the tailored treatments and high-performance ingredients in the skincare products are perfect to achieve results you will love. Everything your skin needs and nothing more.
I believe self-care and healthy-looking skin is important. It gives us all a confidence that glows. I look forward to seeing you soon at Imperfect, whether you are wanting to treat a specific skin concern or just need someone to take care of you for a while.
Sarah Garner – Cosmetic Nurse
I am a qualified aesthetic nurse prescriber with over a decade of experience in advanced aesthetic practice. My injecting career began in the UK in 2015, where I built a successful private business and later served as Lead Nurse at the award-winning Fab Clinics. During this time, I developed a reputation for refined technique, thoughtful treatment planning, and natural, elegant results.
After relocating to New Zealand in 2018, I continued practising with The Cosmetic Clinic NZ and later completed my aesthetic prescribing qualification in the UK, expanding my clinical scope. I have since worked in Christchurch and am now based in Wellington, collaborating with the lovely Natalie Wilkes at her high-end clinic- Imperfect, while also running a clinic in Queenstown. I am very grateful that many of my loyal clients travel — and often fly — to see me for treatment, reflecting the trust and long-standing relationships I have built throughout my career.
I am known for a holistic, skin-first philosophy and my ability to create balanced, understated results. With a background in mental health nursing, I approach aesthetics with depth and discretion, prioritising confidence, emotional wellbeing, and long-term facial harmony over trends or excess. Passionate about wellness in all its forms, I believe the most beautiful results come from feeling healthy, supported, and authentically yourself.
