The person behind Beyond the Treatment Room
Hi, I am Mariella.
Aesthetic practitioner. Clinic owner. Nursing student. Mentor. And the person who spent years figuring out the hard way what actually makes a clinic profitable and a skin practice genuinely confident.
My story
Six years ago I was treating clients from a spare room in my house with a dream, a treatment bed and absolutely no idea how to build a business.
Like so many practitioners, I believed that if I became amazing at treatments clients would naturally come. That working harder meant earning more. That another discount, another offer or another training course would somehow be the thing that finally made everything click.
It did not.
I spent years constantly chasing bookings, overthinking every Instagram post and wondering why I was working so hard but never feeling secure. Every month felt like starting from scratch.
At the same time I realised there was another gap.
I was treating skin but I did not truly understand skin.
I knew the protocols but not always the science behind them. I wanted to stop following treatment plans blindly and start making confident clinical decisions that actually changed my clients' skin.
So I became obsessed with learning.
Not just marketing. Not just treatments. Everything.
Skin physiology. Ingredients. Consultations. Client psychology. Pricing. Systems. Sales. Content. Business strategy. The science behind why skin behaves the way it does.
That journey completely changed my career.
Today I own a thriving aesthetics clinic, I am studying nursing to deepen my clinical knowledge even further and I have helped practitioners build businesses that are more profitable while becoming more confident treating skin.
Because the truth is.
Being a great practitioner is not just about injecting well or performing a facial.
It is about understanding skin.
It is about knowing why you are choosing a treatment.
It is about building a business that gives you freedom — not one that burns you out.
That is exactly why I created Beyond the Treatment Room. A place where aesthetic practitioners can learn the clinical knowledge that often is not taught alongside the business strategies that actually work in the real world.
The real behind the scenes
Oh and I should introduce you to Marley.
My dog. My shadow. My most loyal colleague.
Marley has been at my feet for every coaching call, every late night content session and every 2am clinic rebrand that probably did not need to happen at 2am but somehow felt urgent at the time.
I have been mentoring practitioners now for almost three years. And in that time I have worked with women at every stage — from just starting out and completely overwhelmed to established clinics that are busy but somehow still not profitable.
I am a practitioner just like you. I have walked every single part of your path.
I know what it feels like to sit in an empty diary and convince yourself to post something even though nothing feels good enough.
I know what it feels like to work a full week and open your bank account on Friday to find almost nothing there.
I know what it feels like to care so deeply about your clients but feel completely lost on the business side of everything.
And I know what it feels like when it finally starts to click.
When the right clients start coming in. When you stop discounting and people still book. When you finish a month and actually feel proud of what landed in your account.
That shift is possible for you. I have watched it happen for so many practitioners. And I genuinely cannot wait to watch it happen for you too.
What I teach and why
Everything I teach comes from experience.
From treating thousands of clients in my own clinic over six years
From building my own business from a spare room with no roadmap
From making plenty of expensive mistakes so you do not have to
From never stopping learning — including going back to study nursing
If you are ready to become the practitioner your clients trust, recommend and happily invest in — you are in the right place.
