Interview with Renee @ Natspa
Danielle: We're sitting down today to talk with the wonderful and always bright and bubbly, Renee, the skin therapist and part owner of Natspa here at Essendon, Victoria. What do you think has been your biggest accomplishment with Natspa and the work that you guys do?
Renee: Look, I've had clients that I've been looking after for 20 years. So, you know, that's really touching that they've trusted me with their skin and their skin issues. Obviously, keeping the doors open for such a long time. Small business is really challenging at times.
Renee:It's fun. It's nice being your own boss and calling the shots, in a way and setting your own hours, which is good.
Danielle: How do you find you work with your clients to instil that confidence? They may have an acne problem or they may have something that visually is prevalent to people. How do you work with those people to try and help them with the confidence?
Renee: I think apart from the physical treatment side of it, it's also like I touched on before, listening to their concerns. Encouragement is massive in our job. You know, we tend to find that when they do have self-esteem issues it's encouraging them not to compare themselves to anyone out there. Get off Instagram and get off social media because you know what? You're on your own journey. You're on your own skin path, your own journey. And it's not a race. It's a marathon to get to where you need to go.
Renee: And I find it, I guess some part counsellor sometimes.
Danielle: Definitely.
Renee: I have to be. And it's becoming a lot more part of my job, I think, in this day and age.
Danielle: But how is it that it works for you? What self-confidence do you have? Or, are you a self-confident person physically as well, or?
Renee: I think like all of us, when we have our days. The days where, you know, you think, "Yeah, I'll go right today. I'm doing okay." And other days that you might just be derailed by something that's happened. You know, you're only human if you don't have those days.
Danielle: Yeah.

Below we have measuring instructions with images to assist you.
All you need to do is take a couple of simple measurements; your waist, your lower waist and your hips. The best way to do this is by using a soft measuring tape and a mirror to ensure you are accurate. If possible stand in front of a mirror when taking your measurements to ensure that the measuring tape is also parallel to the floor and is flat.
Your waist is the natural in indentation above your hips or just below your rib cage (see image). Wrap the soft measuring tape around firmly without pitching your skin together – write this measurement down.
Your lower waist is approx. 12cm down from your waist. Take your measuring tape and run this down from your waist to 12cm (see image). Wrap the soft measuring tape around this area firmly without pitching your skin together – write this measurement down.
Now wrap the soft measuring tape around the fullest part of your hips, this is approximately 25cm below your waist (see image). Use the mirror to check that your measuring tape is completely straight and parallel to the floor – write this measurement down.
All you need to do is take a couple of simple measurements; your Full Bust and your Lower or under bust. The best way to do this is by using a soft measuring tape and a mirror to ensure you are accurate.
Your Full Bust is the fullest part of your bust (see image). Ensure that the measuring tape is completely straight and parallel to the floor. Wrap the soft measuring tape around firmly without pitching your skin together – write this measurement down
The Lower or Under bust is measured by wrapping the measuring tape around your rib cage directly under your bust (see image). Wrap the soft measuring tape around firmly without pitching your skin together – write this measurement down
