Stephanies Luxury Spas

Let it be known the name behind the highly regarded and reputable luxury spa collection is Stephanie Shepherd, CEO and Founder.

If you take a moment to close your eyes and reflect on your childhood, what was it you wanted to be? a nurse.. a chef.. a superhero.. and much like our childhood superheroes, the road to success for the Stephanies® brand took conviction courage and bravery.

In the “compellingly beautiful, rugged and harsh terrain” of Broken Hill, built on “resilience and strong community bonds”, is where, from a young age and poised with lipstick in hand, the vision for the Stephanies® brand was conceived.
Raised with great love and encouragement from her family, the idea of nurturing and caring for others was inevitable. At age 16, Stephanie left behind her collection of test recipes for homemade mud masks. She moved to Adelaide, where in 1985, she completed her Diploma of Beauty Therapy before returning briefly to work in Broken Hill, knowing that one day she would complete that unfinished project.

With over 37 years of experience, shared between beauty therapy, teaching and business development. Stephanie has become one of the most respected business leaders in beauty therapy, spa and wellness tourism. Her authentic style and care to support her industry peers to see them grow are with genuine passion and professionalism.

Stephanie has built a brand name dedicated to providing exceptional customer service and unique internationally inspired spa treatments in a safe, welcoming environment that allows guests to completely relax in any one of her six globally Award-Winning Luxury Hotel and Urban day spas across South East Queensland, Australia.
With her husband Desmond and a strong leadership team by her side, Stephanie continues to take leaps of faith to grow and develop the Stephanies® brand and to deliver upon her passion and business dreams.

…..and some 40 years on, forever inspired by the simplicity and efficacy of the beauty ritual, that dream, that unfinished project, became a reality with the development of the Stephanies® Skincare Collection. Made with intention, using traditional artisan fusion methods of formulating, Stephanie has curated a beautiful, science-backed, active botanical collection for you to experience.

Many claim that Broken Hill has “got a genuine soul”, that same connection that forms the culture within the Stephanies® brand.

Immerse yourself and connect you to your authentic self with Stephanies®.
