The person behind SABI

Hi, I'm
Lauri.

I'm a Registered Cosmetic Nurse with over six years of experience in aesthetic medicine and skin — and SABI is everything I've always believed a clinic should be. A space where you feel seen, unhurried, and completely yourself. Where the goal is never to change you, but to help you feel more like you.

"I never want a client to come to me wanting to change themselves. I want them to leave feeling more like themselves than they ever have."

My approach

Aesthetics, at its best, is not about transformation. It is about refinement — gently enhancing what is already uniquely yours, so that the face looking back at you in the mirror feels familiar, rested, and right.

I opened SABI because I wanted to create a space where clients never feel anxious, overwhelmed, or pressured. Where a consultation is genuinely a conversation. Where you are always in control, always informed, and always respected — whatever you decide.

My role is not to tell you what you need. It is to listen to what you want, share what I know, and together find an approach that feels true to you.

The philosophy

Wabi-sabi
and the art
of being real.

侘寂

Wabi-sabi is a Japanese philosophy rooted in the beauty of imperfection — the idea that there is profound elegance in things that are imperfect, incomplete, and impermanent. It is the worn grain of timber. The asymmetry of a handmade bowl. The fine lines that map a life well lived.

This philosophy sits at the very heart of SABI. I chose the name and concept deliberately, because I believe the aesthetics industry needs more of it. We live in a world saturated with filtered images and unreachable ideals, and I wanted to build something that pushes back against that — gently, beautifully, and with genuine care.

Wabi-sabi reminds us that what makes you distinctive is not a flaw to be corrected. It is the very thing that makes you remarkable. My work is never about erasing what is uniquely yours — it is about honouring it.

When you walk through the doors of SABI, I want you to feel it in the space itself — in the organic textures, the warm tones, the unhurried atmosphere. And I want you to carry that feeling with you long after you leave.

How I work

The values I bring
to every appointment

01
You are not a project
I will never look at you and see a list of things to fix. I will look at you and see a person — with a story, with goals, and with features worth celebrating.
02
Comfort before everything
SABI is designed to feel nothing like a clinical environment. You should feel calm the moment you walk in — and never pressured to do anything you are not ready for.
03
Restraint is a skill
The best cosmetic work is work you cannot quite put your finger on. A result so natural that people simply say you look well-rested. Knowing when to stop is something I take enormous pride in.
04
Honesty, always
If something is not right for you, I will tell you. I would rather turn down a treatment than deliver a result that doesn't serve you. Your trust means more to me than any appointment.
05
The whole picture
Hormones, stress, nutrition, and sleep all show up on your face. That is why SABI offers more than cosmetic treatments — because true skin health starts from within.
06
Your pace, always
There is no timeline here. No expectation to proceed. SABI is a space you can return to whenever you are ready — and leave exactly as you came in, if that is what feels right.
