The Aesthetic Business Masters Awards are judged by people who know this industry from the inside. Not observers, but practitioners, founders, strategists, and educators who have built businesses, led teams, navigated regulation, and sat across the table from clinic owners working through the same challenges you are. This series introduces you to the people behind the scorecard, so you know exactly who’s reading your submission and what they’ll be looking for.
Meet: Rachael Stevens
Rachael Stevens started where most clinic owners start: in the treatment room, juggling clients, team management, cash flow, and the constant pressure of keeping everything moving. The difference is what she built from there.
Rachael is now the CEO of Circadia Australia and the owner of My Skin Boutique. She has built and scaled multiple six- and seven-figure businesses, earning national recognition not just for commercial success, but for the depth of education and support she brings to the profession. In 2025, she was named AusMumpreneur Beauty Business Award Winner, with her businesses receiving multiple national industry awards.
Rachael knows what it’s like to treat clients all day, then stay late to reconcile the books. She has lived through the staffing challenges, the marketing learning curve, and the constant pressure to keep pace with an industry that never sits still. That first-hand experience gives her credibility with clinic owners that no amount of theory can replicate.
As CEO of Circadia Australia, Rachael has reshaped how a professional skincare brand supports its clinics. Under her leadership, Circadia Australia has become synonymous with education-led growth, community, and innovation. Rather than simply distributing products, she wants clinic owners to rethink their approach to education. Most treat it as an expense or a compliance requirement. She treats it as the primary driver of business growth. Under her leadership at Circadia Australia, practitioner education became the foundation of every clinic partnership, and the results followed: stronger retention, more confident teams, better patient outcomes, and a brand that clinics chose because of the support behind it, not just the products in front of it.
Rachael is also a sought-after speaker and educator who has presented on stages across Australia and the United States. Her presentations blend clinical insight with practical business strategy, delivered in an accessible, warm, and immediately applicable way. She was a standout at the 2025 Aesthetic Business Masters events in Sydney and Melbourne.
As a judge for the Aesthetic Business Masters Awards, Rachael Stevens brings a rare combination: she has built a clinic from the ground up, scaled a national brand, and maintained her values throughout. She understands what sustainable growth looks like at every stage and will look for businesses that prioritise education, long-term skin health outcomes, and big-picture thinking.
