Our team

Five therapists, one way of working.

A small team with different specialties and the same habits: careful consultations, clean rooms and time to do things properly.

Owner & Senior Skin Therapist

Ingrid Sato

Ingrid trained in Sydney and spent more than a decade in day spas and dermal clinics before opening Ostra in Belconnen in 2019. She still sees clients four days a week and does most of our skin consultations herself.

She’s particular about the small things: warm towels, a quiet room and recommendations that fit your routine and your budget. Away from the studio she’s usually walking her dog around Lake Ginninderra.
