DIANA MAY: OPERATIONS MANAGER
Diana has been involved with Mi Skn Clinic from its beginnings in 2010, supporting and advising Francesca's vision for a holistic skin clinic.
In 2021 Diana stepped away from the corporate world with a wish to support small independent businesses in their growth. Her role at Mi Skn involves managing all our operations, including our processes, procedures and systems; ensuring we have everything on-site to support our clients and the team. She is also responsible for managing our marketing and doubles up as a handywoman when something breaks!
Diana has an extensive background in international operations and finance over 25 years across a wide variety of industries.
Struggled with fungal acne and general redness from a sensitised skin barrier for years, after a couple months of facials and following my plan, my skin has finally been cleared when it felt almost impossible on my own! All the staff are so kind, attentive and warm from Diana's help in scheduling, Francescas advice or facials from Bea and Ella - the team is so amazing and knowledgable in helping through my clear skin journey💛
I can not thank the girls at Mi Skn Clinic enough!! I first found the clinic as I had bad acne and a lot of redness on my face.
After an amazing first consultation with Francesca, I started my journey and got my first facial ! The rest is history haha….. now my skin looks SOO MUCH BETTER 🫶🏼
Shout out to Maddy for making my appointments super fun and comfortable x but honestly all the girls there are just amazing 💕
100000% would recommend to anyone struggling with acne or even just wanting a nice facial ✨
Love you all

The holistic approach Miskn clinic takes to skin care is what drew me to this clinic. The dermal therapists are also so welcoming, knowledgeable and really help you choose the best treatments and plans tailored to your skin, with a focus on building your skin barrier. My biggest turning point was incorporating the naturopath, Solien, into my journey. The external and internal results have been amazing. Highly recommend.
I cannot recommend enough! I went to Mi Skin clinic because of my perioral dermatitis. I was so nervous about taking the journey to getting my skin healthy again, but Solien and Francesca were amazing! They helped put my mind at ease and they completely fixed my problem! I cant remember the last time I’ve used steroid cream on my face and my skin is looking perfect! I didn’t think it was possible but all the products and supplements are like magic and I’m so grateful to Solien for all that she did. Highly recommend! :)
I’ve been visiting Mi Skn Clinic since 2022, and it’s been such a positive experience. I truly appreciate their holistic approach to health and well-being. The naturopath consultation with Solien was incredibly insightful and helped me gain a much deeper understanding of my body and its needs.
One of the things I love most about the clinic is how warm and welcoming the staff are. Bea, Maddy, and Ella have been amazing to work with – they’re all so friendly and attentive, making every visit enjoyable.
I’ve recommended Mi Skn Clinic to friends and family and will continue to do so. If you’re looking for a clinic that genuinely cares about your overall well-being and provides exceptional service, Mi Skn is the place to go!
The skin care products I’ve used work amazing for me as long as I stick to avoiding my trigger foods, also the redness and flare ups have been kept under control with Regular Heatlite therapy. I can’t thank Francesca and Ella enough for keeping me in good care. I would 100% recommend anyone looking to use MiSkn clinic. Thank you
I want to share an honest review of my experience at Mi Skin Clinic. Initially, I hesitated due to the cost, wondering if it would just be another expensive treatment that wouldn't work. I’ve struggled with acne since my teens, but after coming off the pill, it worsened significantly. Feeling like I had tried everything else, I reached out to Mi Skin as my last hope before considering Roaccutane.
I first visited Mi Skin in August 2024 for an initial consultation with Francesca, who took the time to help me understand the root causes and triggers of my acne and put together a treatment plan, including a new skincare routine and steps within the clinic going forward. I met with Solien, the naturopath, whose holistic approach to healing from within really resonated with me. She recommended blood tests and, based on the results, prescribed supplements and made diet suggestions to support my skin.
Additionally, I started Healite and Thermal Enzyme Facial treatments with the nurses—Ella, Bea, and Maddy—who were all incredibly supportive, suggesting the best treatments and products for my skin. Though my journey has had its ups and downs, the team at Mi Skin has been consistently helpful, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring.
I’ll be honest, it can get expensive, and at first, the treatments, consultations, skincare, and supplements can feel overwhelming. However, as my skin improves, the list of things to manage gets shorter, and the routine becomes easier to follow. The treatments are so relaxing, and the whole team is so warm, from Mackenzie greeting me at the entrance and helping with booking appointments to everyone at the clinic.
The best part is I’m starting to regain my confidence. I’m learning more about my skin, how my cycle and lifestyle affect it, and how to better manage it. I’ll definitely continue my journey with Mi Skin and just wish I had started sooner.
