Rebeccamendations - Business, Love & Science.

Trudi’s multifaceted skills have taken her around the world - working in Sydney, New York and now, in the beautiful Byron Bay Hinterland innovating with her co-founder the late Olivia Newton-John.

Here, among many things, Trudi has been the driving force behind the formulation, branding and fast growing success of the Retreatment Botanics skincare range.

Trudi practices daily the philosophy ‘Beauty from the Inside Out’. She firmly believes in the youth-generating benefits of super nutritious foods and high performance natural and organic skincare. Trudi also adores the healing and restorative properties of pure essential oils, therefore having the perfect balance & combination to create that true sensory journey in every Retreatment Botanics product was a huge part of the development process.
