Madilyn Sonter is a Registered Nurse based in Brisbane, Australia.

Today on the podcast, I had the privilege of talking with Maddy about her business, The Functional Skin Studio, and how she is remaining compliant to the regulations in Queensland.

Maddy and I discuss her pathway from Registered Nurse to business owner, mum to skin care developer.

The ability to pivot in the cosmetic space is what keeps Maddy one step ahead of her competitors. However, it is her own lived experiences of acne, sensitive skin and gut that has enabled Maddy to look at the skin space differently. This has given her a unique perspective on how she treats and manages skin, acne and the gut.

Maddy’s skin care range, The Functional Skin, is a green, clean and effective range for anyone who has had problematic skin.

Add to this mix, two young boys, a house renovation, and you have one busy nurse!

Today on the podcast we chat with Sarah Elliott.

Sarah is a Registered Nurse and Registered Midwife. She has moved in to academia with an interest in midwifery, and in-particular rural and remote midwifery.

We chat about the problems of women who have to travel, due to high risk deliveries of their unborn babies, and the challenges they face.

Sarah discusses the difference around c-section and vaginal deliveries and the impact research is showing this can have on the babies gut health.

This is a broad discussion around birthing and how we as nurses and midwives can help mothers to be, mothers post c-section and their babies.
