Innovator, Educator, Author, Speaker
“As an award-winning cosmetic doctor with a holistic focus, I passionately help busy people transform both their inner and outer beauty, so they achieve their goal of living their best life possible.
When working in the hospitals I saw the ravages of negative ageing, and made the decision that I did not want anyone I cared about to suffer the same way. I constantly learn, travel, adventure and grow, so that I can share what I’ve learned with you, along with thousands of others, to help you live a long, happy, healthy and productive life.
Combining life changing non-surgical cosmetic procedures with information and education on the latest biohacks, hints and tips, inspirational quotes, awesome connections and some of my favourite healthy recipes, we make it quick and simple for you to facilitate positive change - so you can Grow Younger - naturally, safely, and with higher levels of inspiration, energy and happiness.” - Dr Cat
MY STORY
I’m Dr Catherine “Cat” Stone — cosmetic doctor, best-selling author, international speaker, and three-time cancer survivor.
For more than 25 years, I have worked at the forefront of non-surgical cosmetic medicine, helping people age well through evidence-based, compassionate care. I was one of the first full-time cosmetic doctors in Australasia and the founder of The Face Place, New Zealand’s first medical spa.
Alongside facial aesthetics, I have been a pioneer in medical intimate wellness and sexual rejuvenation in New Zealand, advocating for women’s sexual health and quality of life as essential components of whole-person wellbeing. Long before these topics were widely discussed, I introduced and normalised clinically supported intimate treatments and contributed to education and dialogue around sexual health, ageing and embodiment.
My perspective was profoundly shaped by my own experience with breast cancer, multiple surgeries and medically induced menopause. Moving from doctor to patient deepened my understanding of resilience, recovery and what it truly means to live well.
Today, my work focuses on sharing medically informed, holistic approaches to vitality, confidence and quality of life through midlife and beyond — because beauty is not just what we see, but how we live.

WHAT I BELIEVE
Science + Soul
Evidence-based medicine works best when delivered with curiosity, compassion and respect for the whole person.
Beauty as a Catalyst
When people feel confident in their bodies — including their intimate and sexual selves — they make braver, healthier choices everywhere else.
Pleasure Is Foundational
Sexual vitality and embodiment are not indulgences. They are central to wellbeing, resilience and longevity.
Resilience Is Radiant
The most compelling beauty is lived, earned and integrated.
WHAT I’M CREATING NOW
Today, my work extends beyond the clinic into books, education, creative projects and immersive experiences — all designed to support midlife vitality and reinvention.
My current focus includes:
• The Grow Younger ecosystem (longevity, food, sexuality and lifestyle)

• Writing, speaking and education on ageing well, embodiment and quality of life
• Evidence-based tools that make wellbeing practical, not overwhelming
