I am Annemarie Gallagher a Registered Nurse and now the proud owner at Caci Whakatane. I’m Mum to Daniel, Joshua, and Georgia and wife to Mike. I’m an Ohope beach girl returning home! I have 30 years of Nursing experience in ICU. But in 2011 Mike and I bought our first accommodation business. We now own two accommodation businesses and a Tourism business.

I first joined Caci as a customer, until then I thought ‘skin health’ was just a marketing ploy but realised after several months with Caci that what they did for me was life-changing. I’m now confident in my skin! I joined the team firstly as an Injectables Nurse and now am so excited to return home to Whakatane as the owner of Caci.

Kia Ora haere mai ki a Calli.

Calli is the heart of our front desk team and the first friendly face you see when you walk into our doors! Born and raised in Whakatāne, she brings a warm, down-to-earth energy that instantly puts people at ease.

Calli started with Caci Whakatāne as a client, undergoing a laser hair removal journey for PCOS and Hirsutism. It was this journey that made her fall in love with the brand and want to work at Caci herself. Her professionalism, friendly nature and personal experience create a welcoming environment for anyone who comes in.

Calli is currently doing an apprenticeship with us here at Caci Whakatāne to train as a skin therapist and is also our newest Treatment Advisor. We’re so lucky to have her as the face of our space as she keeps everything running smoothly with a smile.
