After visiting New Zealand in 1993 on a working holiday,

she together with her husband  Dr Priyen Naidoo  made the move in 1996 to join the rest of her family who had been  living here for over 10 years.

They settled in Hamilton, and Kirshni established herself as a partner at Five Cross Medical centre, where she continues to work as a GP.

Starting Jeunesse was the culmination of a longstanding  interest in appearance medicine and extends her passion to assist people in a positive & exciting way.

Kirshni is an experienced appearance medicine physician and is a Fellow of The  New Zealand  College of Appearance Medicine & has completed the University of Queensland Primary Certificate in Skin Cancer.

She enjoys working both in GP & appearance medicine which she feels keeps her professional balance in focus.

Kirshni has a keen aesthetic eye and when she is not working or spending time with her family, she enjoys music, Latin American dancing , scrapbooking  and interior design.

“At Jeunesse  we pride ourselves on our high standards of clinical care and safety but like all medical treatments it is not only about the treatment but also about the experience.”
