Professional skin and wellness treatments in the heart of Hillcrest. 15 years of experience helping clients achieve beautiful skin and inner peace.
Hi, I’m Kim Buys, and I’m passionate about helping people heal through the power of touch and skincare. After 10 years of owning Kemayu Spa, I’ve created Aruka Studio – a serene sanctuary focused on what I love most: skincare and wellness treatments.
The word ‘Aruka’ means healing, restoration, and recovery in Hebrew. This perfectly captures my mission to help clients not just improve their skin, but find peace for their mind, body, and soul.
‘Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security.’ – Jeremiah 33:6
