More Than a Clinic
The Metabolic Studio was created from a simple belief: health isn't one-dimensional, and neither are the people we help.
What began as Perth Skin Clinic in 2012, and later Perth HCG Clinic, has evolved into a space where weight management, lymphatic health and skin health come together in a way that makes sense. Because these areas don't exist in isolation — they're connected, just like the people who walk through our doors.
Led by Samantha Kaczynski, The Metabolic Studio offers a personalised approach that combines clinical expertise with genuine care and support. Every client is different, which is why there is no one-size-fits-all solution here.
We take the time to listen, understand your goals, and create a plan that works for you, your lifestyle, and your stage of life.
The Metabolic Studio is intentionally boutique. You're never just another appointment. You'll be welcomed by name, supported throughout your journey, and treated as the individual you are.
Whether you're looking to lose weight, support your lymphatic system, improve your skin, or simply feel more confident in your own body, we're here to help you get there.

Meet Samantha
Founder, Dermal Therapist, Nutrition Coach
If you'd told me twenty years ago that I'd one day be running a clinic focused on weight management, skin health and lymphatic therapy, I probably wouldn't have believed you.
Originally from the United States, my career began in a completely different world. I studied at Central Washington University and the University of Arizona before building a successful career in IT project management, earning my project management certification and working in a fast-paced corporate environment.
But over time, I found myself drawn to something different. I loved helping people solve problems, but I wanted to work more closely with people and have a more meaningful impact on their lives.
After moving to Australia in 2010, I decided to take a leap and follow that passion. I returned to study, completing my training in Dermal Sciences in Perth and beginning a journey that would ultimately change the direction of my life.
In 2012, I co-founded Perth Skin Clinic alongside Dr Keturah Hoffman, helping clients improve their skin health and confidence through personalised, results-focused care. A year later, I founded Perth HCG Clinic, which grew into one of Perth's longest-running clinically supervised weight management programs.
Over the years, I noticed something interesting. The clients I was helping with weight management were often struggling with skin concerns. Clients dealing with fluid retention and inflammation were also battling weight gain. Women navigating menopause were experiencing changes across all three areas at the same time.
The more I worked with clients, the more I realised these weren't separate problems. They were connected.
That insight became the foundation for The Metabolic Studio.
Founded in 2026, The Metabolic Studio brings together everything I've learned over more than a decade in practice. It's a place where weight management, lymphatic health and skin health come together under one roof, allowing me to support clients in a more complete and meaningful way.
Today, I personally work with every client who walks through the door. Whether you're looking to lose weight, improve your skin, reduce fluid retention or simply feel more comfortable in your own body, my goal is to provide honest advice, personalised support and solutions that fit your life. Because good health isn't about perfection. It's about feeling confident, capable and comfortable in your own skin.
