  • Trina Eliassen is a successful businesswoman who founded and currently serves as the CEO of Azurite. Originally from the United States, she has worked in various industries throughout her life. Trina started her career by owning a modelling agency and producing runway shows in New England before moving to South Florida, where she owned a company providing software consultants.

    Despite her success in these fields, Trina realized her true passion lay in the spiritual world. In the early 2000s, she opened a small boutique healing centre in Fort Lauderdale before relocating to Australia with her four children to eventually open a 5-star health resort called Celestine Waters in country Victoria. The resort became a huge success, featuring on television and in prominent magazines and newspapers. However, Trina was forced to close Celestine Waters during the Global Financial Crisis of 2008.

    After taking two years off to focus on her family and heal, Trina decided to pursue her vision of owning a healing resort with cosmetic surgery. She opened Azurite Medical and Wellness, which has since become a leading cosmetic surgery and post-healing services provider.

    Despite her business success, Trina considers her children her greatest achievement. They work alongside her at Azurite, each bringing their unique talents and skills to the company.
