About Us

Oatsiva Enterprises was founded by pharmacist Michelle Cassumbhoy in 2017.

Over a career spanning almost twenty five years she has acquired clinical knowledge from major Australian public and private hospitals in addition to extensive retail experience.

The flagship product Oatsiva Concentrated Oatmeal Moisturizer was formulated based on this combined experience.

The inspiration for this product was to provide a high quality, pharmacist formulated, intense moisturizer for a wide range of consumers at a reasonable cost.

 

Michelle Cassumbhoy completed her pharmacy degree at Monash University in 1998 and then was accepted for internship at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. 

Upon her registration as a pharmacist, Michelle remained at Peter Mac for a further fifteen years where she gained experience in multiple facets of hospital pharmacy including roles in senior management.

She has worked extensively in most areas of the profession including ward service, clinical trials, medical information, dispensary (both hospital and retail), assisted reproductive therapies (IVF) and drug manufacture (both aseptic and non-aseptic).

Since 2008 Michelle has held the position of chief pharmacist at Thomas Embling Hospital which is a forensic psychiatric facility.

In 2016, she worked as a volunteer pharmacist on the mobile cardiology service “Heart of Australia” which brings specialist services to patients living in rural Queensland.

Michelle also holds a degree in violin performance from the Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne and is a Licentiate of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music, London.
