Tania Malan is the visionary founder of Uniskin (UK) and co-founder of Ageless by Design (SA). Her career began in South Africa, where she cut her teeth in a provincial trauma unit with high patient loads and few doctors on hand. Moving to the UK, she advanced rapidly, becoming one of a select group of nurse practitioners handpicked to complete a four-year medical rotation at Princess Alexandra Hospital. She went on to practice independently with full prescribing rights in general practice, helping shape the now well-established role of nurse practitioners in the UK.

Alongside her clinical practice, Tania contributed to the education of the next generation of healthcare professionals, working as a lecturer practitioner at Nottingham Medical School, co-designing the advanced practice curriculum at Derby University, and training medical students in GP practice. She also founded Uniskin, her UK-based clinic, which has been nominated as one of the best clinics in the country and continues to serve as a hub for innovation and patient-centred care. Holding four degrees, including an MSc in Regenerative Medicine, she has built a career defined by continuous learning and innovation.

Frustrated by the limits of conventional medicine — and drawing on her own experiences as a patient — Tania embarked on further studies across the world, exploring genetics, hormones, aesthetics, and functional medicine. This quest led to her pioneering work: the creation of the 12-Step Framework to Extend Healthspan™, developed through original research and designed to redefine how we understand and experience ageing.

Today, as a bestselling author, international speaker, and award-nominated practitioner, Tania is committed to empowering patients, colleagues, and societies alike. Her mission is simple but profound: to reduce the burden of ageing on individuals and communities, and to help every person live not just longer, but stronger, healthier, and optimised lives.
