TREAT YOUR SKIN AS AN EXTENSION OF YOUR WELLBEING.

I’ve spent over a decade working with skin — my own and my clients’. The biggest lesson for me has been this: skin doesn’t reward control. It responds to understanding.

I’ve lived with reactive, eczema-prone skin and periods of breakouts. I know how easy it is to slip into managing, analysing and trying to fix. I’ve always been analytical — sometimes to a fault — but skin has taught me that steadiness is more powerful than force. It responds to consistency, rhythm and a deeper understanding of what it’s asking for.

I began my career as an in-house facialist within a herbalist clinic, immersed in herbal remedies, tinctures, medicinal teas, supplements, acupuncture and shiatsu — a holistic way of living which back then was seen as out there and too “hippy”… how times have changed. That environment shaped how I see the skin: not as something isolated, but as part of a wider system (even if my friends and family weren’t always convinced by my turmeric and apple cider vinegar shots).

Studying nutrition deepened that perspective — how inflammation, stress and lifestyle show up on the skin. Over time, technique became more important than product. Touch became more important than trends.

In recent years, the beauty industry has moved quickly. Social media has created a constant stream of opinions and routines, and even as a practitioner it can feel overwhelming. For me, that shift has been clarifying. It’s helped me focus on what lasts. My work is built on observation, structure and experience — not urgency.

Now that I’m in my thirties, my focus has shifted again — towards hormone stability and long-term balance. The change in my own skin since paying attention to that has been significant: calmer, stronger, happier. It’s a reminder that skin evolves with us, and our approach should evolve too.

Massage sits at the centre of my treatments. It’s fascia-informed, sculpting and precise. Techniques are frameworks rather than scripts, and every face carries its own patterns of tension and expression. Breath is woven in quietly where it feels right — not as performance, simply as support.

But more than anything, I want you to feel genuinely cared for.

A treatment should feel deeply nourishing and thorough — never rushed, never surface-level. You should leave feeling like someone truly listened, paid attention and gave their full attention to your skin.

And if you want advice, I’ll give it to you clearly and simply. No overwhelm. Just insight that makes sense.

That’s what I care about most.
