The Backstory
I first knew I wanted to work in beauty when I realised how quickly the skin could be improved with good skincare and daily massage to remove stress and tension.
Beauty is such an important part of overall wellness and I love seeing the quick results a facial can give and my clients feeling confident in their own skin.
My big break was being granted access to the backstage world of fashion. Having already been in the beauty industry for years, being given the opportunity through my agent Premier Hair & Make Up to work on advertising campaigns, editorial shoots, magazine covers and films was definitely when things shifted.
I developed my infamous facial massage (which involves massaging inside the mouth) because I wanted to see lasting results using a natural approach. Having studied the mechanics of the human body, I designed the inner facial to deliver results not only for the skin but for the muscle tissue too.
To establish what a client’s skin needs, I look at everything from lifestyle, diet, medications, skincare routine and most importantly what my client wants to achieve.
To have truly great skin you need to understand that good skin comes from within: it’s essential that the gut is clean and functioning at an optimum level. Your gut controls your main organs and your largest living organ is your skin. It’s also important to nourish and protect skin from environmental pollutants and sun damage. Taking daily supplements, a good probiotic, alkalising greens and a clean diet will all help the function of the skin.
