MY STORY
A little about me
About me
From a very young age I knew I wanted to become a beauty therapist so after completing my A Levels and a Foundation Degree in Specialist Makeup, I followed my lifelong ambition and trained in the internationally recognised CIBTAC and CIDESCO Beauty Therapist Qualifications. CIDESCO is the most prestigious qualification in the Beauty Industry that guarantees developing graduates into ‘Therapists of Excellence’ and I’ve never looked back! Since qualifying, I have continued to grow my skills in natural face and body therapies through advanced training courses- we never stop learning after all!! I have gained advanced qualifications in Pregnancy Massage, Sacral Abdomonial Massage, VODDER Manual Lymphatic Drainage, JING Foundation in Clinical Massage, JING Remedial massage in Leg and Foot Pain, Neck and Shoulder pain and Carpel Tunnel, Advanced Skin Sciene-Sally Durrant, VTCT Indian Head Massage, VTCT Aromatherapy, Hydrotherm Massage, IIAA Advanced Nutrition Programme, Aromatherapy Associates Product and Treatments, Shared Beauty Secrets Lava Shell Massage and Glacial Detox Massage, Neal’s Yard Facial Rejuvenation and Philosophia Botanica Professional Gua Sha Facial. I have recently qualified as a Rejuvologist practitioner. An incredible therapy which taps into so many systems of the body through a purely hands-on approach for the ultimate in facial rejuvenation. An exciting addition to my treatment offer.
I have enjoyed a varied career as a therapist, kick started in one of the most premium spas in the UK at that time, The Sanctuary Spa. I then took the decision to move from hands-on therapy to training and managerial roles within the beauty industry. In 2008 I joined my dream skincare brand Liz Earle Beauty Company forming part of their first ever elite therapist team, based in the heart of Chelsea, London. I went onto grow our treatments business across the UK, designing and developing our treatment offering as well as co-creating the ‘on counter’ services, educating and coaching the teams on treating the skin holistically. I was also an expert for the brand; co-hosting store events and co-presenting on a number of QVC shows, sharing my top therapist tips on how to maximise your skincare through the art of self-care facials, in the comfort of your home. After marrying and growing our little family, in 2017 I finally opened my first very own treatment space, The Skin Cabin, set in the garden of my home in Kent. And in the Autumn of 2024 after a couple of years in the making, I opened my next treatment space, The Skin Cabin #2 (with a twist!) in Joydens Wood.
