the facial mentor
My passion for skincare and the beauty industry spans nearly 25 years. It all began with a fascination for how a simple touch could heal, how subtle changes could spark confidence, and how facials could become a powerful form of self-care that goes beyond the surface.
Enquire
Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to work with some of the world’s most prestigious brands as a global educator. As a solopreneur, I’ve built a thriving business and surrounded myself with the most inspiring minds in the beauty industry.
I specialise in advanced technology facials, blended with Ayurvedic-inspired techniques. My clients, some who travel from all over the UK for my award-winning Autograph Facials, book more than a year in advance.
As a facialist...
Winning “Facialist of the Year” at the BABTAC Awards was a career-defining moment for me. It was the moment I realised how much I had to share with others in this industry.
What is knowledge if it can’t be shared?
I’m also proud to have been a four-time finalist for “Skin Clinic of the Year” and “Boutique Salon of the Year” at the Professional Beauty Awards. I am the first Advanced Beauty Therapist to hold a PHAB Service Star and a three-time PHAB Service Star recipient (likened to the Michelin Stars of the i industry). I’m committed to providing a level of client experience and service that is unmatched.
Throughout my career, I’ve been honoured with awards that reflect my dedication to delivering excellence.

leading from the heart
I’m the co-author of the best-selling book Leading from the Heart, which has been a bestseller in the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia. Contributing to this book, alongside the ‘icons’ in the beauty industry I’ve admired for decades, was a true “pinch me” moment.

When I’m not making my clients skin smile, I love to re-energise by warm turquoise waters, white sand and dappled sunshine, the colours that inspire The Facial Mentor’s branding and bring me a sense of inner peace and calm. These moments ground me and remind me why I do what I do: to help others find their own peace and confidence through the art of skincare.
