How did you first get into your industry?

I started my journey in aesthetics in 2014 with CACI microcurrent facials. I loved seeing how much of a difference non-invasive treatments could make to the skin, both in how people looked and how they felt about themselves.

From there I continued expanding my skills, training in microneedling and chemical peels to help improve skin quality even further.

A natural progression for me was to move into injectables. Learning anti-wrinkle treatments and dermal fillers meant I could support my clients at a deeper level and create more comprehensive treatment plans tailored to their individual concerns.

What's your favourite thing about working in the industry?

Without a doubt, it’s the confidence it gives my clients.

Often people come in feeling like they look tired or that they’ve lost a bit of their sparkle. Being able to help them feel more like themselves again is incredibly rewarding.

It’s never about changing someone, it’s about restoring confidence and helping people feel comfortable in their own skin.

It’s never about changing someone - it’s about restoring confidence and helping people feel comfortable in their own skin.

What's your favourite treatment to perform, and why?

That’s a tricky one because I genuinely enjoy several treatments for different reasons.

If I had to choose, I would say full face facial balancing using dermal fillers. When done carefully and conservatively, it can subtly restore lost volume, improve proportions, and create a beautifully balanced result that still looks completely natural.

A close second would be CO₂ fractional laser. It’s an incredible treatment for improving skin texture, fine lines, and overall skin quality, and the long-term results can be really impressive.

I am also a Level 7 practitioner, which is the highest recognised qualification level in aesthetic practice in the UK. Safety is always my top priority, and I take great pride in creating treatment plans that enhance rather than change.

My approach is all about natural but noticeable tweakments - helping clients look refreshed, balanced and like the very best version of themselves.
