About Me

I am a qualified Medical Aesthetitian with internationally recognised credentials in Aesthetic skincare. I completed my Diploma in Somatology (2006–2008) with ITEC and CIDESCO, followed by an advanced fourth year in Medical Aesthetics in 2009, accredited by ITEC, CIDESCO, and SAAHSP.

The beauty industry has always been more than a profession for me — it is a long-standing passion rooted in helping others feel confident, cared for, and empowered.

My career began in established spas and salons, where I refined both my technical expertise and client-care approach. I later launched a mobile beauty business, gaining first-hand experience in entrepreneurship, client relationship management, and operational independence before the onset of COVID-19 disrupted the industry landscape.

At the height of my beauty career, I was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis — a turning point that required resilience and adaptation. Navigating this challenge reshaped my professional direction and strengthened my capacity for discipline, learning, and reinvention.

Since then, I have expanded my skill set by completing a TEFL qualification, a Canva design course, and a Digital Marketing course. These additions reflect both adaptability and a strategic shift toward digital capability and communication-driven roles.

Personally, I am a married mother of two young boys. Balancing family life, health management, and career development has cultivated strong organisational skills, persistence, and perspective — qualities I bring into every professional engagement.
