Treatments delivered with care and attention from someone who knows how precious time is.. As a woman, I empathise powerfully with women.

We work hard, we spin so many plates, we are
mothers, wives, daughters and friends. We fret, we stress, we organise as if our lives depend on it. Often we are the custodians of the family’s emotional well-being....not easy. Through my treatments my aim is to bring some solace, comfort and restoration to the mind, spirit, face and body. I want to help you to look better, feel better from deep down.
​
I have christened myself ‘The Thoughtful Facialist’. For me being thoughtful in this context means seeing beyond what meets the eye. It means being sensitive to different levels of someone’s being. It means taking a wider view to allow us to begin to understand what’s going on deep down.
​
Skin marks the edge of you. There is an exchange and a communication from the inside to the outside.
​
Central to Chinese medicine and fundamental to my approach, we look at the face through the prism of this modality. The face reflects the larger system, including digestion, stress, sleep, and lifestyle. Also through the application on acupuncture we turn our attention to the balance and flow of energy, Chi, within the body working to harmonise your whole system. I’m not offering a simple beauty treatment (delightful though that is). I will be ready to look beyond the surface,
receptive to what you and your body wish to communicate. From that together we can shape your treatment.

I’ve always been fascinated by newsreaders…
Their skin is always so beautifully looked after, their faces are glowing — but have you ever noticed that the neck is often a different story?
It’s an area we’re not always quite so good at treating. We cleanse it, moisturise it (sometimes!), but it can very easily get forgotten when it comes to our skincare and facial treatments.
But all is not lost. 🤍
This is a lovely before & after from 6 weeks of neck acupuncture combined with gentle microneedling.
The aim isn’t to change the way the neck looks overnight, but to encourage the skin to work with itself, supporting circulation, collagen production and overall skin quality.
And I think this is such a beautiful example of what can happen when we give an often-neglected area a little more attention.

✨ Small changes
✨ Consistent treatment
✨ Supporting the skin rather than trying to fight it

Because our neck deserves some love too.

If you are interested in this please message me and I'll send you the details.

I do love my treatment room.

It’s very much an expression of me, and I hope that when you walk through the door, you feel instantly at home.

Cosy.
Quiet.
A little bit removed from the outside world.

For a while, I was considering having a treatment room somewhere else. My husband and I talked about it, looked at the possibilities, and eventually realised that it just didn’t quite stack up.

And actually… I think I’ve realised that this little sanctuary is exactly where I want to be.

It’s personal.

It’s peaceful.

And I love that I get to share it with the women who come here.

If you’ve been in for a treatment, I’d genuinely love to know what you liked about the room — or if there’s anything you think would make it even more lovely.

I’m always open to ideas. 🤍

Quote of the day from a lovely client "you should be on prescription"... feedback doesn't get much better than that 👏
