My journey in beauty and makeup began in 1996, when I trained in Beauty Therapy at Oxford College. Since then, I have continually developed and refined my expertise through advanced makeup training, including study at the Peter Swords King Academy in Bath, founded by the British, Oscar-winning makeup artist. I am also a proud member of the internationally renowned Kristina Gasparas Academy in London, where I have attended numerous advanced training sessions over the years.

After 12 successful years running my own beauty salon, I made the decision in 2023 to close its doors and dedicate myself fully to my true passion: makeup artistry. Today, I am privileged to help people feel confident, radiant, and truly incredible in their own skin, while indulging my love of creativity through makeup.

I am known for my friendly, calm approach, with kindness at the heart of everything I do. I live on the edge of the beautiful Cotswolds with my husband, and together we have two sons, aged 18 and 21, who ensure life is always lively — and the laundry basket is never empty.

Our family is completed by our two English Pointers, who are quite possibly the real loves of my life and certainly the most demanding. I am happiest immersed in the countryside, surrounded by nature, fresh air, and muddy walks. I have recently discovered a passion for outdoor spas and cold-water swimming, which I can only describe as both invigorating and a slightly questionable life choice. I also prioritise caring for my body and mind, with Pilates — whether reformer or mat — being a firm favourite for its incredible benefits.

Kindness to animals and respect for the planet are values I hold deeply and strive to reflect in both my personal life and my work.
