What originally inspired you to get into the skin, inner health, and wellness sphere?
It was a personal journey. In my late 30s, I hit a point where my health, skin, and energy felt depleted. I started deep-diving into whole foods, hormonal balance, and skin health from the inside out. The more I learned, the more I realised how connected everything is - our skin is simply a reflection of what’s happening internally. That led me to retrain, study, and ultimately turn my passion into my profession.
How would you explain what you do?
I bridge the gap between skincare and wellness. As a facialist, health coach, and skin expert, I help people understand that great skin isn’t just about what you put on it - it’s about what you feed it, how you support your body, and the daily habits that nourish from within.
Where do you usually find inspiration for your work?
Through research, experience, and conversations with my community. I love exploring cutting-edge skin science, but I also draw from traditional wisdom - what we eat, how we move, and how we care for ourselves daily has the biggest impact.
You have a day away from work, what would be your ideal way to spend it?
Somewhere by the sea, phone off, fresh air, great food, and no agenda. A slow morning, a long walk, nourishing meals, and an infrared sauna - simple, but restorative.
What are your Brighton recommendations? Both for wellness and in general?
For wellness, I love Beach Box Spa, Cafe Marmalade for nourishing food, and The Florence Road Market for great local produce. For a slower pace, a walk along the undercliff path or a dip in the sea is my idea of perfection.
Tell us about your juice collaboration with Field Trip Spa.
This collaboration was born from a shared love of real, functional ingredients. We’ve created juices that not only taste good but support the skin and body with powerful nutrients - whole food, no unnecessary sugars, just pure, nourishing goodness.
How do you create a sense of well-being at home?
It starts with simplicity - good food, clean spaces, natural light, and a daily routine that feels grounding. I love rituals like herbal tea in the evening, red light therapy, and prioritising sleep. Wellness isn’t just about big practices - it’s about how you live daily.
You emphasise the importance of nourishing the skin from within.
How do you integrate whole food nutrition into your skincare recommendations?
Skin health is built from the inside out. I focus on anti-inflammatory, blood sugar-balancing foods that support collagen, hydration, and barrier function. Think high-quality protein, healthy fats, and antioxidant-rich plants - your skincare should complement what you’re feeding your body, not compensate for it.
“Microdosing wellness” is a concept you advocate for. Can you elaborate on what this entails and provide examples of small changes that can lead to significant improvements in well-being?
Wellness doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Microdosing wellness is about layering small, impactful habits into your daily life. Things like morning sunlight, hydration with minerals, deep breathing before meals, and swapping ultra-processed foods for whole ingredients. These shifts, done consistently, compound into lasting change.
With your busy schedule, how do you ensure consistency in your personal wellness routines, and what are some non-negotiable practices you adhere to daily?
I keep my non-negotiables simple: real food, blood sugar balance, daily movement, and prioritising sleep. I don’t overcomplicate things - wellness is about consistency, not perfection.
If people were to only make one change to their routine, what would you suggest?
Prioritise protein and blood sugar balance. It stabilises energy, supports hormones, and has a profound impact on skin, mood, and overall health.
What advice would you give to your younger self?
Trust the process. You don’t have to have it all figured out -
just focus on taking care of yourself, learning, and evolving. Wellness isn’t about quick fixes, it’s about the long game.
