What made having acne particularly difficult was that I was working in the beauty industry at the time. For over 25 years, I developed and marketed skincare products for leading beauty brands, yet for most of that time, my own skin remained a source of frustration and deep embarrassment.

Acne affected far more than my skin. It knocked my confidence, made me self-conscious and left me constantly searching for answers. I know how exhausting it is to try solution after solution, hoping the next one will finally help.

Eventually, I realised I needed to look beyond medication and skincare.

As I began learning more about nutrition and health, I discovered the powerful connection between skin, hormones, gut health and lifestyle. The more I learned, the more I understood that the answers I'd been looking for weren't only on the surface.

Years later, after successfully clearing my own skin, I retrained as a Nutritional Therapist at the College of Naturopathic Medicine in London so I could help other women uncover the root causes behind their acne and health concerns.

Alongside my professional background, food and cooking have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up in North London, I loved exploring different cuisines and cooking with my dad. I've collected cookbooks for years, and that curiosity about food eventually developed into a fascination with how nutrition can support health and wellbeing.

Today, I combine my experience in skincare with evidence-based nutritional therapy to help women struggling with adult acne, digestive issues, hormonal symptoms and low energy. My approach is about understanding the whole picture, creating realistic changes and helping clients regain confidence in both their skin and their health.

Because having been there myself, I know that clearer skin isn't just about appearance. It's about feeling comfortable in your own skin again.
