"Long before I got into aesthetics, I had a realisation that for me, there was a link between looking good and feeling good. This started in really small steps. I was never big into hair & makeup, I was more into fitness & having fun!

Training at the gym became a fairly consistent habit that would be guaranteed to boost my mood. On a day when I was feeling down, I would try and do my hair and makeup with a little more attention than usual.

By putting on a smile I found that even though I was pretending- it would actually help improve my mood. I have carried this through my life and call it what you like - vanity, faking it, not being real - I don't care - it works for me and that's what matters.

Further to that, as I am getting older I really know that feeling good about the way I look, helps me to face the world and cope with stressors.

I'm not suggesting for a minute that by looking good eliminates stress, it's simply one of the tools I have in my resource kit to help me feel present.

Keeping my weight in check, looking after my skin, doing my hair are my basic 'go -to' personal feel-goods."
