26 year old Katie had no idea that chronic stress and resulting skin inflammation was just around the corner.
16 year old Katie had no idea that acne was on its way, not once or twice, but three times. Each cycle different.
They’ll both battle with getting a handle on it, unsolicited opinions from other “skin professionals” that were unasked for and also unhelpful, as well as comments from friends and family. It’s tough.
I wish I could go back and help each of them through it with what I know now. I’d definitely have done things differently.
But.. I know that I genuinely empathise with what my clients go through. Skin issues aren’t simply a superficial problem. The emotional impact can be huge.
That’s why it’s important to have support with your skin journey✨🤍
Nervous system regulation isn’t always slowing down and “relaxing”.
Whilst I do agree skin and massage treatments can help temporarily decrease your stress levels, it doesn’t change things long term.
I think the key really is to connect to yourself and understand what your needs are so that you can learn how to manage your stress.
I’m a huge advocate for therapy, and therapy helped me to reconnect to myself and begin this process, to which I’m forever grateful 🤍
When it comes to inflammatory or acne skins that are triggered by stress (like me!) this will always be a sticking point until you do the work to resolve it.
I will always make a point of discussing this in consultation because honestly if five years ago somebody had told me the root of my issues was my high stress levels and dysregulated nervous system, i’d kiss their feet! Five years is too long to struggle.
I can’t solve every issue for you, sometimes you may need another practitioners help and I’ll always refer on where needed, and we can pause treatments whilst you do that if necessary. Getting you to where you need to be is the top priority ✨🤍
A subtle shift I’ve made these past two weeks is to stand throughout skin treatments and I can’t believe how much I prefer it! ✨
From feeling more efficient with my treatments, and finding it easier to work around the room without disrupting your peace, to actually feeling more energised throughout the day 🧡
It’s something that I doubt you’ll even notice! But please don’t let me forget to lower the bed so you don’t have to jump down at the end 🙃
Although if you catch me sitting don’t give me grief, I probably just need another coffee 🥲

I had the loveliest time at the Nimue UK skin therapist awards on Sunday ✨🤍
Surrounded by such talented therapists, beautiful energy and a brand that I’m genuinely so proud to work with ☺️
Being awarded therapist of the month last April means so much to me. Nimue has played a huge part in shaping the direction of my business the last few years. It’s been a dream to work with a skincare line that delivers incredible results for my clients, and I’m so grateful for the opportunities, education and support that I’ve had along the way 🤍
Here’s to many more celebrations! 😉 🥂
And congratulations again to Hannah for winning UK skin therapist of the year 🎉
He knew who he was marrying 😉

I have a second treatment room available in my studio at Ransomwood Estate, inside The Firs wellbeing centre.
If you’ve been here before you’ll know how quiet and tucked away we are. It’s such a nice escape from the busyness of town!
I’d love to find someone who offers calm and restorative treatments. The kind where clients fully switch off for an hour or more.
You’d be completely self employed and independent from Skinterest, but I’d really like to offer something collaborative too.. Someone I can genuinely recommend clients to and support you in your growth.
I’ve been in the wellbeing industry a long time now, and know just how valuable it is to be in the right environment, so I’d love this to be a really positive space for somebody to grow their business in.
There’s also the option for a monthly coffee catch up if you want a bit of support, a space to share ideas, or just chat with somebody who gets it.
If this sounds aligned to you, or a good fit for somebody you know, send me a message and tell me a bit about what you do 🤍
Clients and friends - please share 🤍 you never know who might be looking for their next workspace ✨
If I had £1 for every time I said… 🫠
I know how amazing your skin feels after a facial ✨
But remember… we don’t touch! We don’t touch! We don’t touch!
Your skin is still working away after you’re long gone from the studio, so just let it do its thing and don’t interfere! 🤍
It’s not listed on the dress code, but you know your skin needs to look its best ✨
This is the skin treatment you book when the occasion matters, because you’re going to show up as your best self.
A step up from your usual facial.
Designed to deeply hydrate, refine and bring out that ‘lit from within’ glow..
The kind where make up just sits better.
And your skin looks fresher, smoother, healthier.
It’s not a trend or a gimmick under a ring light.
Just skin that looks better immediately and continues to improve over time ✨
This is her skin from one treatment, I can’t wait to see it after three! 😍
New treatment launching next month ✨
Trust me.. you’ll want this in your pre-event routine 👀
