My background

A nursing career built on clinical excellence

I qualified as a Registered Nurse in 2000 and have worked across a wide range of clinical specialties including cardiac care, trauma, respiratory medicine and neurosurgery. For 20 years, I worked as a Critical Care Sister within the NHS before making the decision in March 2024 to dedicate myself fully to my aesthetics clinic.

I am an Independent Nurse Prescriber with a BSc in Nursing & Human Sciences, an MSc in Advanced Clinical Practice, and a Level 7 qualification in Aesthetic Practice — a postgraduate-level qualification academically equivalent to Master's degree study.

My Level 7 qualification in Aesthetic Practice involved advanced training in facial anatomy, consultation skills, injectable treatments, patient safety and complications management. Assessment included 60 supervised case studies alongside both practical and theoretical examinations, demonstrating advanced competency in safe and ethical aesthetic practice. The training provider is also one of the few approved by the Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners (JCCP), reflecting recognised industry standards in aesthetics education and patient safety.

I am accredited with the Aesthetics Complications Expert Group (ACE), Save Face and the Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners (JCCP). Radiant Medical Aesthetics & Wellbeing has also successfully passed Save Face's rigorous 116-point assessment, ensuring the highest standards of safety, governance, policies and clinical care are consistently maintained.

Client safety

Safety is never a compromise

Client safety is at the forefront of every consultation, treatment and review. I provide a robust aftercare and feedback system, a 24/7 helpline for support and collaborate with a local Plastic Surgeon to ensure senior surgical expertise is available if ever required. I regularly attend conferences, advanced training and clinical supervision to ensure the techniques and products I use remain of the highest possible standard.

With extensive injecting experience, I continue to expand my skills and treatment portfolio in order to provide a comprehensive, holistic approach to aesthetic medicine. Consultations are always complimentary, consent is thorough, and I would never recommend or perform a treatment unless expectations are fully managed and the clinical benefit is clear.

My commitment

Transparency, education & integrity

Working within an industry that remains largely unregulated motivates me to provide transparent, evidence-based information at all times. I continue to practise in line with my professional Code of Conduct and am passionate about helping make the aesthetics industry safer for both clients and practitioners alike. Through my website, articles and blogs, I aim to educate and empower clients so they can make informed decisions, ask the right questions and feel confident in the care they receive.

I am incredibly proud that my business continues to grow through client recommendation, and that every review received to date has been 5 stars.

I genuinely love what I do and take enormous pride in my clinic. Integrity, honesty and patient safety are never compromised, and my goal is always to deliver safe, ethical treatments that help clients feel confident and comfortable in themselves.

I work with clients across London, Essex, Kent and Sussex, and I am the Lead Practitioner at my clinic in Heathfield.
