Gut health is something that is so important to so many aspects of your health. I have realised that gut health is integral to skin care and treatments – so many conditions link back to the gut, and have roots in antibiotic use, leaky gut syndrome, long term dieting, fad diets, eating disorders, and food […]

Facial laser hair removal is a huge part of what I do here, as unwanted facial hair can be quite traumatic for any woman, so […]

I thought my blog this week could be from a slightly different perspective as I received a lovely email from one of my clients who perfectly described her experience of an online consultation and what happens when you get in touch with me (and indeed how people find […]
