I have a multitude of certificates relating to Beauty Therapy, that I have achieved and trained for during my years in the industry. Once I closed down the Beauty side of my business, my sole interest was in Electrolysis and that is reflected in the amount of CPD dedicated to this subject area.

Non Electrolysis Training included training in  Dermalogica, St Tropez Tanning,  Bio Therapeutics Face and Body Toning, Sothys, Guinot, (for which I was a top 100 Therapist in the country),  Clarins, Clarins Paris method for face and body, Murad, Matis, Elemis, Espa, Eve Taylor Skin Care,( I was a trainer for them for several years),  Hot Stone Massage, Aromatherapy, Minx Nails, CND Nails,  Nailtiques, Eye lash perming, Threading,  among other industry training. 

As part of the Terms of the BIAE, I am obliged and Committed to completing CPD regularly to maintain my skills in this area of expertise. I am passionate about continually updating my skills for the benefit of myself and my clients so please check back here to see further training and CPD I have and will be embarking on.
