I completed my medical training at St Mary's Hospital Medical School, London (now Imperial College School of Medicine). After qualifying as a General Practitioner I developed a special interest in Dermatology and in 2007 I passed the Diploma in Dermatology, the result of a year long course at Cardiff University. Whilst studying for the Diploma I became interested in the effects of ageing on the skin and therefore decided to train with specialists in Harley Street and Oxford to develop my expertise in carrying out the treatments offered by The Beauty Doctor. To complement this I also trained as a make up artist and joined the International Make Up Assocation. This helps finish the look that the client wants to achieve.

I believe you need an holistic approach when it comes to the skin and that you can only look good outside if you correct what's on the inside. If you're anxious or depressed about anything in life, including how you look, then that's going to affect your self confidence, how you live your life, and how you age. If a woman is happy with her looks then she's more likely to be happier, more confident, and age better. However it's also about prevention - that means a meticulous skin care regime using good quality products, not smoking, healthy eating, plenty of water and sleep, and regular exercise.
