Welcome, I'm Stephanie, a facialist and massage therapist. I work from my home studio in the centre of Gilmorton, Leicestershire.
Having experienced acne in my teens and twenties, learning to manage my own skin sparked my interest in skincare from a young age and led me to train as a beauty therapist in 2013.
I know first-hand how overwhelming and confusing skincare advice can be and that experience is what pushed me to develop an understanding of skin, rooted in knowledge, consistency, and long-term skin health.
My experience working as a facialist and spa therapist in luxury environments in London taught me the importance of the whole treatment experience, not just visible results, but how you feel from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave. I've always believed that the atmosphere, the care, and the small thoughtful details make all the difference and that is what I bring to every treatment.
My husband's job brought us to Leicestershire and during lockdown in 2020, we moved into our home and I took the leap to focus fully on building my own business. We converted our garage into a private garden treatment room, and in 2021 I opened my doors to my first clients. I'm so proud of the calm space I've created where I am able to provide unrushed and personalised treatments.
I'm passionate about helping people and especially women prioritise time for themselves, even in the busiest seasons of life. Since becoming a Mum, I understand more than ever how important and how difficult it can be to make time for yourself. My goal is for you to leave every treatment feeling relaxed, supported, and in a better place both physically and mentally.

My bespoke facials aim to lead you into a deep state of relaxation, not just for the face but for the whole body, whilst focusing on treating your individual needs and improving your skin's overall health. All facials include cleansing, gentle enzyme exfoliation, a combination of massage techniques and tools and application of treatments and products suited to your skin. Facials may also include other modalities, such as LED light therapy, facial muscle toning using the Pure Lift device and Buccal massage, depending on your requirements.
Like my facials, all massage treatments are focused and tailored to you and your preferences. I combine a variety of massage techniques, warm towels and calming music to deliver the ultimate massage experience. Soothing effleurage movements warm the muscles, allowing me to use deeper movements, stretches and trigger point release if and where required to alleviate muscle pain and tension. There is also the option to include hot stones.
For clients looking to take skin health to the next level. I offer SkinPen microneedling with mesotherapy. These treatments are designed to heal and strengthen the skin and stimulate collagen and elastin production. Advanced treatments are not typically performed on your first visit as I would need to get to know your skin and asses your suitability to the treatment.
Treatments developed specifically to address the body's needs during pregnancy are available to those in their second and third trimester.
The pregnancy glow facial is a bespoke facial using a combination of gentle techniques and products suitable for use during pregnancy.
Positioning will be adapted to personal preference. Often, semi-reclined positions are most comfortable, supported by cushions to ensure maximum comfort. Pregnancy massages are designed to help ease an aching back, shift fluid retention and promote a state of calm and optimum well-being, a must for any mother-to-be. You can relax lying on your front safely and comfortably with the belloost pregnancy pillow and a pregnancy-safe mandarin, rose and lavender flower aromatherapy oil is used during your treatment.
Memberships are designed to make self-care convenient and part of your routine, helping you stay consistent with your treatments, which is key to long-term results.
Your appointments are pre-booked for you at a time that suits your routine. For example, if evenings work best, your space could be 7pm on Thursday evenings every 4 weeks. If anything comes up, we can always move your appointment, but otherwise you can switch off, relax and know you have an appointment in your diary to look forward to each month. Take a look at the membership options available here.
