Where my expertise meets the science of corneotherapy, treatments are designed to restore and protect your skin’s natural barrier while delivering visible results.
Equilibrium specialises in innovative fascia release facials that naturally lift and sculpt, alongside comprehensive skin treatments using only skin-identical ingredients. Your journey extends beyond the treatment room with personalised nutrition protocols featuring Zinzino supplements for optimal cellular health.
In this comfortable, professional space, every treatment is backed by scientific research and 15+ years of specialised expertise, ensuring you receive only what your skin truly needs, never what it doesn’t.
At Equilibrium, true transformation comes from intelligent, evidence-based care.
With over 20 years in the skin industry, I’ve never stopped learning. Alongside my corneotherapy qualifications, I’ve gone deeper into skin science and cosmetic chemistry, because understanding what’s actually happening at a cellular level, and what’s really in the products you’re using, is what separates genuine results from guesswork. I’m a complete skin science nerd at heart, and that curiosity shapes everything I do, both in the treatment room and in the homecare regimes I build for you.
I chose to build my entire practice around corneotherapy because once you start feeding the skin with the ingredients it actually loves, there’s just no comparison.
Corneotherapy is a science backed approach to skin health that prioritises the skin barrier above all else. Rather than stripping the skin with harsh actives or masking symptoms with quick fixes, it works at a cellular level, using skin identical ingredients and biomimetic formulations to repair and strengthen the skin’s natural defences. Conditions like sensitivity, hormonal breakouts, redness, and persistent dryness so often trace back to a compromised barrier, and real, lasting change starts by restoring that.
I struggled with adult acne myself, so I know what it’s like to try everything and still not get anywhere. And that’s a large part of what drives me now. It’s why I don’t sell quick fixes or the latest trend, and why I care so much about getting to the actual cause of what’s happening in your skin.
Every client starts with an in-depth skin consultation and skin analysis, whether that’s in person at my locations in Hartwith, Elland and Silsden or online, so I understand what’s really going on beneath the surface before recommending anything. From there, I develop a personalised treatment plan built specifically for you, your budget, and your goals. This may include my somatic and fascialift facials, combining myofascial release, lymphatic drainage, buccal microcurrent, and massage to lift, sculpt, and support the skin from a deeper level, and microneedling where appropriate, always paired with a skin identical home regime designed around your skin’s individual needs. My aim isn’t just visible results, it’s for you to leave every appointment with knowledge and confidence about how to look after your own skin.
Ageing is a privilege not everyone gets to experience, yet it’s often treated as something to fight rather than understand. Many of my clients are navigating all stages of the menopause, though my work spans far more than that, from hormonal breakouts and sensitivity to barrier damage and redness. Whatever’s going on with yours, I believe treating it should feel like an act of care, not a battle. Book a skin consultation in person at my treatment rooms in Hartwith, Elland, or Silsden, or online via video consultation.

Let’s clear something up straight away: corneotherapy has nothing to do with eyes (despite what the name suggests!) It’s actually all about skin-restoring and strengthening your skin barrier at a cellular level, so your skin can finally start working with you, not against you.
You know those people whose skin just glows? The ones who look effortlessly fresh, calm and healthy? While you’re dealing with hormonal breakouts and sensitivity, they look effortlessly fresh and balanced. It’s not luck or “good genes.” It’s because they’re giving their skin what it actually needs. And that’s exactly what I help my clients achieve.
My journey to Equilibrium wasn’t overnight. I’ve been a business owner for many years, building expertise and refining my approach. But 2020 marked a pivotal turning point for me. When perimenopause hit like a wrecking ball—turning my mental and physical health upside down—I discovered firsthand how conventional approaches were failing women like us. This personal struggle ignited a fierce passion for clean living and bio-harmonising methods that actually work when hormones decide to rewrite all the rules.
I’ve spent over 20 years immersed in the world of skin, training with some of the most respected corneotherapy institutions and becoming a proud member of the international Association of Corneotherapy (IAC). I understand how perimenopausal and menopausal changes affect your skin—because I’ve been there myself.
My passion lies in cutting through the confusion and misinformation in skincare, helping my clients achieve real, lasting results with solutions that are backed by science, not marking hype.
My approach at Equilibrium is refreshingly different: No over-exfoliation, no aggressive treatments, and absolutely no chasing quick fixes that leave your skin barrier compromised. Instead, I focus on rebuilding your skin from the inside out with biomimetic ingredients that your skin recognises and knows how to use to repair, restore and rejuvenate your skin.
What truly sets my treatments apart is my expertise in facial fascia release and advanced hands-on techniques, such as Buccal (intra-oral) and Cupping. I complement effective product solutions by working directly with your facial tissue to release tension, improve circulation, and stimulate natural collagen production. These specialised methods bring genuine lift and definition to your features without invasive procedures—giving you that sculpted, refreshed look that comes from working with your body’s natural processes, not fighting against them.
I exclusively partner with evidence-based, results-driven brands for both functional skincare and internal well-being, brands that align with my ‘skin first’ philosophy, delivering results without unnecessary aggression. This isn’t about purchasing products from the latest influencer or wasting money on the “fingers crossed this works” approach—it’s about investing in what genuinely works for YOUR unique skin.
Imagine waking up to skin that feels calm, resilient, and radiant—no more unpredictable sensitivity, no more persistent dryness, and no more guesswork. Whether you’re navigating hormonal breakouts or wanting to work on age management, without injectables, your transformation can begin relatively quickly with the right approach.
There are various ways to work with me, from in-clinic treatments to fully personalised homecare plans. If you’re ready to ditch the cycle of sensitivity, dehydration, and breakouts—for good—take a look at the Skin Coaching section or book a consultation to begin your journey to skin that thrives at every stage of life.
When it comes to transforming skin health, I refuse to compromise. That’s why I’ve chosen Dermaviduals as my corneotherapeutic skincare partner of choice.
Unlike conventional brands that rely on emulsifiers and preservatives that disrupt your skin barrier, Dermaviduals pioneered the revolutionary DMS® (Derma Membrane Structure) technology that actually mimics your skin’s natural biology.
Their formulations contain ingredients that are found in your skin cells, creating products that your skin recognises as “self” rather than foreign invaders. This means active ingredients aren’t just sitting on your skin; they’re being transported precisely where they need to work through advanced liposomal delivery systems.
Dermaviduals allows me the flexibility and precision of being able to custom-blend targeted active ingredients for your specific skin concerns; whether it’s strengthening capillaries, reducing inflammation, or supporting collagen production, creating truly bespoke skincare that evolves with your skin. The difference isn’t just visible; it’s measurable in the form of a stronger, more resilient barrier that continues improving over time.
I’ve partnered with Zinzino, a test-based pharmaconutrition brand that takes cellular health as seriously as I do. Their evidence-driven approach uses dry spot blood testing to verify results—no guesswork, just measurable outcomes.
These food grade, premium formulations don’t just support your skin cells but optimise whole-body cellular health. It’s about futureproofing your health, not just managing symptoms…perfectly complementing my external corneotherapeutic approach for comprehensive, lasting results.
