Introduction
​
Every journey in beauty and aesthetics begins with a story. For me, it started with a personal battle against Acne Vulgaris—an affliction that impacts both skin and spirit. This struggle ignited a passion to heal and transform skin from within.
​
In 1995, I began my professional education, earning qualifications in CIDESCO, CIBTEC, and ITEC Level 3. Shortly after, I launched my first business, unaware that it was the start of a 30-year journey of mastering skin care. By 2003, my curiosity expanded into Nutrition, understanding the profound connection between diet, lifestyle, and skin health. I became one of Ireland’s pioneering educators in aesthetic treatments, teaching Skin Peels, Microdermabrasion, Microneedling, and Microblading.
​
In 2010, during a recession, I founded Saffron Rouge, a business built on resilience and dedication to advanced skin care. Along the way, I became a skincare ambassador, trainer, and distributor for Glyskincare (now Novaclear), a phenomenal brand addressing over 40 skin conditions.
The pursuit of excellence led me to further my education with ITEC Levels 4, 5, and 6, specializing in Chemical Peels, Tattoo Removal, Mesotherapy, and Plasmapen treatments. Progressing into Aesthetic Nursing, I mastered advanced techniques like Chemical Peels, Filler Injectables, and Microsclerotherapy, which I now practice and teach to help others achieve healthy, radiant skin.
In 2018, I became Beauty Editor for RSVP Magazine, sharing my expertise on skin health and beauty. Honored as Best Skincare Professional in the 2023 RSVP Awards, I continued to advocate for excellence in the industry.
Accepted into Dnipro Medical Institute in Ukraine, I completed two years of medical studies before the war forced me to pause. Despite the challenges, my transcripts enabled me to achieve my next milestone: graduating from UCD's Charles Institute of Dermatology in 2024.
Most recently, we gained approval as national trainers for Lemonbottle and Lipolax Fat Dissolving treatments. With CPD accreditation, I’m proud to mentor aspiring professionals, continuing my commitment to innovation and education in aesthetics.
