MY STORY

I’ve spent more than 34 years in the beauty and spa industry, and if there’s one thing I’ve learnt, it’s that the most memorable treatments aren’t necessarily the most complicated. They’re the ones that make you feel something.

My journey began at just 18, with a fascination for skin, beauty and the power of touch. Over the years, that fascination grew into a career that included 20 years owning and operating Cove Spa, and eventually led me to where I am today — educating beauty professionals through Spa Poetry.

Throughout my career, I’ve always been drawn to the connection between the physical and emotional experience of a treatment. How tension in the body can influence the face. How the nervous system responds to touch. And how a therapist’s presence can be just as important as their technique.

It’s this philosophy that inspired Spa Poetry — the art of touch, written on skin.

Today, my focus is on sharing the knowledge and experience I’ve gathered over the decades, combining facial anatomy, lymphatic drainage, fascia, sculpting techniques and mindful touch to help beauty professionals develop greater confidence, understanding and intention in their work.

I believe that when we understand the body beneath our hands, we become better therapists. And when we bring genuine presence into the treatment room, we create an experience that goes beyond the skin.

A beautiful chapter — Tranquilosphere

Some years ago, my mother Merrilyn and I recognised something that many therapists will understand. A client can be lying perfectly still on a treatment bed, yet their mind is racing. Sometimes, just as they finally begin to switch off, their treatment is coming to an end.

We wanted to find a way to help clients settle into that peaceful state sooner.

Combining my experience in the spa industry with Merrilyn’s passion for meditation and holistic wellbeing, we created Tranquilosphere — a collection of guided meditations designed specifically for the spa, salon and clinic environment.

From pre-treatment mindfulness to meditations for LED light therapy and longer relaxation experiences, Tranquilosphere has become a beautiful addition to the treatment experience.

Although Merrilyn is less involved in the day-to-day business today, her voice remains at the heart of many of our recordings, and I’m incredibly proud of what we created together.

Tranquilosphere now lives within Spa Poetry, bringing together two things I’m deeply passionate about: the power of intentional touch and the importance of giving the mind permission to rest.

Where I am today

Whether I’m teaching a therapist to understand the anatomy beneath their hands, guiding them through a new facial technique or helping them introduce mindfulness into their treatments, my intention is always the same.

To encourage a more thoughtful, connected and confident approach to facial therapy.

Because beautiful treatments aren’t simply about what we do with our hands.

They’re about how we make someone feel.
