I am qualified to the highest industry standards and my clients receive effective, evidence-based care with a personal touch.
My Journey
Before launching Tranquilstate, I worked as a fitness practitioner across the Caribbean. Whilst working in luxury resorts such as the Ritz-Carlton and Half Moon Hotels in Jamaica and the Sandals Resort in Antigua I first encountered spa treatments. As a frequent volunteer for skincare demonstrations, I developed a deep interest in skin health and holistic well-being. This curiosity soon became my calling! In 1999, I returned to the UK to study skincare and body therapies.
Since then, I have been showing men how to take the best care of their skin and overall wellness in a World where male treatments are still developing.
What Clients Say
Many of my clients have been with me for years—some even schedule treatments while on business trips to London. My work has been recognised by the Federation of Holistic Therapists, who awarded me Highly Commended for Client Service based on independent client reviews.
Beyond the Studio
I’ve also had the privilege of volunteering at Whipps Cross Hospital, offering palliative and end-of-life care to patients before the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s experiences like this that remind me just how powerful human connection and care can be.
My Philosophy and ‘why’
When I started in this industry it was very much targeted towards the female market and treatments for men were very limited. Male therapists were not common, and their roles were often marginalised. That’s why I established Tranquilstate skincare a private, purpose-built studio in a luxury garden setting where I could provide professional grooming and tailored skincare treatments focused on improving men’s body confidence and to making them feel comfortable in their own skin.
My commitment to delivering exceptional care is evident in my loyal international clientele many of whom prioritise a visit to Tranquilstate Skincare whilst on business trips to London. My dedication has also earned me industry recognition, including the accolade of Highly Commended by the Federation of Holistic Therapists Excellence Award for Client Service, an honour based on independent client reviews.
I also volunteer with a small charity that supports isolated elders, fostering social connection through regular visits and shared dining experiences.
