About


I am driven by a genuine passion for enhancing people's lives and ensuring their comfort and happiness. With 37 years of experience as a qualified hairdresser and makeup artist, I have honed my skills in various areas of the industry. Beyond my professional expertise, I have also provided compassionate care for individuals with a range of conditions, including dementia/Alzheimer's, depression, Autism, Asperger's, ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, and auditory processing disorder. My ability to empathise, exhibit patience, and demonstrate respect for diverse abilities allows me to create a positive and supportive environment. I possess the valuable skills of remaining composed under pressure, problem-solving, and offering alternative solutions when needed. Additionally, my cheerful demeanor and unwavering reliability have been appreciated by those I have worked with. I have also had the pleasure of teaching jiujitsu to children aged 3 to teenagers . Once a month I also have the pleasure of teaching a group of special needs adults yoga, fitness circuit and jiujitsu. Over the past three years as a support worker, I have had the privilege of assisting clients with Parkinson's, Cerebral palsy, Tourette syndrome, and depression. Seeing them embrace life to the fullest of their abilities has been incredibly fulfilling. Now, I am excited to extend my services to even more remarkable individuals, bringing smiles to their faces and joy to their hearts. I can adapt my skills for any age group and any ability from helping them get ready and looking great for their day Training together and helping to learn a new skill yoga jiujitsu Muay Thai or CrossFit Shopping going to the movies or outdoor activities Help with cooking or baking I’m willing to learn and adapt to what makes my client happy
