My Journey as a Beauty Specialist
My Journey as a Beauty Specialist
The power of beauty comes from within and from the outside
At the age of 16, I began my training as a beauty specialist and pedicurist. I already knew then: this is my passion. At 19, I opened my own practice as a beauty specialist and pedicurist. I loved helping people with skin problems and painful feet — but I also felt that there was more to beauty than the outside alone.
That’s why I continued to learn. I completed advanced training with specializations in acne, connective tissue massage, and lymphatic drainage. I also kept developing my skills in Shiatsu, which allows me to support deeper balance within the body.
Alongside my work in the salon, I have taken many trainings, courses, and workshops — and I still do. I have also taught workshops. Sharing knowledge with others in the field is something I find incredibly valuable and enjoyable.
When I delved deeper into foot reflexology, everything clicked: when you treat the inside, it becomes visible on the outside. From that moment on, I started combining skin improvement with techniques that help bring the body into balance.
Shiatsu & Meridians: More Than a Regular Facial Massage
In my facial treatments, I work with Shiatsu techniques. Through the meridians (energy pathways in the body), I can influence:
- the hormonal system
- the body's fluid balance
- organs such as the kidneys, liver, and gallbladder
- the elimination of waste products
- the nervous system and stress levels
It is a gentle but powerful way to support the body — and you can see the results in the skin: it becomes calmer, fresher, and more vital.
Proud Moment: 2nd in the Netherlands
This combination of knowledge, results, and personal attention was recognized: in 2010, I became 2nd in the entire Netherlands within the Henriëtte Faroche brand. A beautiful acknowledgement of my dedication to the profession.
My Mission
Whether someone comes to me for skin improvement, relaxation, pain relief, or confidence:
👉 I help you feel good in your own skin
👉 and visibly improve your complexion
I also guide people dealing with stress, burnout, or cancer. Through calm, touch, and a safe environment, I help you take gradual steps from tension to relaxation — and from fear to trust.
Because a radiant complexion doesn’t start with products alone — it starts with attention. Attention for you as a person.
