My Story
Even from a young age, I have always been passionate about taking care of my skin and in the year 2003 I began working in the Plastic Surgery sector and was able to witness the long term results of non-surgical anti-ageing treatments as they evolved onto the cosmetics market. This lead me to realise that although the surgeons knife is a seemingly quick fix in reversing the signs of ageing such as lose skin, it was the non-surgical skin treatments that could hold off the hands of time and improve skin structure, laxity and luminosity. Working closely within the sector also gave me the opportunity to try the treatments for myself and be able to ascertain if I felt they acheived the desired results from both my own experience and client feedback.
Seeing the results from aesthetic treatments wasn’t enough, I wanted to understand how the skin the skins cellular structure functioned, how skin conditions such as acne develop and if it was indeed possible to exponentially slow the ageing process using cellular regenerative treatments and advanced cosmeceutical skin care products. This lead me to study Advanced Skin Science, Skin Microbiology, Advanced Infection Control in aesthetic Practice, Nutrition for the Skin and Advanced Investigative consultation and Diagnosis leading to a Diploma in Advanced Skin Studies and Aesthetic Practice. I take my ongoing education seriously, investing in the most prestigious courses and ensuring that I am fully knowledgeable and competent in my field. Wanting to share my knowledge with others, I achieved my teaching and assessor qualifications in 2021 and I am now the lead educator for skin related studies and Aesthetics at a prestigious Aesthetics academy.
Due to my extensive studies into the skin’s behaviour and its needs, when I consult with a client I include a thorough assessment of their lifestyle, including stress levels, nutrition, current skincare regime and sun exposure all of which will impact the skins health. I can then devise a unique treatment plan for each client addressing their individual skin needs ensuring the best results. After all, our skin is always on show and our confidence can be greatly affected when we do not feel our best. My aim is for you to feel incredible bare faced and to treat your skin as your biggest long term beauty investment.

Our Philosophy
Opia Radiance was born from a passion for glowing, healthy skin. Every client’s treatment plan is bespoke due to our advanced skin consultation process ensuring that the skin is supported both inside and out.

This is why you are provided with individualised expert advice on how to support your skin both dietary and product wise.
During your treatment we want you to truly relax and feel at ease. The treatment room environment has been designed to cater to your every comfort, ensuring that after your treatment has finished you will feel renewed and refreshed. It is our aim that everybody should feel able to embrace their natural beauty and feel confident when bare faced.
