The Day I Realised I Was Holding Myself Back

For years, I thought my skin controlled me.

Every breakout, every scar, every flare-up chipped away at my confidence. I felt like a victim of my own body — like I’d been dealt an unfair hand and there was nothing I could do but try every product and hope for a miracle.

But one day, something clicked.

I realised that I wasn’t powerless. I wasn’t broken.
I was actually holding myself back by living in a victim mentality.

And when I chose to shift out of that space, everything changed.

The Mindset Shift That Changed Everything

Here it is, plain and simple:

💫 I stopped waiting for a quick fix, and I started owning my healing.

Instead of obsessively hustling for the next product or treatment, I chose to step back and see the bigger picture. Healing my skin wasn’t about one cream or one pill. It was about creating harmony in my body, my emotions, and my habits.

And most importantly, it was about deciding that I was the creator of my...

My Story: The Girl Who Hated Her Skin

For years, my life revolved around my skin.

Acne. Redness. Breakouts that felt like they would never end. I avoided mirrors, avoided photos, and avoided being seen.

I couldn’t leave the house without heavy makeup layered on. And even when I did, I still felt exposed, ashamed, and trapped.

It wasn’t just acne. It was skin dysmorphia and deep self-hatred.

I believed that until my skin was perfect, I wasn’t worthy. Not of confidence, not of love, not of life.

The Turning Point

But one day, I realised something had to change.

I was exhausted from waiting for my skin to save me. Exhausted from putting my whole life on hold until my reflection looked different.

So I made a terrifying choice: to stop waiting.

I started working with my Skin Triangle Method™ — not just fixing my skincare routine, but learning to support my body internally, and most importantly, to heal emotionally.

The first time I left the house without makeup, my heart ...

Elle’s Story: Why Confidence Can’t Wait for Perfect Skin

When Elle first came to me, she carried years of acne, scarring, and insecurity with her. Every morning felt like a battle with her reflection. She told me she hated leaving the house without heavy makeup — because it felt like the only way to hide.

She believed confidence was something she’d only “earn” after her skin was flawless.

But here’s the truth I’ve seen again and again: confidence doesn’t come after perfect skin. Confidence is what allows your skin to finally heal.

The Shift: Working with the Skin Triangle™

When Elle stepped into my world, we began with the Skin Triangle Method™ — my signature approach that focuses on the three interconnected layers of skin healing:

🌿 Topical → barrier-safe products that support, not strip.
🥗 Internal → nutrition + lifestyle shifts that calm inflammation.
💌 Emotional → nervous system regulation + rewriting the stories we tell ourselves.

Elle was already trying hard on the fir...

Olivia’s Story: Why Confidence Matters More Than “Perfect Skin”

When Olivia first reached out to me, she wasn’t battling cystic acne or rosacea flare-ups like many of my clients. Her skin wasn’t “bad” by anyone else’s standards.

But to her? Something was missing.

She told me she wanted to glow on her wedding day. Not just in her skin, but in how she felt in herself. She wanted to walk down the aisle radiant, confident, and fully present — not distracted by self-consciousness or second-guessing how she looked.

And I understood her immediately, because here’s the truth:
👉 Skin confidence isn’t about how much acne you do or don’t have.
👉 It’s about the relationship you have with your skin.

Olivia didn’t need a miracle product. What she needed was to stop doubting herself, and to finally feel at peace in her own skin.

When Olivia joined me, the first thing we did was bring in my Skin Triangle Method™.
