ABOUT ME
My Background
Hi, I’m Michelle - a VTCT Level 3 therapist with advanced training in professional skincare and device-led treatments.
Prior to launching Forever Young Beauty, I spent over 20 years in a senior corporate role — a fast-paced, high-pressure environment that eventually took its toll on my well-being (and skin!). Experiencing persistent, cystic breakouts sparked a deep interest in understanding skin biology: how stress affects the skin, how the barrier functions, and why overly aggressive treatments often make concerns worse.
That experience fuels my passion for helping clients achieve long-term skin health through tailored, results-driven treatments. I focus on building strong, resilient skin over time, combining science-led results with indulgence — because taking time for yourself is just as important as the treatment itself. Advanced skincare doesn’t need to feel clinical; it can be both highly effective and deeply restorative.
My Approach
I don’t believe in quick fixes.
I've tried it - it doesn't work.
Healthy, glowing skin is built through consistency, education, and the right professional guidance. That’s why I offer consultations and personalised treatment plans — ensuring every approach considers the bigger picture, from the skin’s microbiome and barrier function, to gut health, stress levels, and sleep quality.
Skin doesn’t need to be treated aggressively to improve. In fact, some of the most powerful results come from respecting how the skin truly functions. I’m passionate about respecting skin biology — supporting the barrier, working with the skin rather than against it, and choosing treatments based on science, not trends. When we understand how the skin heals, regenerates, and responds, we can create meaningful, long-term change without unnecessary trauma or over-treatment.
Time with Me
Forever Young Beauty was created to offer more than just treatments. It’s a calm, private, professional space where you can completely switch off and relax — while knowing you're in expert hands.
Having previously worked in a high-pressure job, I understand just how precious time can be - and how easy it is to put yourself last. Treatments should feel restorative, but they should also be purposeful. Every service is designed with intention — combining relaxation and well-being with visible results.
Beyond Beauty
I live in Tongham with my husband, Richard, and our Spaniel, Percy. Outside of the salon, you’ll usually find me out walking the dog, planning my next qualification, or balancing my love of food with the occasional run! I love meeting people and enjoy a good chat — which is why I always leave extra time between appointments.
