For over thirteen years, my calling was to be a calm, reassuring presence during life's most transformative moments.

For the last six years, alongside my medical work, I have been honing my craft in the world of aesthetics. Seeing how even the most subtle, refined changes could empower people to feel more aligned and confident. This journey revealed my true purpose: to merge my two worlds.

With a degree in Midwifery and a Masters Degree in Advanced Professional Practice, I have spent my career providing expert, compassionate care. This has given me a profound respect for both the physical and emotional aspects of personal wellbeing.

This path also led me through mental health services, where I saw firsthand the powerful connection between self-image, confidence, and inner resilience. It was here I discovered my true passion: helping people feel truly comfortable and confident in their own skin.

This rare combination of clinical expertise and artistic passion is what led me to create The Modern Muse, my boutique studio nestled in the heart of Dawlish, Devon.

Here, my medical-grade understanding of anatomy and safety provides the foundation for every single treatment—from advanced skin rejuvenation and bespoke piercings to flawless microblading. I have designed it to be a welcoming, empowering space where the highest standards of care meet the art of self-expression.
 

Waiting Room

My passion for aesthetics and body piercing is rooted in that very belief: that everyone deserves to feel confident, seen, and comfortable in their own skin. With a strong foundation in clinical safety, anatomy and compassionate care, I bring a medical mindset to every treatment

At The Modern Muse, my aim is to provide a safe, welcoming, and empowering space where you can explore your individuality and enhance your natural beauty.
