Our Story
I’m the driving force behind the National Aesthetics Training Academy.
I bring 28 years of nursing experience and 14 years working in aesthetic medicine, with a career built on patient safety, professional standards and evidence-based practice.
These experiences shaped my commitment to raising the bar in UK aesthetics.
NATA reflects that journey and my belief that education should be high-quality, regulated and future-proof.
I founded the National Aesthetics Training Academy in 2020—yes, right when Covid struck.
Since then, I’ve taught learners at every stage of their aesthetic journey.
I’ve delivered product training for major brands including Vivacy, Fillmed and Derma Focus.
I’ve also provided CPD courses in dermal fillers, botulinum toxin, skin boosters, microneedling, polynucleotides and complications management.
My focus has always been competence, confidence and safe clinical practice.
In 2023, I shifted from “training” to delivering regulated education.
NATA developed the Level 7 Diploma in Clinical Aesthetic Injectable Therapies with the goal of creating a gold-standard qualification.
To achieve this, the team at NATA worked with the JCCP and partnered with OTHM—one of only two awarding bodies recognised by the JCCP. Choosing the right awarding body was vital, because not all qualifications meet the same national standards.This partnership ensures every learner receives credible, high-quality, recognised education.NATA then pursued full JCCP approval—a rigorous and detailed process.
The JCCP reviewed every part of the academy, from programme delivery to materials, support and teaching premises.
Approval was granted in early 2024, giving NATA the highest level of endorsement available in the UK. It guarantees that graduates will be recognised when national licensing for aesthetic practice becomes law. For learners, this provides long-term protection, credibility and career security.
Future-proofing my students is central to everything I do.
NATA launched Level 3, 4 and 5 OTHM qualifications for both healthcare and non-healthcare practitioners.These programmes offer clear, high-quality pathways into regulated aesthetic education.
Every qualification is designed to develop safe, skilled and confident practitioners.
My commitment is to support learners at every stage of their professional journey.
NATA will continue to evolve as aesthetic medicine evolves.
Whatever the future holds—licensing, new regulations or rising standards—myself and the team at NATA remain committed to excellence.
Our mission is simple: deliver quality, flexibility and real value for money at every stage.
NATA stands for standards, integrity and safe practice. And I stand firmly behind the future of regulated, ethical aesthetic education in the UK.
