Hi, I’m Nona Maria – A Skin Expert and Beauty Educator with a deep passion for skin care, and mental wellness. With over 20 years of experience in skin care, reflexology and wellness, I’ve extended my expertise beyond skincare studies and holistic therapies, specializing in Mental Health and Mindfulness, CBT, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Neuroplasticity and support for Depression. In the field of skincare, I have had the honor of training with esteemed experts from my native Romania, where the Eastern European approach to beauty is closely aligned with medical education. My training was rigorous, encompassing the study of chemistry, product science, physics, anatomy, physiology, and muscle insertion techniques, as well as recognizing various skin conditions and their treatments. This strong foundation from my homeland, combined with further education from experts from France and New Jersey, empowers me to offer informed and effective treatments for all my clients. In London, I graduated with Honors and Distinction from international aesthetic boards such as CIDESCO and CIBTAC, earning Beauty Teaching Qualifications from The Guild Board. Driven by my passion for anti-aging and youthful skin, I have designed treatments that do more than just enhance your appearance—they relax and rejuvenate your entire being.
