Our founder

From plastic surgery nursing to leading aesthetics.

Hello, and welcome. I'm Melody Steel, a Nurse Prescriber. I qualified in 1999 and worked at the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery unit of St James's Hospital, where I learned the disciplines that still shape my work today: anatomy, physiology, safety, and precision.

In 2007 I established my own aesthetics practice — bringing the discipline of that unit into a private setting. The setting changed; the standards did not.

“What matters most to me is that you feel safe, listened to, and comfortable in the chair.”
