We’re kicking off our Get to Know the Team series with the one and only Steph, our microneedling maestro, festival-lover, and all-round skincare educator. She brings a brilliant mix of clinical expertise, humour, and real talk to every appointment. If you haven’t met her yet, this is your chance to see why her clients love her (and her obsession with juicy, hydrated skin).
First things first – what’s your go-to coffee order?
Honestly? I don’t drink caffeine, I’m already on what feels like medicinal speed! I’m more of a fruity drink girl, something fun and non-caffeinated. Basically, I’m a five-year-old at heart and proud of it.
How do you like to start your day?
I usually wake up slightly furious at the world, then shake it off and head to Storm Fitness. That place gets me feeling fantastic…it’s my version of therapy. Bit of exercise, bit of endorphins, and I’m good to go.
What do you get up to outside of clinic?
I’m all about music, being outdoors, and getting to festivals. Glastonbury is my happy place (next to my husband, of course). That’s my version of freedom and fun.
What’s one thing people are usually surprised to hear about you?
Me and Kirsty once demanded an emergency landing on a plane to help a really unwell passenger. We’re both nurses, so we assessed the situation and made the call, next thing you know, we’re literally telling the crew to “land the plane”. It felt like we were in a Hollywood film. But hey, we knew what we were doing!
Tell us a bit about your journey into aesthetics?
I was a Sister in ICU for years, and worked across A&E, coronary care, special care baby unit – you name it. I’ve also trained others in wound closure, which is where my deep interest in skin healing started.
But what really drew me to aesthetics was my own experience with acne and oily skin. I’ve battled it for years, and still do, so helping others navigate their skin journey is personal for me. I love being that person who finally finds a formula that works when someone feels like they’ve tried everything. It’s the best feeling.
What do you love most about working at Ametrine?
The people…both our clients and the team. Every day is full of fun, laughs, and real chats. The clinic is in the heart of the city, the vibe is relaxed and inclusive, and we get to make a difference while having a great time doing it.
What makes Ametrine different from other clinics?
We genuinely invest in you. It’s not just about the treatment, we listen, get to know your goals, and build a plan that fits you. That might mean working with your lifestyle, your budget, or your long-term skin goals. Everyone’s welcome, and no one gets a cookie-cutter experience here.
What’s your favourite treatment to give right now?
I’ve always loved microneedling, but I’m buzzing about Exosomes at the moment. We’ve introduced them to the clinic and the results have been incredible. I’ve had them myself, and the difference in texture, healing time, and overall glow is just wild.
Exosomes work by promoting collagen, boosting hydration, improving texture…all the good stuff your skin needs when it’s feeling a bit dull or congested. They’re amazing for acne scarring, pigmentation, and even hair loss. We’ve got a range of Exosome options now depending on your skin goals.
And what’s your favourite treatment to get?
At the moment? I’m loving skin boosters. They just make my skin feel so juicy and hydrated, like it’s had a big glass of water. But my ultimate go-to is chemical peels. I’ve got acne-prone skin and when I feel it flaring up, a few well-timed peels calm everything right down. They’re a must in my routine.
What’s your number one tip for looking after your skin at home?
SPF. Always. Please.
But beyond that , actually learn about your skin. Don’t just get sucked into flashy marketing or influencer fads. Figure out your skin type, your main concerns, how sensitive it is, and what it actually needs.
And if you’re not sure where to start, book in with me. I love teaching clients how to care for their skin, not just selling products or treatments. It’s about giving you the knowledge to look after your skin for the long run…not just a quick fix.
Ride or die skincare product?
Easy. SPF…always. But my current obsession is the Neova Silc Sheer SPF 50. It’s a moisturiser, skin tint, and sun protection all in one. Gives an unreal glow, is water resistant (perfect for holidays), and it’s packed with antioxidants and DNA-repair enzymes. Basically, it protects and repairs your skin. What more could you want?
