I am a massage and nail therapist, providing the treatments in your own home.

When I came to London it was like flying into the unknown… Big and scary place but also magical. I didn’t  speak English!!! I am proud of finding my way, and being happy here.

I love markets and shopping there. It is amazing. So much character and interesting items to explore. Chic&seek is a uniq  gem in this special part of Holland park. So many stories and histories get shared here or stay hidden, and create bonds between people that might have never met before. I admire Tara for her courage and creativity.

My family. My husband and my wonderful children.

It has to be a cardigan I bought from Anya Hindmarch. I can wear it in the park to keep me warm but also to dress up and look fabulous.

Boots that I bought about 15 years ago. I knew I couldn’t walk in them but bought them anyway. To make things worse I wore them to work…. The pain was so bad I made my way home bare foot early evening. Lots of strange looks from people going home from work.

Always look on the bright side of life!!!
