For the last two years we have chosen one person each year to help them regain confidence. Now we'd like to do this every year.
Each week we meet wonderful people who have decided that they'd like a little help managing their appearance so that they feel more confident. The reasons include:
I'm recently divorced
I have been ill and need a pick up
I'm in menopause and just can't shift the fat areas
I feel much younger than I look and I'd like to look more like how I feel inside
I work online more now
I'm dating
I don't know where my confidence went
I hate the fat under my chin etc
This year we met Kim. She told us her story and it was harrowing to hear. We (Ruth and myself) decided we would help her find her self confidence again to help her with the journey ahead.
This is her story and her journey with us over the last 12 weeks.
Kim's story is one many women experience and we wanted to help her regain confidence and offer her support while she was transitioning.
Many of you know of my journey living with a high functioning alcoholic for many years who then died of his addiction in May 2020. I decided then that I would talk about my experiences of living with an alcoholic and to support women who have lived through similar experiences.
Kim too has been changed by living with an alcoholic and took the heart breaking and courageous decision to leave him - and her country - and rebuild her life here. Her story resonated with us and we decided we would help her on her journey by helping her to regain her confidence. We offered her support (a home, friendship, understanding and a complete body and face transformation.)
In the next few weeks we will share her journey here and also - with her permission - on social media.
It is our intention to set up a foundation this year that will help other women like myself and Kim to feel safe, regain confidence, and start a new journey. We'd love you to join us.
This is a photograph of Kim when she first arrived at the salon in mid July this year.
In our next blog we take you through some of the treatments we used to help Kim regain face and body confidence bit by bit.
If you are interested in any of the treatments mentioned or would like to help support our foundation please get in touch.
