Meet The Team

Claire began her career in financial services, most recently working as an Investment Analyst until 2025. With a long-standing personal interest in anti-ageing, skin health, and evidence-based wellness, she made the decision to step away from finance to pursue a more patient-focused and purpose-driven path, founding Illuminate Aesthetics.

Her interest in aesthetics developed gradually over time, influenced in part by a close family member who owns an established clinic in the UK. Following this journey sparked a deeper curiosity about the science behind skin health and ageing, ultimately leading Claire to retrain and build her own clinic grounded in safety, education, and subtle, natural results.

Claire is particularly passionate about consultation-led care and believes that informed, honest guidance is central to achieving long-term confidence and trust. She has enjoyed sharing her knowledge with her existing professional network, many of whom have followed her into this next chapter and now attend the clinic themselves.

Outside of the clinic, Claire is married to Joel and is a mum to two girls, Georgia and Annabelle. She enjoys running, going to the gym, and maintaining an active, balanced lifestyle.

Nurse Sam is an experienced Aesthetic Nurse and Independent Prescriber with over 13 years’ experience in emergency nursing. She spent six years managing a large inner-city Accident & Emergency department, developing a calm, confident approach to patient care and a strong foundation in clinical safety and decision-making.

Alongside her NHS career, Sam’s interest in aesthetics grew from a long-standing passion for natural beauty and a belief that the most successful treatments begin with understanding the whole person—not just the area being treated. Her approach is highly individualised, taking into account facial harmony, personal style, and lifestyle to deliver results that feel balanced, authentic, and reflective of each client.

After several years balancing both emergency medicine and aesthetics, Sam made the decision to step away from the NHS to focus fully on her aesthetics practice. The move allowed her to dedicate more time to her patients while building a clinic environment centred on trust, education, and confidence-building outcomes.

Sam is known for her warm, honest consultations and her commitment to safe, ethical practice. As an independent prescriber, she ensures every treatment plan is clinically appropriate, responsibly delivered, and tailored to long-term skin health rather than short-term trends.

Outside of the clinic, Sam is a busy mum of three and values time with her family. She looks forward to supporting clients at Illuminate Aesthetics on their journey with care, integrity, and subtle refinement.
