At our Beauty Academy, we take pride in seeing our students succeed and excel in their chosen careers. We are thrilled to share the success story of one of our former students, Hafsa Issa Salwe, who studied our level 2 and 3 Beauty Therapy courses here at Ray Cochrane Aesthetics Academy. Recently, we had the pleasure of interviewing Hafsa and learning about her remarkable journey in the beauty industry.
After graduating from Ray Cochrane Aesthetics Academy in 2021, Hafsa pursued her passion for skincare and became a skin facialist. She now runs a naturopathic health and skin clinic called Botanical Mission in Mornington Crescent, London. Hafsa’s co-partner, Nirvana, helps her run the clinic, where they offer bespoke skin treatments and health services, including herbal medicine, to address concerns from the inside out.
About Botanical Mission
At Botanical Mission, Hafsa provides a holistic approach to skincare by focusing on natural and holistic methods, taking a 360-degree approach. Her clinic offers personalized skincare solutions and health services that cater to each client! Working with a naturopath practitioner and a medical herbalist Nirvana, they can provide lifestyle support to balance hormones and skin treatments at the clinic. For instance, someone with acne stemming from a hormonal issue would receive both types of treatment to address the underlying issue and the skin concerns.
Botanical Mission’s unique approach to skin health and overall wellness is a testament to the power of holistic care. Treating the root cause of skin concerns can help clients achieve clear, healthy skin while improving their overall health and well-being. If you’re looking for a comprehensive skin care approach, check out Botanical Mission and see how Hafsa and Nirvana can help you achieve your skin and health goals.
Meet Nirvana Safa
If you’re on the hunt for a truly holistic approach to beauty, look no further than Nirvana, a medical herbalist with 12 years of experience in the industry. After working as a facialist for high-end brands in London’s top department stores, Nirvana realized that the industry tended to focus on superficial solutions rather than addressing underlying issues. This inspired her to deepen her knowledge by studying at the College of Naturopathic Medicine, where she became a medical herbalist after six years of study and 500 clinical hours.
Now, Nirvana works closely with her clients to combine beauty with herbal medicine, providing a truly personalized approach to skincare. By addressing the root causes of skin concerns from the inside out, Nirvana’s clients achieve better results than they ever thought possible. In addition to her one-on-one practice, Nirvana also consults for supplement brands, sharing her expertise to help create products that work. So if you’re ready to take your beauty routine to the next level and achieve truly radiant skin, consider working with Nirvana. With her years of experience and dedication to a holistic approach, she’s sure to help you look and feel your best.
