Over 10 years ago, I met Gemma by chance while we were seated next to each other at a wedding. At the time, we were both at the very beginning of our journeys into permanent makeup. We instantly connected, became close friends and continued to grow side by side within the PMU industry.
In 2019, we both trained in areola tattooing, a treatment I believed in professionally but never imagined would become so deeply personal. In 2020, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, a life-changing experience that gave me a profound understanding of the emotional impact areola restoration can have following breast surgery. After struggling to find a skilled areola tattooist that I trusted, Gemma and I practised for hours every day, committed to mastering the technique. It was Gemma who ultimately carried out my own areola tattooing.
Through my personal journey, this work became about far more than just aesthetics. It became about helping women regain confidence, identity, and a sense of wholeness after cancer and trauma.
Together, Gemma and I combined our expertise, compassion and shared values to create The Areola Training Academy. Today, we have trained hundreds of artists worldwide to deliver life-changing areola tattooing to the highest standards of quality, care, and professionalism.
