We hired Vanessa to work with us to plan and implement the U.K. VIP launch of Thermage FLX in November 2019. From sourcing a venue to overseeing staffing and catering Vanessa worked quickly and efficiently throughout the event management process to ensure everything was in place to reflect the launch event we wanted. Her assistance helping us curate a guest list of esteemed doctors, dentists and surgeons ensured we had the right people in front of our technology. Vanessa communicated clearly throughout the process, kept to budget and responded quickly to any requests.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Vanessa to work with businesses and clients considering Consultancy because in our experience we received above and beyond service leading to exceptional results.

Looking to explore and expand the offerings throughout our clinics, Vanessa was recommended by a highly respected business colleague.
Introductions were made and an initial meeting was arranged. Myself and my Board were greatly impressed by her knowledge, professionalism and attention to detail. We instantly warmed to her and trusted her.
In a sector new to us, Vanessa guided us through the benefits and pitfalls of our expansion plans. Not only did this save us considerable amounts of wasted investments she also highlighted the most profitable. Her guidance was invaluable.
Vanessa was a joy to deal with and I am more than happy to recommend her; something I rarely do.
You won't be disappointed! To your future success.

Vanessa is truly one of a kind. She helped restructure our treatment menu with innovative treatment package ideas to boost revenue. She also throws the most fantastic events for various device launches, so I always make sure I’m in attendance!

I have known Vanessa for more than 10 years & consider her to be one of the most knowledgeable & dependable people working in the field of medical aesthetics. Her experience in the industry & knowledge of the treatment technology that exists makes her a ‘go to’ resource for many people. There aren’t many who have the in-depth knowledge of the non-surgical technology that Vanessa has. Vanessa also has a wealth of experience with providing coaching & training all levels. Vanessa can quickly develop trust & build rapport with her audience, which makes for effective & enjoyable training sessions. But above all, Vanessa is reliable. She delivers what she promises & always on time. I really have no hesitation in recommending Vanessa as a business partner to anyone wanting honest & objective advice. .

Vanessa is very professional. She knows the industry inside out and has a contact book that is unrivalled. I have attended several events she has organised and they are always excellent and innovative. I know she has a good work ethic and would have no hesitation in recommending her.

Vanessa helped me find not just the right person for a very important role within my aesthetic distribution company, but she also introduced me to the person who was exactly what I needed and even better than what I thought I needed. This saved me a significant amount of time and money previously invested in expensive job adverts and recruitment agencies that didn’t deliver anything. Vanessa’s network and extraordinary industry experience are something very rare to find.

Vanessa is someone who I would trust implicitly with my own brand as well as with my clients. I have worked with Vanessa in a number of instances; in her previous role within the aesthetics industry and as Managing Director at The Aesthetic Consultant. In both instances, Vanessa has ensured that the results were achieved to a very high standard and in a style that resonates well within the industry.

I have known Vanessa for many years across the various roles that she has had within the aesthetic sector. I have no hesitation in recommending her to others as The Aesthetic Consultant. Vanessa is great to work with; ever the consummate professional, she is both highly skilled and dependable, with exacting standards that she brings to everything she does, including an article which I commissioned from her for our industry magazine. Her long-standing experience in the aesthetic sector, her breadth of product knowledge, plus in-depth understanding of successful sales and marketing strategies makes her a perfect partner for businesses looking to maximise their profits, run events and bring new treatments or products to their portfolio.

Knowledgeable, efficient and effective, Vanessa works with us to surpass patient expectations. Revenue has increased due to her cross-selling of treatments. The knowledge she has of non-surgical technologies is second-to-none. We invested in a device that paid for itself within 6 months. Vanessa is the only consultant who can consistently deliver at the level we need.

Of particular stand-out is her contacts and her affable personality which, combined with Vanessa's professionalism, made her a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended.
