about karen
I started my career in beauty therapy at the age of 16 when I studied a BTEC National Diploma for 2 years at Kingston College in Surrey.
At the age of 18 I then started up my own beauty business working from home, whilst working part time in a local salon.
In December 2006 I moved Hidden Beauty 4U to Surbiton Racket & Fitness Club where I was based for 7 years, continuing my professional development and slowly building up my business alongside the health & fitness industry.
In December 2013 I moved the business from Surbiton Racket & Fitness Club back to my home environment where I decided to spend more time focussing on skin and body health, continuing my professional development and customising the business to the needs of the established clientele.
In 2016 I expanded my business services to incorporate Herbalife Nutrition, the world’s leading number 1 nutrition brand to offer clients a healthy active and balanced lifestyle and wellbeing service after achieving this lifestyle personally and seeing the huge benefits.
In 2018 I gave birth to my first child, my son Blake and that journey has opened up my eyes not only to pregnancy but the whole parenthood and the importance of self care, and the balance of achieving a healthy active lifestyle.
Since becoming a mum, its highlighted a few areas in my business which I wanted to work on and that’s why I have decided to add in treatments and packages for mums to be and new mums so they can still maintain a level of self care with or without their child.
