I’m the founder of Armadillo Holistic Therapies. My hope is that you will find a sanctuary with me. A place where you can feel cared for and pampered emotionally, spirtually and physically.

hi, i’m mel.

Whether it’s holistic treatments such as reflexology, beauty treatments like a lash tint, or aesthetic treatments such as lip fillers - you will find plenty of ways to feel amazing in the Armadillo clinic. These treatments are all part of the vast array of ways we can take care of ourselves and find wellness - and helping you to feel amazing is my passion and driving force!

I am fully qualified and comprehensively insured in all treatments on offer in clinic and am a qualified Advanced Injector. Medic trained in Harley Street, London, I can offer you the best quality products, the latest techniques and the reassurance that you are in very safe hands.

Where possible, I choose cruelty-free, vegan, environmentally friendly products. I aim to create a natural, clean beauty look to help you glow from the inside and outside.

I came to this industry later in life, having lived in Istanbul, Madrid, London and Edinburgh (I originally come from Yorkshire). I have degrees in Law and Literature and have post-graduate qualifications and almost twenty years’ experience in teaching. I am also very passionate about books and worked as a writer for TimeOut Istanbul for two years. It was while living and working in Istanbul in my twenties that I began to learn more about holistic and beauty therapies.

Having worked with teenagers (and being a mum and step-mum to six of my own), it’s very difficult to shock or phase me! My approach is calm, patient and empathetic. I will never rush you in clinic and I specialise in reassuring anxious patients. Each treatment has a generous time slot to help you feel relaxed.

My treatment clinic at Debenham Leisure Centre in the pretty village of Debenham, Suffolk is warm, friendly and welcoming. Parking is plentiful, free and easy and there’s a cafe, gym, children’s playground and racket courts on-site.

I look forward to meeting you soon.
