I felt genuinely privileged to be invited to this year’s Aesthetic Nursing Autumn Assembly, hosted by Aesthetics Nursing Journal. It was a nurse-focused event - designed by nurses, for nurses - and it felt incredibly special to be part of something so collaborative. The day centred on evidence-based education and connection, and reminded me how much power there is in our shared nursing values.
It was such a pleasure to spend time with other nurses who are as passionate about menopause and regenerative medicine as I am. I loved catching up with Anna Baker, who continues to set the bar for clinical and educational excellence, and Tracey Dennison, whose expertise in menopause skin health is second to none. The atmosphere felt open and generous - a room full of nurses who really wanted to share, learn, and lift each other up.
One of the talks I found particularly insightful was from Kat Cane, who demonstrated how Heidi AI software can support clinical documentation and streamline note-taking in practice. It’s something I’ll definitely be exploring further for House of Glo. Jen Vittanuova also gave an important reminder about the legal side of record-keeping - how thorough notes aren’t just good practice, but essential for protecting both patients and practitioners.
Oxford was the perfect setting - full of history, leafy streets, and a real sense of learning in the air. The venue was beautiful and intimate, with the kind of warmth that makes it easy to connect and have genuine conversations. I came away feeling inspired by the shared sense of purpose in the room.
I also discovered a new pharmacy service that helps streamline prescribing and ordering, which I’ll be looking to integrate into my clinic. Anything that makes the behind-the-scenes side of practice smoother gives me more time to focus on patients and the small details that make their experience special.
Another talk that really stood out was about Vitamin D and its impact on women’s health. Living north of the equator means many of us (and our patients) have low Vitamin D levels without realising it. It affects so much - from immunity to cognition and bone health - and it’s particularly relevant during menopause. At House of Glo, I already take a holistic approach that considers the bigger picture of wellbeing, and this reinforced how valuable that perspective is. As we move toward opening our CQC-registered clinic, I’m looking forward to expanding this more regenerative, whole-body approach even further.
I’m also preparing to publish a case study on Lipolas® Laser Lifting in Aesthetic Nursing Journal next year, exploring how laser lifting and regenerative treatments can be combined to restore firmness and structure naturally. It’s a treatment that reflects the heart of my approach - science-led, evidence-based, and focused on helping women age well without over-treating.
To support this, I’ll be looking for a small number of models/case study volunteers who would like to experience the Laser lifting treatment on their face and neck, under my care at House of Glo. These sessions will help demonstrate real results and showcase how regenerative medicine and laser technology can work together to rebuild the skin’s architecture in a natural way.
If you’re interested in taking part or would like to learn more about becoming a model for my upcoming Lipolas® Laser Lift case studies, please get in touch or read our blog - I’d love to hear from you.
I left Oxford feeling proud and inspired - reminded that the future of aesthetics lies in education, evidence, and empathy. Nursing will always be at the heart of what we do, and this event was a beautiful reflection of that.
