I’M ABIGAIL
I’m so pleased you’re here. It’s never easy getting to know another human through a few words, but here are a few of mine…
I love good coffee, a gorgeous view, authenticity, learning, exploring, quiet mornings, yoga, business, wellness, and feeling comfortable in your own skin — physically and emotionally.
I believe we all have a an innate ability for wellness, joy and success - often closer than we think.
I am an ICF-trained executive coach, consultant and skincare authority with over two decades of experience building, leading and evolving brands in the global beauty and wellness industry.
My career began in treatment rooms and grew into founding London clinic and spas as a celebrity skin expert, I became known to the press as the queen of skin, the Beyonce of skincare, high priestess of massage and touted for having magic hands. (Yes I know, my children find all this hilarious) advising luxury locations and skincare brands, leading training and treatment innovation at director level. Alongside commercial leadership, I am a life long learner and continue to expand my knowledge and skills.
Everything I offer is grounded in lived experience — building businesses, leading teams, navigating reinventions — not theory alone. I am a strategic thinking partner for success.
Much of my work has involved close human contact, touching faces, bodies and minds - and the trust that comes with that.
Over the years I’ve written best-selling books, built businesses that led to being known as The Queen of Skin, and worked hands-on with thousands of clients while raising three children on my own. I’ve consulted, spoken, trained, supported and studied across a wide range of physical and emotional disciplines — often all at once.
The press have described me as having “magic hands”. I’m no magician — just deeply attentive, well trained, and genuinely interested in people.
I’ve experienced some truly beautiful success in life and business, and some equally beautiful failures. Both have shaped how I work, how I listen, and how I show up — personally and professionally.
I’ve had the privilege of working with people one-to-one and in groups: famous faces, lawyers, bankers, founders, single parents, and everyone in between. Labels matter far less to me than the fact that we’re all human.
I move easily between entrepreneurial and corporate worlds. I value positive human touch — both physical and emotional. I respect science and evidence, and I also hold space for intuition, energy and the things that don’t always fit neatly into a framework.
I’m holistic in the truest sense — curious, grounded, open-minded, and genuinely interested in what becomes possible when people feel supported, seen, and comfortable being themselves.
There are many things that qualify us in life. It isn’t always certificates and exams — though those matter too. What follows is a small snapshot of some of the things I’ve lived, learned and earned along the way.

My Values
Big
Embrace Limitless Possibilities
Don’t play small. Big means stepping out of your comfort zone and pursuing your boldest dreams. It’s about expansive thinking, seeing opportunities everywhere, and living with a mindset that greatness is within reach.
Brave
Cultivate Courage & Resilience
Being brave means facing fears head-on, overcoming imposter syndrome, and pushing through self-doubt. It’s about having the tools and mindset to grow, develop emotional resilience, and handle life’s challenges with grace and grit.
Beautiful
Align with What Feels Right
True beauty comes from living authentically, aligned with your values and purpose. It’s about creating a life that feels good—emotionally, spiritually, and physically—nurturing meaningful connections and leading with love, integrity, and joy.
