A therapist is celebrating after winning an international award.

Alison Heppelstone, owner of Skin Coach, based on Cross Crown Street in Cleckheaton, won the Nimue Therapist of the Year 2022 Award.

The international honour recognises the skincare knowledge, passion and client service achievements of therapists across the globe.

She said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to have won this incredible award and opportunity with Nimue.

“I haven’t looked back since I launched Nimue as a brand in my clinic."

She has also won a once-in-a-lifetime trip to South Africa, where Nimue is headquartered, including a safari dinner under the stars in the African bush.

Alison, who has more than 20 years of experience in the beauty industry, competed against salons from across the country for this money-can’t-buy trip.
