Kristina Dirse is a highly skilled and experienced beauty therapist with over five years of professional experience in the beauty industry. Originally from Lithuania, she moved to England in 2009 to pursue her education and career in beauty therapy. Her commitment to helping people look and feel their best has become a cornerstone of her work, reflecting her passion for beauty therapy and dedication to client satisfaction. Kristina’s journey into beauty therapy began at West Herts College in Watford, where she completed comprehensive training in beauty and holistic treatments. She earned NVQ Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 qualifications in Beauty Therapy and Holistic Treatments, providing her with a strong foundation in technical and practical skills. Her education covered a broad range of treatments, including body waxing, facials, massage therapies, and aromatherapy. Following her formal training, Kristina gained hands-on experience in beauty salons and spas across the UK, refining her technique in waxing, massage therapy, and facials. Through these roles, she developed a deep understanding of client needs and treatment techniques, making her a versatile and adaptable therapist. Over time, Kristina developed a strong interest in skincare, leading her to work in a specialised skin clinic where she gained experience in advanced skincare treatments. This role expanded her knowledge of skin health and its impact on confidence and well-being. Kristina now works at Bodytonic Clinic’s Stratford and Canada Water locations, where she provides a variety of beauty and holistic treatments, including waxing, aromatherapy, glycolic peels, Environ facials, deep tissue massage, Indian head massage, manual lymphatic drainage massage, hot stone massage, pregnancy massage, Swedish massage, and therapeutic remedial massage.
