• Body Contour Profiling
• Personal shopping
• Corporate workshops and seminars

“On behalf of Trish, Diane & Sue, many thanks for the time that you spent with us last Monday. We found being with you very inspiring and have had our eyes and thoughts refreshed regarding what we wear and how we feel. Already we have had a couple of shopping/investigative lunch breaks as we challenge ourselves to consider new fashions and styles.” - Clare J, Lecturer
“Thanks so much for the motivation yesterday. You are amazing. I have never had anyone like you. What you did was so lovely – the combination of actually getting me started on some action without taking over. You have that gorgeous way – it’s a fine balance motivating people and you’ve definitely got it. “ - Maggie W
“That was great value. I definitely know what colours to stay away from – dulls and muted!”- Edward, Defense Force professional

As seen on Close Up - colour is making a come back! Colour is one of our biggest forms of non verbal communication. It affects how we look and feel and how others feel about us. As artist Paul Klee said, “one eye sees and the other feels.” Choosing the right colours can make you feel more confident and optimistic and look younger, slimmer, healthier and more exciting. Harness the power of colour to enhance your natural beauty and transform your life.
Using the High and Low Contrast Luminal system I will identify which colour group best fits you. The High and Low Contrast Luminal system was developed from the four season's method Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn . Each season has people that look different from each other in that they can be high contrast (light skin, dark hair) or low contrast (light hair, light skin). This catches people who are on the verge of another season.
The High and Low Contrast Luminal system is derived from work of Albert Munsell - the famous American Colourist. The Munsell method says that everyone can wear five primary colours, Red, Yellow, Blue, Green and Voilet, depending on the undertone, value, and intensity of the colour.
Therefore unilke other colour analysis systems the High and Low Contrast Luminal system gives a wider array of color options and does not mis-analyse which colours suit you best – you can have confidence knowing that I’ll help you find your best-fit colours.
If you’ve had your colours analysed in the past it would be worth being re-analysed using the expanded High and Low Contrast Luminal system
Everyone can wear colour – but not everyone can wear the same value and intensity (or purity) of colour. Once your best fit colour category has been determined you will enjoy learning how simple it is to naturally and youthfully enhance your looks using the correct colours and application for your skin tone and facial features.

What my clients are saying:
"Thanks for the fun evening for my team last week. We have talked about colours and wardrobes since and everyone is trying out wearing different colours or getting back on track with the colours they knew suited them but were too afraid to wear to work!. I can see a common language amongst the team which has a friendly and supportive tone to it and this is a nice addition to our working relationship. For a team of relatively new staff it was a neat opportunity to get to know each other better and learn something new about colours and how impactful they can be in all aspects of your life."

Our personal colours enhance our world
The colours we are attracted to over long periods of time are linked to our personality time, our strengths and weaknesses, as well as indicating our potential in life.
We thrive on being surrounded by colours – in our clothes, home décor, our gardens. When the sun is out and we are being fed by our “light” or life source, we feel wonderful. Lack of colour can make us feel down and depressed, think of how we feel when the sun disappears behind the clouds for a few days. Grey days tend to flatten our energy. We feel gray - our energy with draws. We just want to sleep and escape.
Colour expresses how we are feeling. When we are feeling great about ourselves we wear bright colourful clothes and when we are feeling flat or depressed we are drawn to drab colours. But did you know that we each have our own personal set of soul colours? These colours resonate with our true inner self. We have colours that nourish us, charge us up, calm us down, and one to inspire us?
These colour preferences, which often remain unchanged for our whole lives, are known as "soul colours." They indicate the intrinsic qualities and inner resources we have at our disposal and also the challenges we must face because of our deficiencies.
We all know that colour can affect our moods. We find some colours uplifting and inspiring, and others depressing. Analysing and clarifying your unique soul colours will help you harness the power of colour effectively.
The German Poet Novalis once wrote, “Fate and soul are two names for the same principal.” Reconciling our inner and outer worlds in often challenging for many people unfamiliar with deeper spiritual and psychological dimensions. We are complex creatures made up many facets, and all the different dimensions of the human psyche will seek, sooner or later, to find their place in the light of day and achieve expression in the outer world. When the time is right, certain aspects of you will strive for expression. In order for you to achieve that expression, you may need to create or find yourself drawn to, external situations which make you conscious of what you were unaware of before. Clarifying your soul colours will aid this process.
Our soul feeds on vibrations and your soul colour is the colour of the real you – both who you are and who you choose to be. You also have three secondary personal soul colours for inspiration, activity, and rest.
