I’m a yoga loving, beauty obsessed, sober human and mum of Frank, a three-year-old Brussles Griffon.

My earliest memories are sitting at the beauty salon with my mum, watching her get her regular waxing and nail appointments. To this day, the smell of paraffin instantly transports me back to the early 90s.

Before there were YouTube influencers showcasing the latest winged eyeliner technique, I was pouring through my mum’s eyeshadows, and applying makeup to anyone I could get my hands on. By the time I was 16, my mum had put a lock on her bathroom door!

But nothing could keep me away…

What I understood from the youngest age, was the transformative power of beauty.

Welcome To My World

This resulted in me spending the first 15 years of my career working for industry leaders including MECCA and L’Oréal. Despite studying Journalism at university, I declined the opportunity to work at a major TV network because I knew in my heart that helping women to look and feel their best gave me more fulfilment than being in front of the camera.

My own transformation journey began at the beginning of 2020, when I hit an emotional and spiritual rock bottom, that saw me check myself into a treatment centre to address my unhealthy relationship with alcohol and my chronic perfectionism.

That was my turning point. And since that moment, my life has completely transformed.

LISTEN TO MY STORY

“When I finally realised nothing external would ever fill the internal void, I was able to start healing the relationship with myself”

- Ash Butterss, TEDx 2024

In 2022, I left my corporate beauty job and retrained as a yoga and meditation teacher, before stepping into the world of Holistic Transformation Coaching, achieving incredible results for my clients both locally and internationally.

Yet I found myself being drawn back to the world of beauty, as I reflected on the transformative power I first recognised back when I was a little girl.

And then I had a thought!

What if I were to combine my unique skills of almost two decades working at an elite level in the beauty industry with my holistic yoga and meditation training to bring women a transformative program that provides them with a physical, emotional and spiritual makeover?

In that moment, The Makeover Mentor was born.

So, are you ready for your makeover?
