About Valia
International experience. Professional teaching. Calm, confident learning.
I grew up in England from the age of seven, where I completed my education and professional training in the beauty and wellness field. I am CIDESCO-qualified, which is an internationally recognized diploma considered one of the highest standards in professional beauty therapy, awarded only to practitioners who meet rigorous global training and examination requirements.
My career began in the UK, where I worked with leading institutions, including Harrods, and taught at established beauty schools, training future professionals in skincare and wellness. Alongside my work in beauty, I also worked as an actress with ITV and the BBC, which helped shape my confidence, communication skills, and comfort working on camera.
In my twenties, I moved to the United States and opened a day spa in Hoboken, New Jersey. The spa was recognized with the Best Day Spa Award for three consecutive years, reflecting a strong commitment to quality, professionalism, and client care. During this time, I also hosted television shows focused on health and beauty, further combining education with media and communication.
Today, I bring together over four decades of international experience in beauty, wellness, communication, and training through online education. My teaching approach is calm, practical, and confidence-focused .
