Honestly, I’m still in shock that I passed my Trichology degree and will be graduating at the Royal Society of Medicine of London in October! 🥹 👩🏼🎓
A few TBT Pics …
It’s been such a long (and pretty hard) road. I think back to when I first left school and went to uni to study Cardiac Physiology — I was working in hospitals, scanning people’s hearts, assisting in surgeries, reading heart monitors to help diagnose problems… and honestly? I thought it was easy. So when I found out there was a whole course that would teach me all about hair + scalp, why hair loss happens, what causes it in the body and how to treat it, I thought… “sir this will be a piece of cake!” 😂
Between my biology background, years of hairdressing, and already working with hair loss clients, I thought I’d breeze it. But let me tell you, this was harder than my cardiology degree. And maybe that’s because I’m not a carefree student anymore… now I’ve got kids, a family, multiple businesses, responsibilities… the works.
Last year I was meant to sit my final exams in July and graduate with my class, but in May my world fell apart when i was told that my dad’s cancer treatment was no longer working and that he only had a few months to live. I kept studying, but when my exams ended up coming side by side with my dad passing away, I just couldn’t do it. I deferred until this year, telling myself I’d use the time to study more. Truth is? I didn’t even open a book until June. Every time I thought about it, I thought about my dad dying and it was just too much.
But when June this year came, I knew I had to do it. I wanted this so badly. I wanted to make him proud, because he knew how much I wanted this, so I took time off work, put my head down, and honestly enjoyed every second of learning again. And now? I feel more equipped than ever to help anyone walking through my doors with hair loss or scalp concerns. 🥰
If you’re going through something tough right now, or you feel like giving up on something you’ve been working towards — please don’t. Keep going. Future you will thank you. 🌟
