Meet the team

Tia

Hello, I am the the Co- Founder/ Company Director and Prinical of The BAA and also Founder and Principal of the Multi-Award Winning Wiltshire School of Beauty and Holistic Therapy (WSBHT), which has now been going since 2008!

WSBHT already offers a wide range of Beauty, Holistic and Make-Up courses, so we wanted to expand into the world of Aesthetics. This is how The Beautia Aesthetics Academy (BAA) was born.

Every student who walks through the BAA doors will receive the very best training. It can be intense, but it ensures there’s focus on all the finer details.

Students can learn one on one, or in small groups. Teaching is always fun, relaxed and very professional.

We are devoted to providing a school of excellence. It is my philosophy that every student receives dedicated attention and extensive experience whilst training here at the Beautia Aesthetics Academy.

We look forward to welcoming you to the world of Aesthetics!

Olivia

Hello, I am the Co-Founder and Company Director of the Beautia Aesthetics Academy. I hold a BTEC diploma in business and qualified in level 2 and 3 beauty therapy plus many other beauty treatments. I am so an advanced aesthetics practioner and run a clinic from my award winning salon Beautia Studios in Cirenester.

I have such a passion for the world of Aesthetics, ensuring that we have the best teachers and staff to accommodate every student.

I can’t wait to meet all of the amazing students who want to start a career in the Aesthetics Industry!

Naomi

Hello, I am the head of department for The BAA, but also teach many subjects within the Beauty Industry. I have been in the industry for 20 years, running salons, clinics and worked all over the UK as well as trained over the UK with well-known brands and products.

I am extremely passionate about my role and love sharing my knowledge and experience with others around me. It has been a pleasure working with the BAA and sister school WSBHT, who also share the same passion and goals as me. This is to offer our students the very best we can. I look forward to spending many years to come with the BAA and meeting you, if you decide to take your journey with us!

Hi, I’m Helenka, a PMU Artist, Fineline Tattoo Artist, Aesthetic practitioner, Educator and Trainer with over 13 years in the beauty industry.

I’m so honoured and incredibly proud to have been selected as one of the Top UK PMU Artists for 2025, and to have won 3 awards in 2024 including Best PMU Artist — achievements I’ll forever feel blessed and grateful for.

Alongside treatments, I teach SPMU & Fineline Tattoos. Sharing my knowledge and skills with others is one of my biggest passions.

I’m always here to support my students, both during training and long after they qualify. I offer ongoing, lifetime support because I truly believe your journey doesn’t end when the course does! Your growth, confidence, and success matter to me every step of the way.

My beauty journey began with Tia at The Wiltshire School of Beauty & Holistic Therapy https://www.wsbht.co.uk, so it’s such an honour to now be working alongside Tia and Olivia and their amazing aesthetics academy The Beautia Aesthetic Academy https://beautiaaestheticsacademy.co.uk.
