About Me
My passion for health and beauty grew even stronger after becoming a mother of two. I’ve been working in the health and beauty industry for over 25 years and am a certified Cidesco Beauty Therapist as well as having a diploma in Holistic Aromatherapy. In 2013, I decided to become a Health Coach from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, where I studied a variety of dietary theories and practical lifestyle coaching methods. This enabled me to guide individuals and families to improve their health and life balance through an integrative program that incorporates both nutrition and self-awareness. My enthusiasm and interest in food and cooking led me to take a course to become a Raw Chef in Bali in 2015 where I learnt how to create inspiring, healthy treats that you can incorporate into everyday life.
After practising yoga for several years, I discovered how it improved my wellbeing while still fitting into a busy lifestyle, and this, along with my background as a beauty therapist and passion for this subject, led me to become a yoga teacher in 2018. The following year I extended my yoga knowledge when completing the certification to become a “face yoga” teacher; I found that adding face yoga into everyday life can improve not only the facial muscles and skin but also your mood, and I would love to share my knowledge with you.
As your personal coach, I will guide you step by step to a happy, healthy lifestyle.
My Approach
I practice a holistic approach to health and wellness, which means that I look at how all areas of your life are connected. Does stress at your job or in your relationship cause you to overeat? Does lack of sleep or low energy prevent you from exercising? As we work together, we will look at how all parts of your life affect your health as a whole.
My approach is not to dwell on calories, carbs, fats, and proteins. It is not to create lists of restrictions or good and bad foods. Instead, I work with my clients to create a happy, healthy life in a way that is flexible, fun and rewarding.
Together we’ll work to reach your health goals in areas such as achieving optimal weight, reducing food cravings, increasing sleep, and maximizing energy. As we work together, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of the food and lifestyle choices that work best for you and implement lasting changes that will improve your energy, balance and health.
What People Are Saying
Testimonials;
I came to see Lulu and got a “Facial on the Run”. An absolutely amazing and super relaxing treatment, (that throughout the facial invigorates and improves circulation). After the treatment, my skin felt much smoother and firmer. I kept that feeling in the skin for many days after.
I wish I would be able to do this every week. I can highly recommend the treatment to anyone who wants a first-class facial.
Stine
I had a lovely and relaxing facial by Lulu. Lulu is very professional and knowledgeable, and it's been a very long time since I felt this relaxed during and after a facial. I highly recommend that you give yourself the opportunity to try one of Lulu’s facials.

“Everybody deserves a treatment with you.”
- Randi Jensen Cohen, Children’s author
"Lulu is a wonderful and caring listener with a positive and empathic understanding of her clients. You know that under her care you are in great hands."
-Annette, Hong Kong, Financial Advisor.
" "They," say that we are all products of our lifestyle. If that were true, then Lulu would be a health coach, even if she didn't have her academic training. Couldn't say enough great things about this amazing, positive and strong woman, whom I am lucky enough to count among my closest and dearest friends. She is the most engaged, caring and emphatic person I've ever met. A great listener and an even better 'advisor'. She is and has always been there for me…even at times when I didn't know I needed her to be. She has worked in the health industry for the past…well, many years ;-) and she is a US qualified health coach. Do you need to change your lifestyle, lose weight, get in shape, improve your eating habits, get more energy or look 10 years younger?? Most of us know what to do, but need someone to guide and motivate us, give us advice, stay on track and help us break bad habits etc. How do you do this?…It all starts with a health consultation."
Karin, Denmark, Teacher
"When we lived in Hong Kong, I regularly went to Lulu for massages, facials and health advice. Lulu is very knowledgeable when it comes to food and beauty. She has given and still does give me many tips and support to make my life easier in a healthy way. She is professional, yet she has a wonderfully warm and personal approach. Her treatments are the best I have ever enjoyed. I love her eye for detail: the cup of tea before the treatment, the flower bowl under the massage table. I always felt completely rejuvenated and calm afterwards. I can highly recommend Lulu as your health & beauty guru."
Céline, Spain/Sweden, Designer.
“I have been using Lulu’s treatment for years and keep coming back to her as she is truly fantastic. Lulu is very thorough when cleansing my skin. She uses high-quality skincare and essential oils and my skin feels soft and plump afterwards. Lulu also provides great advice on what essential oils I can use for my skin and my health and I admire her knowledge on healthy food and healthy nutrients (and love her healthy recipes!). Lulu is really going to the extra mile and providing a 360-degree health coaching service, not just a simple facial and that’s pretty unique so I highly recommend her!"
Sophie, France, Sophrologist.
"After working with Lulu, I have more knowledge about how food affects my health, and I now have more confidence in preparing and shopping for food. She helped me introduce green vegetables into my diet. I would describe Lulu as professional, kind and compassionate. Overall, I am very grateful to have had Lulu accompany me on my health journey."
Tina, Hong Kong, mother of two teenagers, working from home.
"I simply cannot say enough good things about Lulu. I have been going to her for my facial care for more than 5 years, and after every treatment, my skin is just absolutely glowing. During each session, she analyses my skin to administer the exact blend of the proper essential oils needed to calm and balance my skin for what is currently happening in my life with the climate, travel, stress, etc. My friends have all complimented me on how great my skin looks, and some have even asked me what my secret is – I tell them it’s no secret, it’s Lulu and her magical oils! Lulu is extremely professional in all her work, but equally important she is authentic and caring. I also follow Lulu on Instagram and am constantly inspired by her amazing healthy food recipes. She is such an inspiration to me in all areas of her life. You will not be disappointed in whatever capacity Lulu touches your life!"
Kris, Hong Kong/USA, full-time working mom of two.
"I asked Lulu for help & advice during my recovery from breast cancer. She has a wealth of knowledge on natural products and life skills so I knew she was the best person to coach me through those first few months when I was feeling extremely vulnerable & fragile. During my consultations, Lulu advised me on what I could eat & drink and came up with some great food plans. She helped me to improve my skin, sleep and most of all my stress levels. 3 years on and my life has changed enormously; Lulu helped me to put my life on a different path...Thanks, hunny! "
Rese, UK.
"My top 3 goals upon starting the 6-month program were getting fitter, losing weight and eating better. Lulu was able to help me work towards these goals by discussing different options open to me, making suggestions on how to achieve my goals. The most significant overall change I have noticed has been that I've thought more about what I eat and how it affects me. I've also learned to relax!!! Lulu is a very supportive, caring and good listener and someone who is dedicated to what she does. It has made me give some thought to my emotions, feelings and also myself. Now I can take the time to relax and not feel guilty."
Clare, Hong Kong, Communication and Event Coordinator.
"A facial with lulu is so much more than a cleansing experience. For me, it’s very personal where Lulu takes time to mix in the right oils and creams to make the perfect balance for your skin. Every consultation is extremely relaxing. Lulu offers of advice on the types of aromatherapy oils that I should be using and the vitamins and nutrients that my skin is lacking and which foods to eat that will increase the health and flow of my skin and well being."
I definitely recommend a facial with Lulu to all those looking for a personalised experience."
Estelle, Hong Kong, Marine Biologist
"The 3-day detox with Lulu was hard at first juggling family dinners with my own healthy eating but I stuck too it and I finished the 3 days and felt really great. It was definitely worth it. It has inspired me to start every day with a Green Smoothie. My skin looks & feels wonderful! A friend told me last week my skin was glowing...Never had that compliment before. Thanks, Lulu"
-Susan, (UK), Beautician, aged 47
"I discovered Lulu through a friend recommendation. I must say I look forward to seeing her for my facials they are amazing! The aromatherapy oils she applies to my skin are Devine. The whole treatment is so relaxing and her positive energy seems to revitalise me. During my sessions, she advises me on skincare and aromatherapy oils to use. Lulu even made me a serum to apply in the mornings on the face and I’m impressed on how my face feels. . I highly recommend her."
Denise, Hong Kong, Teacher.
"I have had the opportunity to be a regular client of Lulu in the past few years and she has always been very professional, pleasant and helpful. I am very happy with her facial treatments using top quality cosmetic products that have improved my combination skin. She is always giving good advises on how to take care of the skin and using her specific aromatherapy oil I have also been a customer of Lulu as Health Coach and she is very good in customizing lifestyle and nutritional recommendations. She has given me really good advice on how to improve my diet changing wrong food habits to improve my health."
Simona, Biochemist, Italy
"I have been Lulu's client for more than a year and I am so grateful to have met her. She shared her knowledge to help educate me on how to improve my skin and helped me to be aware of not so good eating habits. My daughter loves her facial treatment as she also shares great advice for her skin. I love that she only carry the best quality skincare and her aromatherapy oils are so great! Lulu is an amazing health coach and I highly recommend her because she is a good listener and passionate about helping people with their health and skin. She can motivate and inspire me! Thank you so much, Lulu"
Nelda, Philippines, Mom to Sara and Alessandro
I know Lulu from when we both lived in Hong Kong and I went regularly to have her amazing facials. A few years later, after we had both relocated, I booked a face yoga online class and absolutely loved it. It was easy to follow and I find the exercises really relaxing. Lulu is so knowledgeable in the field of beauty and health and always shared some valuable advice how to improve my skin. She also is one of the kindest people I know 🙂

Integrative Nutrition® Plate
The Integrative Nutrition Plate emphasizes the importance of local and organic produce, whole grains, high-quality proteins, plant-based fats, and water. It shows you how a plate should appear at mealtime and emphasizes the importance of proportions and portion size. To complete the picture, the plate is surrounded by lifestyle factors that create optimal health: relationship, career, physical activity and spirituality. I’ll introduce you to some of the healthiest foods on the planet and teach you how to find what’s healthiest for your unique body!
Primary Food™
It’s easy to overlook all of the things that contribute to our sense of nourishment and fulfilment. It’s not just the food we eat that affects our health, but all of the other factors present in our daily lives. Healthy relationships, a fulfilling career, regular physical activity, and a spiritual awareness are essential forms of nourishment. When these “primary foods” are balanced, what you eat becomes secondary. I will support you in achieving all of your goals, from eating the right foods for your body to living an inspired, fulfilling life.
Crowding Out
Many nutrition experts give their clients a list of foods to avoid and foods to eat, which explains why so many people are turned off by nutrition. My approach is different – by eating and drinking foods that are good for you, you will naturally have less room and desire for unhealthy foods. Simply put, you will “crowd out” the unhealthy food in your diet. This takes a little practice to make happen, but I will support you all the way.
Bio-Individuality™
The concept of bio-individuality is the idea that each of us has unique food and lifestyle needs. One person’s food is another person’s poison, and that’s why fad diets tend to fail in the long run. Working on the principle of bio-individuality, I’ll support you to make positive changes that are based on your unique needs, lifestyle, preferences, and ancestral background.
Deconstructing Cravings
Cravings play a critical role in understanding what your body needs and shouldn’t be ignored. When you learn how to deconstruct your cravings and understand what they’re telling you, you will be able to reclaim a sense of balance and harmony.
