I’m sat here patiently waiting for you to come and join my tribe, It’s a tribe full of fierce, strong warriors called the Finchlings 💪

If you’re tired of watching yourself fade away into obscurity consider this a sign from the universe to take action in 2026 !!!

Your skin holds every chapter of your journey, the busy days, late night, the hard moments, and the strength it took to keep going when life got heavy,

You deserve expert care that restores more than just your skins complexion on the outside 😱

It’s about reconnecting with yourself on a deeper level, the version of you that feels radiant, confident and validated 🙏

Because when your skin and soul are nurtured with intention, your bright light naturally starts to returns !!

I desperately want to help you find yourself again, it would be my greatest honour and privilege to be your facialist in 2026 🙏

When your ready to take that leap of faith and book a skin consultation, I will be here to welcome you with open arms 🤗

I’m about to the blow the f*cking roof of 2026, the next chapter in my story is proof that divine timing does exist in the universe 🙏

For over 20 years I carried the weight of feeling misunderstood and overlooked by the world, I’ve always felt like a visionary far to ahead for this timeline,

The loneliness of knowing there was so much more locked inside me, crushed my soul, but I had to accept the world wasn’t ready for me, so the burden of feeling like I didn’t belong anywhere slowly chipped away at my self confidence,

But all that struggle shaped me, stretched me, and forced me to grow in the dark. I didn’t disappear during those years I was transforming in silence and now I’m rising high !!!

This ascent isn’t just mine alone, It’s for anyone who feels invisible, unheard, unseen or just out of place in the world. this is our moment to shine bright together my friend 🙏

Everything you ever needed to succeed is locked inside you, you just have to be brave enough to ask the universe for the keys to open up your heart and everything you’ve ever dreamed of will appear my friend 🙏

This is my 2026 manifesto who’s with me 💪

1. Owning my narrative

In 2026 I’m so over people putting me into little boxes to make themselves feel more comfortable, I refuse to comply and conform to what society expects of me. You can’t put a label on Finchie, I’m a multi dimensional human being, full of life experience personally and professionally, as a gay male, facialist, business man and health fanatic !!!

2. Old battle scars

In 2026 it’s about continuing the heal from old trauma, in my life I’ve survived and overcome so much, sexual abuse, tumour, homelessness and navigating my sexuality. I’m no longer defined by my past because I’ve made my peace with it, I’m focused on moving forward with positive intention !!!

3. Reclaiming my voice

In 2026 it’s time to use my voice to inspire
and empower others, for years I felt paralysed, unable to speak up and share my story with the world, I was frightened of being judged, but the pain of remaining silent has become impossible to sustain, the truth will set me free in 2026.

4. Accepting my flaws

In 2026 I will turn 38, yes I am starting to show my age, I have lines and wrinkles on my face, I’m far from a flawless super model. But I absolutely love and adore my older lived in skin because it has depth of character that tells a story of resilience, survival and strength !

5. Flexin my business brain

In 2026 it’s about using my business brain like never before, with two decades of entrepreneurial experience under my belt, it’s time to put all I’ve learned into practice, my brain isn’t wired like other entrepreneurs, always expect the unexpected from Finchie !!!

6. Freedom of expression

In 2026 social media will continue to be the vehicle I use to be showcase my creative flair, I absolutely love expressing myself through the medium of art, for me photography and videography has been my medicine, helping me to heal, articulate and share my story with the entire world.

7. Living life on my terms

In 2026 I’m living life as my authentic self, unapologetic for all my sass, I’m done people pleasing, if you can’t embrace my eccentricity or accept me for who I am, then I don’t wan’t you in my life, you know where the door is.

8. Keeping it creative

In 2026 it’s about building on all the editing skills I’ve learned in recent years, it’s time to level up and keep perfecting my unique style of content creation, because every detail you see on my social media is meticulously and lovingly edited by me, from the colour grading, photo composition, videography, scripting, staging and story telling !!!

9. Staying humble

In 2026 it’s about keeping my feet firmly on
the ground, it’s never wasted on me how lucky I am to still be living my entrepreneurial dream of being a facialist since 2008, to have a career that spans almost two decades absolutely blows my mind !!!

10. Relinquishing the past

In 2026 I’m releasing what no longer serves
me, letting go of my inhibitions, limiting belief systems, outdated mindset, any bad habits and negative thinking holding me back from my unleashing my true potential.

11. Unlocking my power

In 2026 it’s time to harness the power source locked deep down inside me, past trauma has been holding me back for decades, but there’s no more hiding or denying the light locked inside, it’s time to shine so f*cking bright, the worlds not ready for Finchie !!!!

If you read this far I’d like to give an extra special thank you to all my Finchlings, your love, support, loyalty means everything to me 🙏

And Finchlings

Always remember we are the authors of our story, with pen in hand ready to write our next chapter in 2026 !!!

Go shine so f*cking bright, because the world needs your light to help those that are lost in darkness 🙏

As always love

Are you ready to become a Finchling in 2026, if your exhausted from staring in the mirror, wondering why your skin still hurts your self confidence.

You’ve tried the products, followed the trends, and told yourself “it’s fine” when it hasn’t felt that way at all.

The frustration, the self doubt, the hiding it’s been heavy. But it doesn’t have to stay this way.

There comes a moment when you choose yourself, decide you’re done settling, and take back control of your skin and how you feel in it.

This could be that very moment !!!

Love F I N C H I E ❤️

We have a very special anniversary coming up in 2026, the clinics celebrating 10 years as an official Caudalie stockiest 🍇🍇🍇

Caudalie completely changed the trajectory of my career and business, to this day it’s still the most popular skincare brand we sell in the clinic,

Our clients absolutely adore Caudalie as do I 🙏

I’m so grateful and honoured to have been a Caudalie ambassador for a decade in 2026, this is such a significant milestone for me and the business,

Secret preparations are under way to celebrate, can anyone guess what they may be 🥳🥳🥳

I am seriously so over Christmas roll on January I say, I’m bursting with creative juices right now, even thou the clinic has been closed, I’ve been working non stop over Christmas !!

What can I say I’m a workaholic 🤣

I’ve been editing non stop, preparing new content for January, next on my list is to get the clinic looking all clean and fresh ready to hit the ground running in 2026 !!

I’ve got some beautiful post ready to upload on socials, I think it will sign of the year perfectly, so keep your eyes peeled for that over the next few days !!

Love F I N CH I E ❤️🙏

Ageing is a state of mind, are there day I wish I could turn back the clock, yeah sure there are, do I always love the reflection looking back at me in the mirror hell no,

But I’m learning to love my older lived in skin because it has depth of character that tells a story of resilience, survival and strength !

I wish I could give everyone the gift of self confidence, that’s why I am a Facialist because I love helping others see how beautiful they are inside and out 🙏

As always love

I’m nothing without my Finchlings, I am truly blessed to have the most incredible clients that have continued to support me over almost two decades 🙏

My Finchlings keep me grounded and humble, without them I wouldn’t still be living my entrepreneurial dream of being a Facialist,

Theres so many Finchlings to thank for all there love and support during 2025, so many of them aren’t even on social media and never see my post,

But I want to put out into the universe just how much I adore and love my Finchlings, your so much more than just another client, your my adopted family,

It’s been an absolute honour and privilege to be your Facialist, thank you for continuing to put your trust and faith in me with your skin 🙏

I wish you all a wonderful Christmas and happy new year 🥳

As always lots of love

I truly believe finishing touches matter, they help to elevate a client’s experience to an entirely new level !!!

The clinic is full of hidden finishing touches, things that you wouldn’t typically notice at first glance like my marbel ice box for my crypto tools !!!

All these hidden finishing touches add up to create a magical experience that leaves you feeling calm, relaxed and rejuvenated 🙏❤️🥰

So the next time you visit the clinic pay attention to the little things that have a big impact on your overall facial experience 🙏

When your husband blackmails you at Christmas 🤣

Me “ Darren will you please put the garland on the mirror in my treatment room, I can’t reach “

Darren “ only if you’ll do me a facial “

He’s a smooth operator what can I say, it’s a good job I love him, and I suppose it is Christmas after all ❤️

It’s been a decade since I was featured in .uk magazine and a lots changed since this article was written !!

I barely recognise the old version of me, I had to dismantle and rebuild myself piece by piece, in order for the real me locked inside to emerge,

I’ve been in the beauty / aesthetic industry since 2008, and as a male therapist I’ve always felt like an outsider, like I don’t belong or fit into the industry,

I’ve always felt like I’ve had something to prove to myself and the world, because I’ve had so many doors closed in my face,

In the early days clients would refuse to let me treat them, so many people told me I would never succeed as skin therapist or businessman,

But you should never underestimate Finchie, I am the original reinvention artist, I don’t give up without a fight 💪

I spent years playing the role society expected a male skin therapist to play, but I felt trapped and constrained by the chains placed upon me,

I could no longer live in the clinical white prison I had built for myself, deep down inside I was drowning suffocating as each year went by,

Eventually I had to break free, that’s when Finchie my alter ego showed up, he taught me to be brave, fierce and embrace my sassy side !!!

That’s when something magical happened, I stopped caring what other people thought of me, and I started building a business and career on my own terms,

I’m in my own lane, carving out my own niche, setting my own trends, refusing to conform or comply to what the world or industry expect of me,

I’m flying the flag for all the males in the industry that feel overlooked, under represented, miss understood and beaten down,

Together we are rewriting the rule book, covering new ground, kicking down doors, dismantling stereotypes,

and showing that men can succeed in the beauty / aesthetic industry 💪
