YANA LINSKA
Senior Beauty and Aesthetic Therapist
Hello everyone. My name is Yana and I am a trained Nurse and cosmetologist from Ukraine. I have been working in the beauty industry for more than 10 years and I have learnt a lot about quality services. I like to make women look and feel even more beautiful and emphasize their natural qualities. I enjoy providing result driven treatments such as HydraFacial, Sofwave, EMSCULT NEO, and Dermapen FNS to list but a few. Cutting edge non-invasive aesthetic treatments that provide subtleness and natural long-lasting results are my favourite treatments and I am sure that they will also become an integral part in enhancing your beautiful perfect image.
EVANGELINE DYER (EVIE)
Beauty Therapist
I qualified as a level 3 beauty therapist in the city of Bath and worked in The Health and Beauty Centre for four years before I moved to South Wales and joined the team at Beauty Within medi-spa in June 2015. Since then I have qualified as a fully trained Elemis Face and Body therapist. I really enjoy meeting new people and practising all aspects of beauty therapy from massages to nail treatments and waxing. I also specialise in eye aesthetic treatments such as the ever popular Lash lift, a lasting eye opening lash treatment that helps to emphasize the eyes and offer a natural look alternative to the daily use of mascara and the mechanical eye lash curler.

Helen Cahalane
Naturopath and Nutritionist Bsc (Hons) ; NP (Dip NNT – CNM)

I qualified as a Naturopath and Nutritionist in 2012 through the globally respected College of Naturopathic Medicine (CNM) and I am delighted to be setting up a new practice at Beauty Within medi-spa @ The Changing Room.
I work with both adults and young people with wide ranging health related conditions, whether acute or chronic. These can be related to do with mental or physical health, whether medically diagnosed conditions or performance management.
The application of Naturopathy is wide ranging. Essentially, naturopathy looks to provide an understanding of the connectivity of the concerns people present with and find their ‘root cause’. The approach is based on us all responding to life’s challenges differently – genetically, biochemically, structurally and psychologically.
Naturopathy seeks to empower, educate, inform and support you to take control of their own health.
My specialism is Nutrition and I offer a functional medicine approach, but I can also employ herbal medicine, homeopathy, Bach flowers, traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture. Alongside my background in psychology and professional experience of working with people from a diverse range of backgrounds enables me to provide tailored health solutions that restore, maintain and optimise your physiological, physical, and mental/emotional health.
I have memberships and affiliations with a large number of leading accrediting bodies including IFM (Institute of Functional Medicine) ; Royal Society of Medicine ; NNa (Naturopathic Nutrition Association) ; FnTP (Federation of Nutritional Therapy Practitioners) ; BANT (British Association of Nutritional Therapy) and Psychiatry Refined to ensure my professional approach is based on the latest health research and developments and my service to you is of the highest quality.
