New Job - Success Story

Finding Love Online or Leaving It to Fate, that Is the Question?

Nowadays people have increasingly busy lives and it has been reported that more than 9 million Brits have logged on looking for love.

A third of new relationships are estimated to have started online, but a quarter of those surfing the web, particularly men, are reportedly already in relationships and just looking for fun.

But do we actually get to see the “real” person when we find them online or do they simply portray themselves as our ideal partners?  It may come as no surprise to hear that the area where women supposedly exaggerate the truth is with their age and for men it is their height.

With Valentine’s Day fast approaching we would love you to share your online dating stories with us on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/chrysalisstudioscouk or Twitter https://twitter.com/chrysalistudios.

As a thank you we will chose our favourite story and send the lucky person on a Chrysalis Studios mock first date where they will receive useful and honest feedback about their first impressions and the do’s and don’ts on a first date.

Good luck!!!

Andrea's Success Story: From a Mother To a Personal Trainer

The Chrysalis Studio team first met Andrea when her husband gave her the experience as a gift after receiving the winning bid at a charity auction.  At the time she was on maternity leave, had gained weight and wanted to carve an identity of her own aside from being a Mum.

The experience couldn't have come at a better time for her as she was looking for some new direction in her life.

With the aid of some tailor made image and lifestyle sessions, Andrea restored her confidence and created a new personal brand and career where she has the flexibility to have a great work/life balance.

The photo speaks for itself.

Testimonials

“The combination of Sharon’s coaching and Lukas’ image consulting has made a lasting impact on me. Sharon really seems to know the right questions to ask to make you think about who you want to be and how you want to come across to others. Lukas is magic! Our session together was fantastic and I now have great photos that I can use both professionally and personally. I highly recommend Chrysalis Studios to anyone who wants to both look and feel great.”

Lisa – Consultant & Mother of three

“Sharon and Lukas believe passionately that to look good on the outside you also need to feel great on the inside. Too often we focus on the outside and forget to nurture ourselves from within which creates a viscous circle where we lose our courage to take care of our image on the outside. 

Sharon's coaching skills combined with the image makeover talent of Lukas enable you to feel confident on the inside and out. Creating a powerful positive circle. They have a unique talent to make you feel in safe hands instantly. Their natural passion for their subject inspires you to listen and take action.”

Claire – Charity CEO

“As an older professional woman, I find that attempting to look stylish can be difficult, especially with the 'youth oriented' clothing and makeup on offer. But Chrysalis Studios knows that a youthful sense of self is not just the preserve of the young.

The styling advice given to me by Lukas at Chrysalis was very useful in helping me to achieve an ageless look. They helped me to choose the right colours and clothes to wear for specific events and showed me how to use makeup and hair styling to create a fresh, natural and contemporary look. They simply enhanced my own personal style, so I was able to still be 'me' yet attend events with greater confidence in my appearance.

I think that many 'youthful' older women would get much out of either one-to-one or group sessions with Sharon and feel so much better about their ability to present themselves either for photographs or at important functions.”

Laura

“Thank you Sharon and Lukas for your excellent session with me. 

You are both so genuine and passionate I found the day invigorating and inspiring. 

Things are moving in the right direction for me and the advice you both gave me has been ruminating and settling as I map out the next phase of my life.”

Pauline

“Lukas made some fantastic portraits of me for my website. He really grasped what I wanted to convey, made great images, and was a delight to work with.

Sharon helped me to find my own voice.”
