Meet your local skin expert

At The Retreat, I help you feel confident in your skin with results-driven facials and a calm, private experience in Fort William. Welcoming clients from across Lochaber and the surrounding Highlands.


I’m Nicole—therapist and owner—and my approach is Tech + Touch: advanced facial technology paired with expert hands-on facial massage, so you get visible results and that deep exhale you’re craving.


Whether you’re dealing with breakouts, sensitivity, dehydration, dullness, uneven tone, or early signs of ageing, we’ll choose the right treatment for your skin today—and build a plan that fits real life

It all starts with a consultation...

Achieving transformative, long-lasting results starts with understanding you — not just your skin. That’s why every Bespoke Skin Journey begins with a 90-minute Skin Health Consultation and Visage Pro+ Skin Analysis.


This is a true 360° approach, exploring your skin concerns and goals alongside the bigger picture: lifestyle, stress levels, medical history, medications and supplementation. Because skin doesn’t exist in isolation — when we support the body (including the parasympathetic “rest and restore” nervous system), we can help calm the stress response and reduce the inflammation that often shows up as sensitivity, congestion, dullness and premature ageing.


During your consultation you’ll receive:

  1. A detailed Visage Pro+ Skin Analysis
  2. A full lifestyle + medical consultation
  3. Your personalised in-clinic treatment plan (what we’ll do and why)
  4. A tailored at-home skincare routine, built around what you’re already using, any gaps in your routine, or a complete refresh if your current products aren’t working


More than a starting point, it’s an experience in itself: quiet, unrushed, and designed to give you clarity, confidence, and a personalised roadmap to healthier, happier skin.

My Tech + Touch approach

  1. Advanced, non-invasive facial technology to target your skin goals
  2. Hands-on facial massage for glow, tension release, and circulation
  3. Calm, unhurried appointments (no conveyor-belt treatments)
  4. Skin advice you can actually follow at home (without overwhelm)

Skin concerns I can help with

  1. Breakouts and congestion
  2. Dehydration and dullness
  3. Sensitivity and redness
  4. Uneven tone and texture
  5. Fine lines and loss of firmness
  6. “My skin has changed and I don’t know why” moments

What to expect at The Retreat

  1. A welcoming, private setting in Lochaber
  2. A consultation-led approach (so you’re not guessing what to book)
  3. A treatment plan that’s tailored to your skin and your schedule
  4. A calm experience designed to help you switch off
