Our Mission
Every person and their family deserves dignity, confidence, and holistic support after trauma or illness.

About Judith
Judith was Ffion's dear mother, a warm, strong, and spirited woman. Her life and her family's changed forever when she was diagnosed with cancer. She fought bravely, going through tough treatments and many challenges. She always tried to keep her dignity and love for life.
During her illness, Judith often wished for more than just medical care. She wanted support for her feelings, help to feel like herself again, and comfort when she was vulnerable. She noticed that traditional care didn't fully help her regain confidence or feel complete after surgery.
Ffion saw these unmet needs firsthand. She was touched by Judith's strength and her quiet wish for complete support. It was clear that people recovering from trauma or illness often lacked the right care, which left many feeling alone and less confident. Inspired by Judith's strong spirit and unspoken wishes, Ffion decided to create something lasting.
This powerful experience led to the creation of Judith's Trust. It was founded in her honor, because Ffion believed everyone deserves full, caring support. This kind of care helps restore not just health, but also dignity, confidence, and hope, just as Judith herself would have wanted.
What We Do
Restorative Areola & Nipple Tattooing
We offer free or heavily subsidised areola and nipple tattooing for women impacted by mastectomy, cancer, or other forms of trauma, restoring vital aspects of self-image and promoting healing.
Our services are meticulously delivered by our dedicated Clinical Lead and a national network of accredited, highly skilled, and trauma-informed artists, ensuring compassionate and expert care. This provision directly addresses a critical gap in statutory care, including NHS services, empowering women by restoring confidence, dignity, and body autonomy after life-altering experiences.

My Journey: From Advocacy to Artistry & Healing
My journey started as a legal mental health advocate. I saw firsthand how much trauma and stress affected people's lives. This experience made me deeply wanted to find more complete ways to help people heal and feel good.
Feeling a stronger calling, and after studying fine art, I later specialized in art therapy. This time helped me combine my understanding of human feelings with the powerful expression of creativity. It shaped a unique way for me to practice therapy.
This passion led me to open my skin recovery Clinic in 2015. It began as a special place for healing and micropigmentation. Now, it has grown into a full holistic wellbeing center, offering many different kinds of therapies to help diverse needs.
We also established Judith’s Trust Charity. This helps us reach more people and provide even more compassionate care. I believe real healing happens where scientific knowledge, artistic expression, and a deep spiritual connection meet. This belief guides everything we do.
