SKIN LAB X WELLNESS

Hey!

First of all, thank you so so much for your support, and even reading this! I am feeling so very lucky to have such a good support network, and I really hope you enjoy my classes and other services I have to offer in the near future!

My name is Niomi Stromberg, I am a mum of two girls (5&7) who are my whole reason why. I want them to grow up and see a strong healthy mum, mind and body and to follow in my footsteps, knowing that they can achieve anything they want in life, whatever that may be. I have always had a very good work ethic, there was a period where I used to work 9-5 in an office, then walk to the train station, and work 7-10pm in London near on 5 times a week.. I put so much effort into what I set my mind to, which I’m very grateful for, or else I wouldn’t have gotten to where I am today in my career. I have dealt with major things, good and bad, all whilst working for myself. I always forced myself out of my comfort zone and said yes to opportunities that usually I would've been too scared to do! Which by the way, you should ALL do this, even when it’s uncomfortable! It’s the best advice anyone could give!

I studied Makeup in college back in 2011, and worked doing hair styling and Makeup alongside my full time job from 2015 until I left my full time job just after 2020. To go full time self employed. I trained in other parts of the industry also, Eyelash Extensions, LVL, Microblading, Brow lamination, and then tiny tattoos! I’ve worked very hard in my career, even for free for years, just to grow. I knew I wanted to excel in everything I put my mind to. I started to do weddings, then I worked on tv shows like The One Show, Lorraine and Tipping Point. I do adverts, fashion shoots for high end brands, I’ve been head of makeup for London Fashion Week, celebrity work and met some incredibly interesting and talented people.. some real pinch me moments! My lash and brow career also took off locally, and I was fully booked! I recently trained in Tiny Tattoos to add to my expertise, which feeds my creative side more!

I love anything to make people feel good about themselves. As I’ve gotten older I’ve realised that it’s not just the makeup I love to do, it’s actually the way I make people feel, that’s my real passion. Knowing makeup and outside beauty is temporary, what’s a better way to make someone feel good forever? The inside!

My fitness and health obsession came about in the last 2 years, working on moving my body more and my mindset, and also being around likeminded people (my boyfriend hugely included!)! So I decided a while ago to create something where I can make people feel the best they have ever felt, from the inside, and out!

Pilates was something I was always super intrigued by, after starting training in the gym, and learning so much from my boyfriend (he’s a PT!) about muscles, form and nutrition. I knew I wanted to do something fitness related, and share it with people around me. I always knew there was a way to show people how they can feel good from the inside, out. Anyone I’ve spoken to, or helped with this, can confirm that I am massively passionate about it all.

I tried reform, and I loved it. I knew there and then, I could do this? I could show people how to transform their body deep to their core. Mat pilates is so good for so many reasons, improving bones, joints, muscles, your core and more! I knew I would love it, and I did! This is how I knew that I wanted to go into teaching it, I thought it was the best route for me, especially with being a mum and experiencing fluctuating weight, to now maintaining a good healthy lifestyle. Pilates, alongside weight training, walking, making healthier food choices and drinking more water, is the BEST combo ever. I never have felt better. I knew I wanted to show people this exact way of feeling!

Freckled Club was created after I began The Freckled Tech, this was my branding for my lashes and brows! I wanted to create more of a community, combining the two - beauty on the inside and outside. Making a safe space for girls to come together and have fun getting fit and healthy, as well as feeling beautiful on the outside with my current services. I have so much more to come… including, walking clubs, running clubs, nutrition, events, online services…

The online aspect is due to realising some people do not actually get time to leave the house, and I know how hard it can be with kids / babies, to get 5 minutes to yourself. This is why I thought of online pilates via zoom, with a range of 20-60 minute classes, personalised to you and your time needs / goals! Pilates over zoom, in the comfort of your own home, personalised to you, I feel is a great idea :)

With freckled club, I am hoping to grow a lovely community both offline and online. Grouping together likeminded people, and giving people motivation and accountability through new friendships and mindsets!

As for the blog, I will be doing one post a week, interviewing other businesses in the wellness, fitness and beauty industry, alongside recipe ideas, girly chit chat and more!

I hope you love it :)
