You will identify how your relationship to your self-image has impacted on your life choices. Popular culture worships youth and prescribed body shapes and you will see how this media-imposed magazine perfection and the negative views of normal shapes and sizes affects you. Over our lifetime negative remarks about our body and even casual comments can have a lasting effect on our self-image. We are not born with the instinct for self-loathing - we learn it. In the end, all we see when we look in the mirror are what become our glaringly negative features. The day will offer you the opportunity to explore how you may have been restricted or how you have limited yourself in life by negative inner talk (your thought viruses) regarding your body, style and image.

You will look behind why you are not confident in a smart suit or in certain styles and materials. You will leave understanding why you have been passed over by the opposite sex or by your employers. You will leave being aware of how you portray yourself and why. Most importantly, you will leave with the tools to transform yourself into the person you really want to be. You will leave having restored your natural harmony of body and mind.

Before the day you will be asked to answer some preparation questions. There are no right answers, this is an enquiry that starts when you book your consultation and continues after you leave. You will explore

- your motivation to come and what you want out of the day (you are offered a choice of services)
- what you feel passionate about, what you admire in others
- the kind of visual impression you feel you are making and the one you want to create across the spectrum of social events in your life
- where and when you feel at your most and least confident
- an exact picture of your best and least favourite features and your emotional relationship to your body image
- where you have been criticised in your physical appearance and how you describe yourself inwardly
- your shopping and mirror checking behaviour

The setting for the day is Deborah's luxurious, beautifully situated peaceful and comfortable home, overlooking stunning views of Derbyshire. The day is most effectively enjoyed with a friend or family member who you can trust to listen to you carefully throughout the day. The day is tailored to your individual requirements based on the answers to the questions that you give before the day. You will create your unique style and image profile and be colour analysed using the new tonal system. You will be able to understand the principles of this system, not just be lumped into a category, and you will receive a CUSTOM-MADE swatch to assist you in buying your clothes. You will be given advice regardig how to disguise your least favourite features and emphasise your best features and can take away tip sheets to help you in your choices. You will be offered a light, nutritious lunch and you will be able to choose from a range of additional services including wardrobe analysis or make-up lessons (with a relaxing Decleor facial).

You will be advised what to bring with you when the day has been planned for you depending on your requirements. Don't feel as though you have to dress up for the occassion, come in comfortable clothes to relax in for the day.
