About Susana Sarmiento
From such a tender age I loved vibrancy, colour, texture and was fascinated on making women look and feel beautiful.
I was born within the fashion industry in Lima Peru where my father was my first mentor not only in business but also taught me the psychology
behind dressing a woman. I remember being so eager to begin to make my stamp in the world that I started designing my own range of kids' shoes & accessories from the age of 10.
Through my childhood I asked a bundle of questions. Why certain garments looked amazing on a particular women (style and colour)? And why it had the opposite effect on another? With this fantastic upbringing my curiosity began and later realising that I had already embarked on my journey to empower others.
In 1989 I migrated to New Zealand where I developed an expansive knowledge in marketing, branding including owning a coaching business. I searched for a deeper meaning and a new passion which took me right back to her first joys and taste within the industry.
Once the penny dropped, I became totally obsessed and submerged myself in extensive research in science and the psychology behind clothing; understanding the profound impact a high self-image has on person's life! The secrets began to reveal themselves. My next step was to make it accessible to anyone who was searching so they too could create a change and a lasting impact in their lives.
