Testimonials & Praise
"People who know me can really see the difference in me! I always though "Image Consultants" are just for rich people. I thought dressing and looking good is all about spending money. Charmaine has proved me wrong and shown me otherwise. I feel like a new person and I cannot even begin to say how many complements I get every day! How is this for an example: My husband (who tends to be a very quiet person) asked me why I was suddenly glowing and looked so hot ;). My C.E.O at work walked past my desk and came back to tell me how awesome I looked and asked me what was I doing differently. Well here is what is different - it's Charmaine! You would be amazed how much difference it makes knowing your colours and outfit style that best suit your body type. Not to mention, all of it without breaking the bank!"
Tasnuva Husan,
Faculty Research Officer
"I had my style and colour analysis with Charmaine almost 6 months ago. She provided me excellent and extensive advice about colours and styles and about what colours look best on me and what styles to wear to suit my body type. I find it easier to pick what to wear for work and other occasions. Charmaine has helped to understand the impact of different colours and outfits. Now when I go shopping I save time and money on only styles that suit me. I have been complemented on my look since we have worked together. If you are interested in highlighting your beauty and improving your self-confidence, schedule an appointment with Charmaine. She will be a wonderful help!"

Senior Project Consultant
“I worked with Charmaine to coach me for a
design summit presentation. There is
tremendous value in the services I received.
Charmaine helped me with structuring my talk
as I was not sure how to start, end, or how to
infuse some humor and lightheartedness.
Charmaine was calm and patient, working with
my style. There was an encouraging approach
applied to my situation with not too much
pressure and consistently good pointers
throughout our engagement. We had a chance
to work both in person and online with videos,
focusing on the content and the presentation
skills. My main obstacle was to overcome was
the potential lack of confidence and projection
power when speaking to a larger audience of
professionals. There was a possibility of
hesitation on my part if I was to be
challenged by individuals with experience
in the subject superior to mine After a bit
of time spent with Charmaine, I felt helped
and much more confident - the presentation
went flawlessly!”

"Charmaine is so knowledgeable about her work
and she knows exactly how to walk her clients
through the process. Thanks to Charmaine, I'm
educated about the subtleties of dressing for my
body type and personality. Also thanks to
Charmaine, I looked awesome at my 2018
conference for new entrepreneurs where I both
hosted and presented. If you're advancing in
your career or have a huge opportunity to be on
a stage, Charmaine must be one of your first
stops. She enhances your look and up levels
your public image at the same time”

“I was blown away by your presentation on Maximising Your First Impressions.
It was great to get an insight on how much
non-verbal communications such as
appearance make such a huge difference.”
Sean Barnes
Release Manager
“I had the pleasure of seeing Charmaine speak
about personal style and image.
She is extremely motivational. I came out of her talk feeling an increase in confidence about my own professional image. In addition, I was able to take away clear strategies and techniques that I can apply to the way I dress.
I would recommend Charmaine to anyone who
wants to increase the quality of their first impressions”
Connolly Aziz

“Charmaine was well prepared and very
knowledgeable. She was able to keep the audience
engaged. Great presentation!”

“I attended Charmaine's "Maximising Your First
Impression" workshop, and picked up a ton of
tips on presentation I never thought of
otherwise, especially around business attire
(5 levels, I thought there was only one!) and the
importance of colour in conveying a certain tone.
It was incredibly helpful, and her presentation
style easy to follow along with. If you get a
chance to attend one of her sessions, do it!”

Charmaine as a host”

“Charmaine spoke to our business professional
women’s group recently and spoke about a
common issue for women ... stop buying clothes
you don’t wear! She was engaging and had a
positive message for everyone that attended! I’d
recommend her as a speaker for any
professional women’s networking group!”
