Jane Van Velsen
Body & Face Aesthetics
I started in beauty back in 1989, and what began as a small beauty salon is now a growing aesthetic clinic. I own Body and Face Aesthetics Clinic and also work at Elkstone Studios in the Cotswolds.
Over the years, beauty treatments have evolved so much – and I’ve loved evolving with them! I’m always learning, from the latest in CO2 laser, to HIFU (high intensity focused ultrasound) for advanced skin tightening and body contouring. My clients lovingly call me the "fat reduction guru", but I’m just as passionate about non-surgical face lift – and now, I’m thrilled to offer EMS FaceLift+ and BodyLift+ using EMS and RF technologies for non-invasive facial lifting.
Being the owner and practitioner is a pleasure dispite of all the hours, marketing and admin. We laugh a lot in the clinic but we also listen to our clients
The best part of my job? Seeing your confidence soar as you start to feel more like you.
Pop in for a free consultation – I’d love to hear your story and help you choose what’s right for you.

Aesthetics
Pharmacist MPharm IP (Master of Pharmacy, Independent Prescriber) & Aesthetics Practitioner
Since graduating from Cardiff University in 2017, I've been a qualified and practising pharmacist. With a genuine passion for helping others and a medical background, combined with my love for beauty, training in facial aesthetics (Dermal Fillers, botox, polynucleotides, B12) was a no-brainer.
Adhering to the belief that enhanced natural beauty can be achieved at any age, I delight in seeing the smiles my treatments bring to clients.
In my personal life, I enjoy spending time with my husband, whether in the Cotswolds for walks or, more often than not, in the gym or dining out.
Always happy to meet new people and discuss the right treatments for you.
Jerusha Smit
Permanent Make Up Artist
(Brows, Eyeliner & Lips)
I aspire to perfection in semi-permanent makeup.
Passionate about my art, I view each treatment as a live masterpiece. A natural perfectionist, I possess an eye for design and a fervour for enhancing natural beauty. Using subtle definition, custom cosmetic artistry, and permanent makeup techniques, the best part of pmu treatments is when a client realises they never have to apply lipstick, eyeliner, and brow colour again! Freedom!
I love working with Jane and expanding my qualifications.
Elkstone Studios is a lovely venue to work and the coffee is great!
