My Story

My Journey: From Darkness to Light

Hello, I’m Jyoti, born in Birmingham, England, into a traditional Indian Gujarati family. From an early age, my mother introduced my sisters and me to transformative practices such as meditation, chanting, and dance, guiding us to awaken to our Divine Purpose. My name, Jyoti, means “light” in Sanskrit—a name given with the intention of bringing light into the world.

Tragically, at 16, I lost my mother and sister in a car accident. This devastating loss initially derailed me from the path of enlightenment and guidance my mother had begun to teach me. Yet, it was within this darkness that I discovered the beginnings of my inner light.

At 17, faced with significant family losses, I found the strength and independence to leave home and carve my own path. Driven by a desire to find beauty and meaning in life’s chaos, I pursued a degree in Visual Communication and Space Design at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising.

Graduating opened new doors, and I embarked on a vibrant career. Starting as a photo stylist for Robinsons-May Catalog, I honed my eye for detail and aesthetics. This led to roles as a window display artist and fashion stylist, refining my creative vision and versatility.

However, it was my journey with Bobbi Brown that truly aligned with my core values. Becoming a certified makeup artist with Bobbi Brown was transformative. Inspired by their philosophy that everyone is beautiful in their own way and that makeup is a tool to enhance natural beauty, I embraced this ethos, profoundly shaping my career and personal outlook. This way of thinking sparked a remembrance of my earlier teachings and a soul-stirring awakening, reconnecting me with the transformative practices my mother introduced to me. It reignited my passion for helping others find their inner light and embrace their unique beauty.

For over 20 years, I’ve applied the skills and principles learned at Bobbi Brown, resonating deeply with their approach to beauty. This journey has not only shaped my professional expertise but also helped me embrace my unique beauty style and personal story with pride.

Expanding beyond makeup artistry, I now offer hairstyling, meditation teaching, and sound baths, integrating the inspiring philosophies of yoga and the Bhagavad Gita into my practice. These elements enable me to provide a holistic approach to beauty and well-being, empowering individuals to connect with their inner selves and express their unique beauty.

My mission is to empower individuals to embrace their confidence and individuality, believing that beauty transcends appearance and captures one’s true essence. This belief guides my practice, allowing me to connect deeply with those I meet and help them see their unique beauty.
