Patricia Daver

Patricia Daver is a qualified beauty therapist and aestheticienne who specialises in skin camouflage. She works both from home and at her local NHS hospital, treating patients suffering disfigurement from cancer and vitiligo to burns and scars.

These conditions know no bounds of race or colour of skin and each has an unique emotional impact on the lives of every individual. The pressures are particularly intense on younger people who are subjected daily to media and advertising strictures that physical unblemished beauty brings success .

Patricia gets great satisfaction from empowering patients by teaching them how and what camouflage to apply so that they can do this effectively and independently on a permanent basis.If she is successful life can become more bearable to the wearer who is then in a better position to cope with their disfigurement.

Patricia is a New Yorker who moved to London thirty five years ago to marry Berjis, who himself came to England from Mumbai India and subsequently carved out a successful business career. They have two children.

She studied for her diploma at the age of forty and was able to lay the foundations of a satisfying and rewarding occupation and at the same time finish the task of raising her children.

Patricia’s interests include reading, singing in her local choir Harrow Harmony, playing bridge and keeping herself fit at her club.
