"Fashion is Architecture, It's all a matter of proportions"
Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel

Linda was drawn to Image Consulting by genetic predisposition. Her grandmother operated her own highly successful hairdressing salon in Sydney's CBD. From the time that Linda could hold a hair brush she knew she was destined for a career in styling. It wasn't long before she started to show her talents.

As a young teenager Linda apprenticed at the Steiner Salon at "Georges" of Collins Street Melbourne. It was here that Linda was awarded with the salon's highest achievement, "The Steiner Trophy" for outstanding flair and ability.

Together with these skills Linda acquired a Diploma of Beauty Therapy; an internationally recognised accreditation from Elly Lucas College. She graduated as dux of her year of over 200 students for the highly acclaimed "Science Award".

But it is more than just style that Linda brings to her profession. Linda has learnt what counts in business and prides herself on her natural ability to connect with each client, understand their needs and help them create and achieve their vision.

All of this combined, with Linda's attention to detail, and her thirst for knowledge in her field has been built over 3 decades of successful business including founding the well known "Flinders Bread" brand that she established in the 1980's.

As with so many women today, Linda understands the challenges of balancing both business and family. Her life has been typical of the kind of stresses women face daily.

Linda's experience has given her valuable insights into what modern women often lack:

• Time for themselves,
• Time to remember who is at the core of the family
• Time to rebalance what is taken out.

Today Linda operates Complete Personal Styling, a Style and Image consultancy business specialising in a wholistic and personalised approach for women of all backgrounds.

Linda is currently representing the Melbourne Chapter of the AICI (Association of Image Consultants International) as an official board member.

Linda also supports the "Look Good Feel Better" program; a free national initiative assisting patients undergoing cancer treatments, as a volunteer in their workshops.
