Kim — paediatric nurse in training, skin specialist and founder of Bella Jules

"Passion turns into expertise."

Kim · Skin Specialist & Founder

Meet Kim

Hi, I'm Kim — skin specialist, and the heart behind Bella Jules.

I'm Kimberley Hodson-Walker — Kim to everyone who knows me — and I founded Bella Jules Beauty, Aesthetics and Training here in Ossett. With 30 years in the beauty industry behind me and now training as a paediatric nurse, that blend of hands-on experience and clinical study shapes everything I do: a real understanding of skin, a focus on safety and results, and the warm, down-to-earth care my clients come back for.

As a qualified skin specialist I offer advanced aesthetic and skin treatments from my Ossett salon — and through the Bella Jules Academy I train the next generation of therapists. I believe in small groups, real hands-on practice with live models, and support that doesn't stop on certificate day. I don't just teach treatments; I teach the understanding and confidence that turn passion into expertise.

Our Philosophy

What we believe in

Kim training students in the academy treatment room

Knowledge over certificates

We produce practitioners who understand what they're doing and why — not just therapists who can follow a protocol.
