The personal touch behind Aura & May
Aura & May is more than just treatments to me—it’s a space built on connection, trust, and genuine care. I’m naturally a bit of a chatterbox, so appointments often feel more like a catch-up than a clinical visit! I love getting to know my clients, their lives, and what truly makes them feel good.
Medical Expertise
Beyond the cozy atmosphere is a foundation of rigorous medical training. My journey in healthcare is extensive, ensuring you are in the safest possible hands:
- BSc Adult Nursing – University of Lincoln
- MSC / PGDip Specialist Community Public Health Nursing – University of Hull
- V100 Prescriber – University of Hull
- Foundation Aesthetics – Academy of Banda
With my background as a Nurse and Health Visitor, along with my deep safeguarding experience, I’ve completed numerous advanced CPD courses in Dermal Filler, Botulinum Toxin, Microneedling, Skin Boosters, Mesotherapy, Dermaplaning, and Vitamin Injections.
The Aura & May Experience
Your experience is just as important as your results. I’ve created a space where you feel safe, supported, and genuinely cared for:
- Tailored to You: Whether you want a good chat and a laugh or a Silent Appointment to truly decompress and switch off, I always tailor the atmosphere to your needs.
- Aesthetics at Home: I understand the juggle of busy lives! If you can't make it to the clinic, I can travel to you once the kids are tucked up in bed, bringing the professional experience to the comfort of your home.
- Nurse-Led, Safety-First: Your wellbeing and comfort are always my top priority.
- Honest, Ethical Advice: I will always recommend what is appropriate and safe. I believe in integrity over "over-treating."
- Holistic, Person-Centred Care: I don’t just focus on the treatment I look at the whole picture, including your lifestyle and what feels right for you.
Outside of the clinic, I’m all about balance and simple joys you’ll usually find me out walking, recharging for my next day with you all.

Who is Sophie May?
Hi, I’m Sophie May.
I’m a qualified nurse with a background in health visiting and safeguarding, and I’ve always been someone who enjoys working closely with people and building genuine connections. I like to keep things relaxed and friendly, and I think that naturally helps people feel comfortable straight away.
Outside of work, I’m usually out exploring with my fiancé Matt and our dogs, or planning my next idea. I love food (especially a good Indian 😅), enjoy reformer Pilates, and I’d say I’m a bit of a hobby enthusiast, I’ve tried everything from roller skating to pole fitness, the gym and meditation… I’m very easily influenced into a new hobby.
I’m also quite a spiritual person, and that naturally feeds into what I do. For me, it’s not just about how people look, but how they feel too. I’m a qualified wellbeing coach, and alongside Matt, who is a neurodiversity coach with a psychology degree and counselling diploma, supporting people to feel more confident and comfortable in themselves is something that really matters to us.
I’d describe myself as down to earth, easy-going, and someone who enjoys a good chat, but also understands when people just want to switch off and relax.
At the heart of everything, I just want to create a space where people feel comfortable, looked after, and a little bit more like themselves, nothing over the top, just genuine care and a friendly face.
"Choosing Aura & May was the best decision. I feel heard, cared for, and absolutely love my natural results. It's truly a sanctuary."
