Dr Brooks set up Mirabel Clinic in 2006 after completing advanced training in cosmetic injection treatments at an expert training course run by a team of Consultant Plastic Surgeons. She completed her laser training in 2009. She is a member of the British College of Aesthetic Medicine and the Aesthetics Complications Experts Group. She regularly attends conferences and training updates to learn about the latest advances in cosmetic medicine, laser and skin treatments.

Dr Pippa joined us at the beginning of 2017. She is a fully qualified GP who shadowed Dr Brooks for several months in order to learn from her vast experience. She has completed advanced training in cosmetic injection treatments too. We are happy to offer a 10% discount on our standard injectable prices for treatments with Dr Pippa.

Dr Kathryn Ryland initially joined us to cover Dr Pippa’s first maternity leave. She also runs her own popular Saturday injectable clinics when not covering for Dr Pippa. Like Dr Pippa she is a fully qualified GP. Dr Ryland has completed all relevant training and has shadowed both Dr Pippa and Dr Brooks to ensure consistency and continuity across our three practitioners. We are happy to offer a 10% discount on our standard injectable prices for treatments with Dr Ryland.

Helen O’Brien our aesthetician, joined us in August 2018. Helen’s areas of expertise are laser hair removal, HydraFacials and SkinPen treatments. She is fully qualified in these areas, amongst others, and attends regular training updates to keep abreast of new protocols and techniques. Helen’s passion is in all things related to caring for, improving and maintaining the best skin health possible by using appropriate clinical treatments, products and home care routines. Her skin care and product knowledge is extensive.

Rena Jarman joined us earlier in 2024 and has settled in very quickly. She previously worked in a multi-award winning, doctor-led, CQC registered, cosmetic medical clinic in Surrey and has several years experience in aesthetic treatments. When she moved to the Swindon area she was recommended to us by the owner of her previous clinic who is a colleague of Dr Brooks. Rena is experienced and qualified in laser hair removal, HydraFacials, SkinPen, Heliocare and her particular passion is the ZO product range.

Debbie Sandison, the clinic manager, has worked for Mirabel since 2010. A long time friend of Dr Brooks the two enjoy working together. Debbie oversaw the move to Wood St back in 2016 and really enjoyed the whole process. As she originally worked remotely when we were based at The Shalbourne Suite she now enjoys actually meeting our clients face to face.

Tanya Savage is one of our part-time receptionists. Tanny joined us in July 2020 and brings many years of customer service experience to the role. Having worked in the Marlborough branch of Cath Kidston in the past some of you might recognise her face. When not at work Tanya can be found enjoying long walks with her dogs in the countryside, with her nose in a good book and spending time with her grandchildren. You’ll find Tanny at the clinic on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Nancy Dean is the other friendly face you’ll meet on our front desk. She has a strong background in administration and customer service, having most recently run a busy office for a local business. A long-time friend of both Debbie, our clinic manager, and Dr Brooks, Nancy already knows Mirabel well. Outside of work she enjoys sewing and other creative projects, as well as spending time catching up with friends. You’ll find Nancy at the clinic on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

Our Minor Surgery Clinic is led by Dr Abi Smail MBBS BMedSci MRCGP DRCOG DFSRH. Dr Smail works as a GP and has extensive experience of performing minor surgery in General Practice over many years.

Dr Brooks and the team are always happy to offer complimentary initial consultations as we believe that it is very important to advise you on the most suitable treatments, tailored to your individual requirements, before any commitment is made by you.
