About Me – The Heart Behind the Magic

Hi, I'm Vicky, the heart behind Dolled Up Pamper Party and The Animal Archetype Project™. My journey has always been about understanding the mind, building confidence, and helping children believe in themselves. With years of experience in mental health, child development, and education, I've worked with children from all walks of life; some facing big challenges, others simply needing a little extra encouragement to see their own strengths.

My background has given me the tools to create unique, psychology-informed experiences that blend fun, learning, and self-care. Whether it's through play-based confidence-building activities, mindfulness techniques, or creative self-expression, my goal is always the same: to help children leave feeling stronger, braver, and more in love with who they are.

Everything I do is built on the belief that what we tell ourselves shapes who we become and I'm passionate about giving children the tools to tell themselves the best story possible. A true business rooted in meaning and healing.

Hey There!

With a knack for psychology and teaching and a triple degree (MA, PGCE, BSc Hons, MGBT) on my journey towards a PHD, I've poured my knowledge and passion into creating Dolled Up Pamper Party and The Animal Archetype Project™ experiences designed to blend fun, learning, and self-discovery.

At the heart of everything I do is one simple belief: what we tell ourselves shapes who we become. So let's tell the best story possible one filled with joy, confidence, and developing the tools to navigate life no matter what it throws at us.

Our Values

Our Values – The Heart of Everything We Do


At Dolled Up Pamper Party, The Mask Bar, and The Animal Archetype Project™, everything we create is guided by a deep commitment to empowering children, fostering self-love, and creating magical, meaningful experiences. Our values shape everything we do, from the way we design our pamper sessions to the way we encourage children to embrace their strengths.

Gentle & Nurturing
We believe that self-care should be kind to the skin and the soul. That's why we work with a botanist to ensure that only the gentlest, most sensitive ingredients go into our skincare products. Every experience we offer whether a relaxing face mask ritual or an empowering Animal Archetype session is designed to nurture and uplift.

Confidence & Self-Worth
True beauty comes from within. Our goal is to help children see their own magic to recognise their strengths, talents, and uniqueness. Through self-care, mindfulness, and positive reinforcement, we help build a sense of self-worth that lasts far beyond the party.

The Power of the Mind
Through The Animal Archetype Project™, we teach children how the brain believes what we tell it a concept known as the self-fulfilling prophecy. By filling their Animal Archetype Books with inspiration, affirmations, and the wisdom of their unique animal archetype, they learn how to shape their thoughts in a way that supports confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of self.

 

A Safe & Inclusive Space
Every child, and their parents, deserve to feel welcomed, celebrated, and safe. We create judgement-free, supportive environments where children can be themselves, express their emotions, and feel truly valued.

Joy & Connection
Our experiences are designed to bring joy, laughter, and a sense of belonging not just for the children, but for their parents too! Whether at our relaxing reception area or through our Party in a Box, we take care of everything so families can relax, connect, and make unforgettable memories together.

Empowerment Through Knowledge
We believe that knowledge is power. By teaching children how their thoughts shape their reality, we give them tools to rewrite negative beliefs, embrace their strengths, and step into their full potential. Whether through pampering or personal growth, our mission is to leave a lasting impact on every child we meet.
