Course Leader
Emma Yarwood – Clinical Trainer
Hi, I’m Emma, a Clinical Trainer at Lynton. I joined the team in 2018 as a Senior Practitioner at The Lynton Clinic and became Clinic Manager in 2021. Alongside my clinic roles, I started assisting with courses and masterclasses at the Lynton Training Academy, which sparked my passion for training. Now, as a Clinical Trainer and qualified assessor, I support both of our training academies and help our customers grow with confidence.
Before joining Lynton, I worked in the beauty industry for over a decade, in both salons and retail. In 2012, I decided to take a life-changing break, volunteering in India, Thailand, Malaysia and Cambodia – an experience I’ll never forget!
What I love most about my role is its variety. From traveling across the country (and even getting stuck in an Orkney Island snowstorm!) to meeting new people, every day is different. Sharing my knowledge, especially with those new to the industry, and watching them grow is incredibly rewarding.
My hands-on experience in busy clinics, including working directly with Lynton devices, means I truly understand our customers’ challenges. As a trainer, I’m patient, supportive and always here to help – even after training is complete.
