The reaction to their transformation and them walking out of my studio feeling confident is the most fulfilling aspect of what I do.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018For me, it\u2019s not about changing how someone looks, it\u2019s about giving them confidence and reminding women that they are worthy.\u2019<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Supporting women to step into their power<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Loraine is passionate about helping women break free from limiting roles. \u2018My mission is simple; it\u2019s to empower women.

You will never get to the top if you don\u2019t start climbing. When I look back, being single for four years with two children was tough but I made it. Don\u2019t just give up, go through the storm.\u2019<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Family, faith and inspiration<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Loraine credits her mother as her role model. \u2018My mom is a dressmaker so my sister and I were always exposed to her creative flair,\u2019 she says. \u2018After we completed school, my mom built her very own successful business.
