About Olga

Olga Brennand’s passion for super natural skincare is rooted in her childhood in Kazakhstan. Growing up in such an extreme climate, Olga became only too aware of how environmental stressors can impact the complexion and how natural remedies can help protect it.

After graduating from the Lomonosov State University of Moscow with an Honours degree in Philosophy and Politics, she went on to acquire a medical nursing qualification before studying scientific skincare at the Institute of Cosmetology in Moscow.

Olga moved to the UK in 2010, having built on her extensive knowledge working with some of the world’s leading skincare pioneers including Swiss Line, Mila D’Opiz, Guinot, Cosmedix and Carole Franck, before becoming Senior Spa Therapist with Estee Lauder.

She continued her skincare journey in London, at Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Selfridges and a number of Harley Street skin care clinics, including the Avanti Aesthetics Academy, where she still practices.

Olga currently divides her time between the capital and North Norfolk, where she runs a successful independent skincare clinic in Southrepps. Having developed her own method of skincare therapy, known as sculpting face massage, Olga has been admitted as a full member of the Guild of Therapy Lecturers.



Olga offers bespoke skincare treatments and programmes, for which she creates specific products to suit individual needs, following a consultation.

Based on her expertise in advanced skincare, a deep-found belief in the power of organic, plant-based ingredients, Olga has developed her own natural skincare brand, Thirns.

With quality and sustainability at their core, the products are all hand-crafted by Olga, each one as kind to the planet as it is to your skin.

She uses all natural and organic creams and she understands what is right / best for your skin. The atmosphere / feeling in the treatment room is calm and peaceful. Anna de Soissons
  • The atmosphere / feeling in the treatment room is calm and peaceful. The first time I went to see Olga my skin was dry and tight and felt itchy in the evening and in the mornings, my skin now feels so much more flexible and no longer feels taut. The whole “Olga” (Thirns] experience is spoiling and enriching and you come out feeling a million dollars. Anna de Soissons
