Image Consultant

Relooking: Changing The Way People See YOU

Many people wonder what relooking is. We live in a society of image and appearance. We are often judged and categorized at first glance. One's self image is as important as the people looking at you. Therefore we need to be satisfied with our appearance.

The role of the Image Consultant is to help us when there is a problem. The work of an Iimage Consultant is to help us to be at peace with ourselves - in terms of how we look - and to help us to show ourselves to our best positive advantage.

Bronia Kratzheimer is originally from Vienna, Austria and previously worked as a language teacher. She is a ployglot: French, Italian, German and English. She has worked intensively with other relooking consultants and also has a background in the theatre, which contributed to the development of her method.

Relooking is as important for men as for women, especially as in terms of professional image and dress codes. Contact Bronia on 01 46 28 97 14 .
