Trudy Fleming
The director of TRF Group, Trudy Fleming, has been a specialist electrologist and trainer in this area for 30 years, and has extensive experience both in the clinical aspect and as a trainer. As Intense Pulsed Light became available for hair removal; so Trudy’s focus moved into this area.
Trudy attended a comprehensive Pulsed Light and laser course in Massachusetts, USA in 2001 and shortly after started using Intense Pulsed Light in her own clinics.
Trudy returned to the USA in 2002 for further study with clinical, medical and scientific specialist and was also a guest lecturer whilst there. Trudy continues to broaden her knowledge and visited Denmark in 2003 to study with specialist there.

Besides specialist training, Trudy has also obtained two Australian Laser Safety qualifications and of course is a qualified teacher, graduating from Melbourne University in 1997. Trudy Fleming possesses a Certificate IV in Trainer and Assessor.
All this specialist knowledge , on top of the clinical work at the Fleming clinics puts Trudy and her training staff in a unique position to offer the best in Pulsed Light education.
Trudy’s teaching style is unique. She has a very relaxed manner which attracts people, putting students at ease. This way she is able to get the best from those that attend her courses. People are not afraid to ask questions and join in to their fullest. When English is not your first language, Trudy is especially helpful and understanding. Having taught adults for years, Trudy is very aware of the implications of going back to study, and also the difficulties when bringing up a family, working and studying simultaneously, [she has done it all herself so has first hand experience!].
