truly essential
If you want to be different, just be yourself" Living and being brought up on a
hill top farm in Yorkshire. Having a life-long interest in the countryside,
health, well-being, affordability, cruelty-free products and using natural
products where possible, I bring the best to my clients by doing the best for
the environment in the process. A little about me… I studied rural science at
school which I enjoyed as it covered life cycle of native animals, plants and
trees, natural habitat, conservation and land management at a basic level, art
and history also firm favourites. In my late twenties I decided to return to
college to pursue a career in hairdressing and soon to be followed, by a two
year course in beauty therapy. My passion for natural source of healing combined
with plant extracts and massage therapy was realised. At this point I was
working full time in a local beauty salon in Skipton, returning to Craven
College to study aromatherapy part time for a further year. After gaining
valuable experience in the beauty salon, whilst having a young family I worked
part time for Next PLC Skipton. This position built my confidence, varied retail
business and social skills, working with amazing colleagues, as a sales adviser
occasionally a weekend manager. Moving forward I started my own business as a
beauty and holistic therapist treating my clients in their own homes or local
businesses. Always interested in building and growing my business, I have
further trained in several holistic therapies, which include aromatherapy
individual blends. I am also a qualified Tai Chi for Health instructor with my
own classes in Skipton, Craven and Keighley, support local community wellbeing
organisations providing healthy lifestyle activities. My family, friends and
clients have always helped and encourage me with my career choice, offering to
be guinea pigs when I have required models for new treatments and accepting my
flexible working hours. In the past I offered my expertise as a volunteer
complementary therapist, aromatherapy practitioner at the local wellbeing cancer
support centre in Skipton. I have also held the volunteer position of chairlady
of SWIFT (Support Women Inspiring Friendship Training) a local (Skipton Craven
Keighley) small business networking group formally known as WorcNet supporting
small businesses, charities, local organisations and groups. Due to the pandemic
the networking group no longer exists.
