"If you want to be different, just be yourself"

Having a life-long interest in the countryside, health, well-being, affordability, cruelty-free products and using natural products where possible. My mobile holistic business brings the best to my clients by doing the best for the environment and local communities of Skipton, Craven and Keighley.

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 specialising in aromatherapy and holistic treatments. My passion for natural source of healing combined with plant extracts and massage therapy was realised.

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 training with the Institute for Tai chi for Health running regular classes in Skipton, Craven and Keighley and supporting local community wellbeing organisations providing healthy lifestyle activities. Most recently training as a walk leader and delivering wellness walks for community groups businesses and organisations.

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.

My latest achievement has been working alongside Bradford District Council and Cliffe Castle Support Group, developing the Cliffe Castle Wellbeing Route at Cliffe Castle Park Keighley and the accessible pathway in Cliffe Castle Museum.

What makes my heart sing? My family who have been with me every step of the way, my cocker spaniels, gardening for pollinators now I consider myself a keeper of the bees. The great outdoors, wildlife and nature conservation still playing their part.

At present I am a trustee/volunteer member of Cliffe Castle Support Group

I support community activities in the museum and park, I also post a regular wellbeing/environmental social media post every Friday connecting individuals and community engagement. See more here on CCSG link.
