New holistic courses are coming soon…

I’ve been working behind the scenes developing training to help therapists expand their skills, build confidence, and move further into the holistic side of the industry.

If you’ve been thinking about adding more holistic treatments or deepening your knowledge, keep watching. More details coming soon.

Exciting times! 🤗💗

A really lovely day in the academy today teaching facials.

We worked through the treatment step by step, focusing on the foundations that really matter… consultation, skin analysis, technique, and creating a treatment that feels professional and relaxing for the client.

After all these years of teaching, one thing I still believe is that you never stop learning in this industry.

Yes, I’m there to guide and share my knowledge and experience, but students often ask questions or share perspectives that make you think differently, and I love that.

It keeps everything fresh and evolving.

That’s what makes training so special. A structured, supportive environment where real skills are built and confidence grows naturally.

If you’ve been thinking about learning facials, it’s such a valuable treatment to have in your skill set and a brilliant place to start your journey. 💗

We’ve just finished a fantastic holistic training week at the Academy.

Massage, hot stones, Indian head massage, and most importantly, watching students grow in confidence.

What really stood out this week is how much demand there is now for holistic treatments. People are tired, overwhelmed, and looking for natural ways to relax, reset, and feel like themselves again.

That’s why holistic therapists are more needed now more than ever.

It’s not just about learning a treatment.
It’s about gaining a skill that allows you to help others while building something for yourself too.

Watching students leave at the end of the day with new skills, new confidence, and a real belief in what they can do is honestly the best part of what we do.

If you’ve ever thought about training in holistic therapies, this could be your sign to start.

Getting ready for holistic training this week

There’s something really special about this stage.

Before the manuals.
Before the routines.
Before the confidence kicks in.

It’s that moment where you’ve said yes, even if part of you feels nervous.

I see it all the time. People think they need to feel “ready” before they begin. More confident. More knowledgeable. Less unsure.

Holistic training isn’t just about learning techniques.
It’s about trusting yourself enough to start.
About allowing yourself to be new at something.
About showing up open, curious, and willing to learn.

If you’re preparing for training this week and your mind is full of what-ifs, that’s normal. It doesn’t mean you’re not cut out for it. It usually means you care.

Every skilled therapist was once at the beginning.
Every confident practitioner started exactly here.

You don’t need to have it all figured out.
You just need to take the next step.

And that’s more than enough.

Welcoming our new students to this week 💗

I never take this for granted.
Every message, every review, every shared experience matters.

Teaching isn’t just about passing on skills, it’s about helping someone feel capable, supported, and confident enough to move forward.

Behind every course is a real person with nerves, hopes, and a quiet “can I really do this?” running through their mind.

Being able to support you through that moment and watch your confidence grow is something I’m incredibly grateful for.

Thank you for the kind words, the trust, and for letting me do the work I love.

Thank you to every student who has trusted me and shown up for themselves. I see you, and I’m so proud of you.💗

Facials are often the first place people learn how powerful touch, presence, and skin knowledge really are.

They teach you how to slow down.
How to read skin properly.
How to adapt, not just follow a routine.

When you train in facials with us, you’re learning more than a treatment.
You’re learning confidence.
You’re learning how to consult, communicate, and care for your client properly.

And…. our facial training is suitable for complete beginners!

No pressure to already ‘know skincare.’
No rushing through steps.
Just clear teaching, hands-on practice, and real understanding.
They help you grow belief in yourself, your skills, and your ability to do this professionally.

If you’ve been curious about learning facials but felt unsure where to begin, this is a brilliant place to start.⬇️

Facials are often the foundation that everything else is built on.

What a week 💗

Holistic Week at the Academy has been such a lovely one. From Massage to Reflexology, it happened this week!

calm energy, focused learning, and so many moments of quiet confidence growing.

Weeks like this remind me why holistic wellbeing is more than a trend.

People are craving time to slow down, to feel grounded again, and to be properly looked after. And therapists who can offer that are always in demand.

If you’ve been feeling drawn towards holistic therapies, whether to add to your current treatments or to start something completely new, trust that nudge. These skills don’t just look good on a treatment menu, they genuinely change how people feel.

If holistic wellbeing feels like the way forward for you, pop me a message and we’ll have a chat .

Today in the Academy, our students were learning hot stone therapy! Holistic heaven!

They’re learning the technique.
How to work confidently with clients.
And how to deliver a treatment people truly value.

But alongside the practical training, they’re also supported with mindset.
Confidence to trust their skills.
Belief to stop undercharging.
And reassurance that they’re capable of building something real.

Because learning a holistic treatment isn’t just about what you do.
It’s about how you feel when you leave.

Confident. Supported. Ready.

Because suddenly it’s not just ‘a post’

It’s: what if?

-family seeit
-friends see it
-people from school you haven’t spoken to in years seeing it
-old colleagues quietly watching

-that one person you really don’t want an opinion from ( we all have at least that one person) don’t we? 🫣

And your nervous system goes,
Ah. Right. This feels personal.

Of course it does!

That moment of hesitation isn’t you lacking confidence.
It’s you being human and aware that people might actually see you.

Crazy right? We want people to see it- it’s but…at the same time - we don’t ?🤔

Feeling scared, awkward, or exposed doesn’t mean confidence is missing.
It just means fear and self-doubt have popped up to say hello.

Confidence hasn’t gone anywhere.
It’s still there, just sitting underneath the noise.

You don’t need to silence the fear.
You don’t need to feel brave.
You don’t need to wait until it feels comfortable.

Sometimes it’s simply about letting those feelings be there…
and showing up anyway.

Because confidence doesn’t disappear when people are watching.

It just waits for you to stop hiding.

Save this for the next time your finger hovers over “post” , and tell me, who do you think you’re most worried about seeing your content?

You know right?

What a great day! Facials! Amazing way to finish off the week!

And of course a great big Congratulations to our lovely students 💗

This is what taking the first step can look like ❤️

Beautiful lash and brow work by one of our students today.

For many of our learners, this is the start of a brand new chapter, not just a new treatment.

Learning in a supportive space, practising properly, and growing in confidence makes all the difference.

If you’ve been sitting on the idea of learning lashes or brows, this might just be your sign!

Can we just say WOW!
