Hello!
So I thought I'd reintroduce myself and tell you a bit about me ❤️
My name is Shona, and I first was introduced to massage when I was 17 years old - I left school and had ZERO idea what I wanted to do career wise! I'm not the most academic, I couldn't think of anything worse than call centres or receptionist jobs, didn't think I was particularly great with kids, so for me it was a toss up between Hairdressing or Beauty Therapy at college. I chose Beauty and hoped for the best! As soon as the massage unit started I just fell in love with it I was obsessed with watching my tutors hands and how she moulded to the body, I felt like I enjoyed watching it more than being the one receiving it! So it was 100% meant to be!
I worked in Mcds along side college and ended up getting stuck in a rut and stayed in Mcds for TEN years and didn't do anything with my qualification!! what a waste! I'd massage friends now and again but that was it! I had not very much confidence in myself so that was a huge factor in that silly choice. anyway long story short - after about 8 years in mcds i went back to college to study for a higher qualification in Beauty- HND - which was HARD btw!! don't let anyone tell you beauty is easy coz my F**k I almost died!
After college - I finally got a job at The Fairmont, and then I moved on to The Old Course Hotel where I spent the majority of my career. I had small breaks to have a baby, I tried Gleneagles Spa , and salon work but The Old Course always felt like home. I worked my way up to Premier Therapist where I was also the in-house trainer for a short while but after being there so long, I just felt i'd gone as far as I wanted.
I love a Spa Experience and how special a treatment feels, it's not 'just a massage'. It should be an amazingly thorough massage - yes - but also a DEEP RESET button for your mind and soul.
So although I can't offer you a swim, sauna, steam room or whirlpool bath 😭😭😭😭 I can give you a bloody good massage!!! 😃 and that I promise 💝💕
