Shade

I'm a qualified Esthetician, Remedial Massage Therapist and Clinicial Aromatherapist. Regarding the latter, I have trained in and subscribe to the French School of application, not British.

I was in the process of developing small consultancy and associated product line in early 2009 when I was halted by natural disaster (bushfire).

The ensuing months were spent rebuilding the community and recalibrating my vision. Things tend to alter when adversity strikes and I ended up relinquishing my initial plan in favour of a much smaller one.

In February of this year, I embarked on further study (naturopathy) and this is proving to be quite an interesting journey for me.

Presently, I run a bespoke wellbeing service whereby I see clients on a one-to-one basis in minimum two hour allotments. In addition to massage, aromatherapeutic and beauty treatments, it is here I utilise my oil blends and salves I've been developing as well as researching what people actually want in a wellbeing practitioner.

I also have a small nursery from where I sell herbs and native plants.

While my client base is mixed, a growing percentage is made up of nursing mothers and all of my referrals are by word of mouth.

I practice under my own name at present and have a government registered business number as well as a comprehensive insurance package with which I protect my business, my clients and myself.
