Is Spring Officially Here?

We have been blessed with some warmer weather of late, all that wind still has a chill factor to it! That volcanic cloud is still causing us some bother, and causing disruption for many travellers, how stressful for those involved.

I have spent the last four years retraining with holistic therapies, juggling my study schedule around two very active kids. They both play ice hockey, and somehow, along the way, I got roped into being a team manager too! The hockey season runs from September through to the end of April, although they train all year round.

Now the season has come to an end, I thought I might of found myself to have a bit more free time, but no, I have several courses lined up in May. A manicure and pedicure course at the beginning of May, and a trip to Brighton at the end of May for a course, specialising in pregnancy massage. Both treatments I hope to add to my already growing business.

I am constantly updating my website, so please take time to have a look.

Working for myself has been a life long ambition, and I wanted to do something that I would enjoy and also enabled me to expand with as well. I have always been interested in complementary therapies, so this path seemed the natural choice.

Getting the business up and running has been a long, slow process, lots of market research was required, along with laying out a business plan, financial forecasts, book-keeping spreadsheets, insurances and governing bodies and not to mention all the legal requirements for the dreaded taxman! Yet it's not fazed me yet! I have some great support from many friends that keep encouraging me with it all.
