I am thrilled to announce that I passed all of my practical assessments a couple of weeks ago and my last exam today, so I have now completed my Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Beauty Therapy! Wahey!!
Just under two years and I am a fully-fledged beauty therapist in all of the following treatments:
So much has happened in those two years; in fact two really big things - I suddenly lost my mum in the middle of my first year, and I got married in the middle of my second year - yet, I'm the first person in both years to finish all my assessments and exams so quickly. COME ON!!! (Hey, if you don't boast about your own achievements, who else will?!).
It just goes to show that when you're passionate about something and you strive to succeed, then you can get there whatever life throws at you. I also think the world of beauty has provided a really lovely sense of focus, direction and creativity during otherwise quite emotional times.

SO....what next?!
As anyone who knows me well will know, I'm not one for resting on my laurels and sitting around. The north wind has blown (a la 'Chocolat') and we are going to be leaving Suffolk after two and a half happy years and moving back closer to home, to the beautiful seaside town of Bournemouth!
My brand spanking new husband has bagged himself a great job overlooking the beach, and I am currently working out what I'm going to do....
At the heart of it all I want to bring beauty to people who need it - exhausted mums, time-stretched business big wigs, elderly people who find it hard to get to a salon, people going through a tough time, etc - because a simple manicure or massage can make you feel infinitely better. It gives me a great deal of satisfaction and provides some purpose to my life.
I also want to keep on learning. The world of beauty is constantly evolving and there are lots more treatments I'd like to be able to learn and provide, so watch this space....
Are you in??
If you're local to Dorset/Hampshire/Wiltshire do drop me a line and let me know if you'd be up for some beauty treatments or if you have any ideas for me - click here!
I'm feeling excited and creative and inspired and look forward to seeing what my next beauty chapter will bring....
SUFFOLK FRIENDS - I will be working at Seckford Spa until the end of of June and will have more spare time to offer my own beauty treatments in and around Woodbridge till we leave in early July, so get in touch!
With love,
