A bit about me...

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in a high-pressured office role for many years, regularly attending health spas, massage and physiotherapy treatments to alleviate the stress and tension of everyday life.  I have always loved being in the spa environment, which led to my interest in how holistic therapies can and should play a part in our overall wellbeing. 

For me, it is not just about the functionality of a treatment, but also the holistic approach of treating the mind as well as the body, creating a calming and tranquil environment, where the clients knows their enjoyment and wellbeing is at the heart of every second of their visit, from the moment they walk through the door.                                       

I am a fully qualified member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT) and Associated Beauty Therapists (ABT).

Why The Shimmering Aspen Beauty Room?

You may have heard of an old saying, that someone is ‘quaking like an Aspen tree’, if they are nervous or afraid.  This is based on the fact that the Aspen tree has green or golden leaves that quiver in the breeze.  However, there is more to this tree than meets the eye!

Folklore and mythological tales surround the Aspen tree and its hidden magical strengths.  Historically, some battle shields were made from the bark of Aspen tree, due to it being lightweight, but also because it was thought to protect people from psychic harm as well as physical harm. 

Within my business concept, the quaking aspen represents us in our everyday lives, busy and often stressed by daily pressures.  After a treatment at The Shimmering Aspen Beauty Room, like the wonderful dappling effect of the leaves in the sunshine, you leave your treatment feeling like your natural, beautiful self......calm and shimmering.
