A bit about me..
I moved back to Cornwall in 2000 after spending about 10 years living in the USA working as a project manager in the Media & Communications/Advertising industry.
After coming back to my hometown and then settling down in Cornwall and having my beautiful daughter, Matilda in 2001, in 2004, I decided to completely change my career paths with something to fit in with my new family life and to better fulfill me and so I went on to start the beginning of that journey and completed my Access to Nursing course. I then went on to start my degree in nursing in Cornwall at the Knowledge Spa in Truro.
After 2 years of degree level nurse training, I decided to change my training pathway in healthcare and so transferred courses and then started my degree in Complementary Health Therapies in 2007...and so then pursued a great passion of mine in bodywork. The training was extensive and included...
Homeopathy
Nutrition
Herbal Medicine
Organic Chemistry
Osteopathy / Chiro
Bachs Flower Remedies
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
Dissertation on Acupuncture
Sports Injuries
Anatomy & Physiology (certified)
Deep Tissue Massage (certified)
Aromatherapy (certified)
Reflexology (certified)
I loved every minute of this degree!
I went straight on and completed my BA (Hons) degree and also attained several professional qualifications as well throughout the 4 years intensive training. I then continued on to further advanced massage and sports training with CPD courses.
I then went straight into my PGCE training with a view to starting continuing on to a research based masters in Complementary Health. I will still be undertaking my masters sometime in the close future.
I immediately started to teach Anatomy and Physiology professional certifications and Aromatherapy professional certification courses at 2 local colleges as a fully qualified lecturer.
After I was made redundant from my lecturers job, I then decided to return to my private practice and and to launch my business as my now main profession and sole business. This was a great journey and my business has now been established for the past 15 years I am proud to say.
This career is very fulfilling and I am lucky to have the opportunity to work in many different locations offering my bespoke spa and a therapeutic mobile massage service to holiday homes, local hotels, yoga retreats, surf camps and also to my own local clients. I offer a wide range of spa massage treatments bringing the spa experience directly to you wherever you are in SW Cornwall.
I look forward to treating you
Best wishes for your wellbeing
Yolande
