When the stresses of life can sometimes feel overwhelming or challenging, it’s so important to surround yourself with good people… and I think this photo really encompasses that 🤍
We had such a lovely catch up yesterday, chatting about all things spa and education, sharing ideas and putting the world to rights!
Kate and I are also very excited about an event we’re planning for January 2027, with a little help from our friends.
Lots more to come on that soon, but for now, just feeling grateful for good people, good conversations and exciting plans ahead.
✨ Stay ahead of the industry. Level up your expertise. ✨
With legislation and industry standards evolving, now is the time to invest in your skills and qualifications.
Microneedling continues to be one of the most sought-after advanced skin treatments, helping to:
✨ Minimise the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles
✨ Stimulate collagen & elastin
✨ Improve the appearance of pigmentation
✨ Refine enlarged pores
✨ Reduce the appearance of broken capillaries
✨ Improve overall skin texture & rejuvenation
But becoming an advanced skin expert is about more than learning a treatment technique. It’s about developing a deeper understanding of anatomy, physiology and the skin so you can practise with knowledge and confidence.
Our Level 4 CIBTAC Microneedling Qualification is a globally recognised, Ofqual-regulated qualification designed to help you advance your knowledge, elevate your skill set and stay ahead as the industry evolves.
🎓 Invest in your education. Elevate your expertise. Stay ahead of change.
DM us for course dates and more information. ✨

✨ Spa Partnership Spotlight | Archerfield, Fletchers cottage✨
Last week, we had the pleasure of visiting our wonderful spa partners at Archerfield for a strategy meeting and to plan for an exciting milestone ahead.
This October, we’re delighted to welcome Joe onto our next Spa Traineeship, where he’ll be working towards his CIBTAC Level 2 Facial Skincare and Level 3 Body Massage qualifications.

A huge welcome and well done to our August intake of Level 2 Facial Skincare Therapists! ✨
These amazing students have now completed their fundamental practical training, with theory embedded throughout their hands-on learning. They’re now moving on to complete their individual learning plans, checking in week by week with their fantastic trainer, Carol, for continued guidance and support.
They’ve done an incredible job so far, and it was wonderful to hear such positive feedback from their models. We’re so proud of their progress and can’t wait to see them continue developing their skills and confidence! ✨
We’re already looking forward to welcoming our next intake in October, and we currently have just two spaces remaining.
