From Learner to Professional Spa Therapist and Entrepreneur
Following the successful completion of the Combined Beauty Course at Pathway Group in January 2024, Louise took the bold step of launching her own beauty business. Initially, she welcomed a small number of clients and anticipated a gradual start — a common scenario for new ventures in the personal care industry.
Recognising the need for a steady income while building her client base, Louise sought employment to complement her business activities and provide financial stability.
Career Progression
In May 2024, Louise secured a position as a Spa Therapist at the prestigious Crewe Hall Hotel & Spa. This role presented the perfect opportunity to refine her skills and gain industry experience. Through extensive training with Elemis ambassadors, she became proficient in a variety of specialist treatments, including pregnancy massage, deep tissue massage, Elemis facials, and deluxe facials.
As a result of her dedication and rapid development, Louise became a fully qualified Elemis Professional Spa Therapist — a significant milestone in her career. Nearly one year into her role, she continues to thrive in a positive, supportive environment. She credits the management and staff at Crewe Hall Hotel & Spa for offering unparalleled flexibility, allowing her to balance childcare, her home life, and her business commitments effectively.
Business Revival and Expansion
After relocating in September 2024, Louise temporarily paused her business to focus on her new job, settle into her new home, and undertake a course in reflexology. Now, with renewed clarity and ambition, she is relaunching her business with an updated treatment and price list.
Her services will be offered from a home-based setting, with mobile treatments available in select areas. This dual approach provides clients with both convenience and comfort.
Passion and Future Aspirations
Louise’s passion for her work is evident. She finds genuine joy in helping clients feel “happy, confident, relaxed, rejuvenated, balanced, and whole.” Her future aspirations include expanding her knowledge and treatment offerings in the massage and holistic therapy space. She also continues to improve her waxing skills, finding great satisfaction in delivering excellent results.
Grateful for the support she received during her training, Louise credits her tutor, Nadia, for believing in her and helping her grow into the confident professional she is today.
Conclusion
Louise’s story is a testament to how high-quality vocational training, personal determination, and professional support can transform lives. From course completion to becoming a qualified spa therapist and entrepreneur, she exemplifies dedication, growth, and a deep commitment to her craft.
She is a true success story and a role model for aspiring beauty and holistic professionals.
