I ‘am currently studying International spa management at the University of Derby Buxton, but have been working as a spa therapist for the past four years. I have a passion for delivering excellent treatments at a high standard and am extremely capable of working in a fast paced, pressurised environment and adapt well to new surroundings. I find my job highly rewarding due to the healing experiences my clients experience. My aim is to keep up to date with new and upcoming spa trends in order to develop and gain as much knowledge as possible about an industry that is ever changing, along with striving to be the best therapist I can while delivering professional treatments to my clients.
