HOW DID I GET HERE?

I Qualified as a beauty therapist in 1994, My first job was working as a therapist in a leisure centre and further setting up a business in the late 1990’s (purity body and beauty) where I further went on to study holistic therapies. After having a break from the beauty industry to raise my daughter. I decided to change my career to work for the NHS and later Qualifying as a Registered Mental Health Nurse. I have always had a keen interest in the beauty industry and not dissimilar to nursing, helping make a positive difference in some way, whether it is boosting self-esteem, confidence and instilling peace and tranquillity. I have always being passionate about maintaining a good skin care routine, and never fell out of love with beauty.
That is why…
I returned to the beauty industry a couple of years ago, training in Aesthetics and  completing the educational training in Dermalogica skincare range. The are not tested on animals, give great results and leave your skin feeling amazing which is what I want my clients to feel when they have visited Beckside spa retreat. Each treatment is bespoke to you. I use face mapping to give you a skin analysis and treat accordingly.

NOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT I LOVE….. you see it’s all about love, relaxation and pampering.

What Jo loves…Skin! I have a passion for skincare, I love being an Aesthetic and holistic practitioner and I loved my mental health nursing career. 
My favourite thing to do is ski, which I discovered later on in life. I love walking, running, art and being creative and also running Beckside cottage our lovely holiday let. But most of all I love my husband Ian and family & the most favourite thing is being a mum and owner of our herd of Alpacas. In my spare time you will find me in the field with the alpacas. My favourite movie is The holiday which i love to watch every year. So watch out for our Christmas twighlight spa evenings with an outdoor Christmas movie & champagne
