Hi, I am Kara
On leaving High School i continued my education at college enrolling on a BTEC Beauty Therapy Course. After a year i enrolled on to a BTECNational Diploma in Sports Science Studies passing with Merits and Distinctions. I then returned to my studies in Beauty Therapy as i previously only completed the first year. Within this year of 1996 i completed my NVQ 2 & 3 (V.T.C.T.) in Beauty Therapy also i qualified in Aromatherapy (I.I.H.H.T.) and Epilation (I.H.B.C) . Further studies followed, i took my Masters Diploma in Sports Therapy, followed by reflexology (I.I.H.H.T.) and many other holistic courses.
Having gained experience as a full time Beauty Therapist during 1996/97 I made the decision to start up my own business by offering a mobile service for Beauty Therapy in Wigan and the surrounding areas. My next step on the ladder was to move from mobile into premises in Standish, Wigan and as my business grew and became more established, in 2000 I relocated to a larger two storey building in a more central location in the town.
With many years experience I now had the opportunity to pass my knowledge and enthusiasm on to students in the field of beauty therapy. I enrolled on a ‘City & Guilds Teacher Training Course’ in 2001 and started teaching VTCT at Runshaw College. This enabled me to pass on my extensive knowledge within the industry.
