MY STORY

I am Karen the owner and founder of Just the Tonic Holistic Therapies.

From way back when, I had always had an interest in beauty and massage, I think it is so interesting how the body and mind work, it became my passion quite quickly.

I enrolled on a part-time beauty course back in 2010 and a year later qualified in Level 2 NVQ Diploma in Beauty Therapy, the first part of my journey had begun.

I started out as a mobile therapist, visiting people in their homes, it was hard but enjoyable at the same time. I then moved into a rented room in a local hairdresser and was approached by Heart of England Training to move onto Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Beauty Therapy, on that course I would learn Swedish Massage. This is it, my chance to learn massage, my absolute passion, so I quickly signed up!

After I qualified, I started working in an award-winning salon, I loved the experience, and learnt loads but I was itching to have my own business once again. I loved the freedom and the buzz you get from it.

Just the Tonic Beauty was born, and I started back as a mobile therapist and carried out some treatments at home, but it was hard trying to work around my husband’s shifts so when an opportunity came along to rent a room at Webb Ellis Court, I jumped at the chance!

I was eager to learn more holistic therapies, so along came reflexology, pregnancy massage, aromatherapy massage, oncology massage, Reiki and crystal healing.

I created a beautiful relaxing room. It awaits my lovely clients with soft gentle sounds, lush aromatherapy scents that together make you feel like you are relaxing in a spa.

It is all about you and always will be.

My goal is to put you at ease straight away and listen to your personal needs. I make sure I explain in detail about your treatment and the products I use. It is important to me that you are comfortable. All I ask you to do is relax and float away to a place of tranquillity.

All my products that I use are 100% natural, organic and cruelty free.
