Hayley Gilbert has been a therapist for nearly 20 years. She runs her own mobile business, Hayley’s Pampering in Your Own Home, bringing the spa to people’s homes, and she specialises in massage and facials. So why would someone with that much experience come back to train with us?

I think it’s really important to refresh on your current skills and learn new techniques.

Already a therapist, raising a family

When Hayley came to Plymouth Holistic Training, she was already a working therapist, juggling her business with raising her family. She came to us to add to her skills.

The best bits, and the hardest

Like many experienced therapists who come back to train, the trickiest part for Hayley was finding time to fit in her case studies around her regular clients. And the best bit?

There is always lovely people on the courses to share ideas and thoughts with.

Where is she now?

Hayley has been mobile for 6 years and loves the little business she’s created, helping people relax and unwind in their own homes.

If it brings you joy keep doing it.

Her advice if you’re thinking about training

Do it, there is definitely more to learn.

Coffee, the sea and lifting weights

Away from work, Hayley has two children and a husband who keep her busy (“they have a better social life than me!”) and an 11-year-old rescue dog. She lifts weights three times a week and loves going for coffee and being by the sea.
