A Derbyshire Diary!

Written by Lisa Cadman, 28/04/2024

Hi all. So this month brought huge change for me as I moved home and business, up to the beautiful Derbyshire Dales.

I have started renting a lovely (and very old!) little cottage, and all the new neighbours have been very welcoming. It has been strange being so far away from my family, friends and clients, but it has also been lovely being nearer to my daughter who I’ve managed to catch up with twice this month!

I have started work at the stunning ‘Botanicals’ clinic in Bakewell. Do take a look at their website: www.botanicals-bakewell.co.uk . I have been mainly working on front of house dealing with client bookings, manning the phone and replying to emails etc., whilst my client list grows, but have started treating clients too. I am offering Bespoke Body Massage currently, but we are also hoping to add Hot Stones Aromatherapy Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Indian Head Massage, and Thai Foot Massage to my list soon.

In addition to that I am going to be trained in their Facial treatments so I can start offering those. Their therapists have been very welcoming and helpful as I find my feet here. Starting somewhere new can be quite daunting and challenging (especially when you have run your own business for over 21 years!) but it is also nice being part of a team, working with other therapists from different work backgrounds and experiences.

If you are visiting this area for a short break, or to visit friends or family we would obviously love to see you! Botanicals offers Bespoke Body Massage, Maternity Massage, Reiki, Reflexology, Facials, Manicures and Pedicures as well as looking after Eyebrows and Eyelashes! They also have a stunning range of organic products available.

They are one of the few clinics I know to have been awarded the ‘Soil Association’ accreditation, and their products are used by many amazing practitioners, spas and other customers such as Claridge’s Hotel in Mayfair!

This area is stunning. I sadly haven’t had a lot of time to explore the surrounding areas as yet, but there are loads of gorgeous little villages that I drove through when looking for rental properties, that I would love to see more of. Obviously there is also the beautiful Chatsworth House and Haddon Hall on the doorstep that are on my list of places to visit, and I’m yet to find out where the nearest National Trust places are to here! It’s been a very busy month!

I am missing all my family, friends and clients down south dreadfully, and wouldn’t say Derbyshire feels like my ‘home’ as yet… but it’s very early days, and it’s certainly a very beautiful place to be, with very friendly, welcoming folk, and it is a lovely place to live and work.

Do not hesitate to contact me anytime on: 07710 173354 or email me at: lisa@soulspace.biz. I would really love to hear from you.

Sending you all the biggest hugs in the world until I see you again.
