The Scottish Therapy Academy

My copy of The Freedom-Based Business Method arrived and it felt like the perfect opportunity to share a little appreciation.

I’ve followed Natalie Ellis .inc and have learned so much from her training, and content. And now her book!

What I admire isn’t just the success she’s created. It’s the way she’s built a business, raised a family, navigated the challenges that come with both, and continues to show up and share what she’s learning along the way.

As women, I think it’s important that we celebrate each other’s achievements.

There is room for all of us.

Seeing other women succeed doesn’t take anything away from us. If anything, it expands our belief in what’s possible.

So thank you for the inspiration, the lessons and the reminder that growth never stops.

Who is a woman in business that inspires you?

Over the years, I’ve taught hundreds of students.

Some wanted a complete career change.

Some wanted to escape the 9-5.

Some wanted a side business.

And some simply followed a feeling that there had to be something more.

What they all had in common?

They started before they felt completely ready.

Nobody arrives with all the confidence, all the answers and a perfect plan.

They start with curiosity, take one step, learn one skill, and build from there.

It’s amazing what can happen when you stop talking yourself out of something and start giving yourself permission to try.

Maybe that’s exactly where you are right now.

Are you curious? 🧐

DM with any questions. Always happy to help💗

Holistic Body Massage is often where the journey begins.

Whether you’re looking for a career change, wanting to add a new treatment to your existing business, or simply have a passion for helping people feel better, massage is one of the most in-demand therapies you can learn.

Our Holistic Body Massage Diploma Course teaches you the practical skills, knowledge, and confidence to safely perform a full body massage treatment.

You’ll learn how to help clients relax, reduce tension, and improve their overall wellbeing while developing a skill that can be used professionally.

Many of our students start with little or no experience. They simply have a desire to learn something new and create more freedom, flexibility, and fulfilment in their working lives.

Could this be the skill that changes your future?

Today’s learning is Reflexology, a therapy that has helped people relax and unwind for generations.

One of the pioneers of modern reflexology was Eunice Ingham, often referred to as the ‘Mother of Reflexology.’

Through her work and her famous book, Stories the Feet Can Tell, she introduced the idea that the feet are a mirror of the body, with different areas corresponding to different organs and systems.

Whether you view reflexology as a way of encouraging balance, promoting relaxation, or simply taking time to reconnect with yourself, it’s a fascinating therapy that continues to be loved by therapists and clients around the world.

Today our students are learning the techniques, theory, and practical skills that form the foundation of this wonderful treatment.

Of course, before anyone says it… 😄

My weekend won’t be spent entirely buried in Ayurveda books.

There’ll be the usual suspects too:

✔ Laundry
✔ Housework
✔ Food shopping
✔ Catching up on jobs
✔ Wondering how it’s Sunday already? 🤔

But somewhere in between all of that, you’ll find me with a cup of tea, my new Ayurveda books and Marma Therapy cards, happily disappearing down another learning rabbit hole.

One of the things I love most about this industry is that there is always more to discover. The more I learn, the more I realise how much there is to learn.

And after all these years in holistic and wellbeing therapies, I still get excited when a new book arrives.

Tell me I’m not the only one who gets excited about study materials and therapy books! 😂📚

Or is it just me? 😝

You could do all of that… or… you could just become a holistic therapist. Less chaos. More calm. Still life-changing 😘

Quick age check… 🙈

If you instantly know what this is, we might need to have a conversation about how long ago our childhood was! 😂

Had a lovely evening last night at the Kings Theatre to see Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!

Chitty bang bang, Chitty Chitty bang bang we love you 🥰 😆.

Go on you know you want to sing it now.

Pure nostalgia and a reminder that sometimes the simple things are the best.

Who remembers watching it as a child? ✨

Drop a ❤️ if this brings back memories.

Are you stuck in the ‘messy middle’?

You know you want something to change.

You’re fed up feeling stuck, uninspired, or wondering “Is this really it?”

You find yourself looking at different training courses, researching options, considering coaching, imagining what life could look like if you finally took the leap.

But then the doubts creep in…

“What if I’m not good enough?”

“What if I waste the money?”

“What if nobody books with me?”

“What if I fail?”

And before you know it, you’ve talked yourself out of the very thing that could potentially change your life.

Here’s what I’ve learned after working with hundreds of students over the years…

Confidence doesn’t usually come before the decision.

Action does.

Most of our successful students and coaching clients didn’t start because they felt completely ready.

They started because they were more uncomfortable staying where they were than taking a chance on themselves.

And btw, it’s totally normal to feel scared, unsure and have doubts. You are human, so give yourself some grace!

But ask yourself this…

Is my life changing?

Are my daily actions getting me nearer to what I want?

If you’ve been thinking about learning a new skill, starting a therapy business, getting some coaching help or creating a different future for yourself, maybe this is your reminder that you don’t need to have it all figured out.

You just need to take the next step.

Because staying stuck in that messy middle? Sorry to say this (and it’s said with kindness) but you’re going nowhere.

So… shall we do this together?

What is one small action you can take today to get you a step closer to what you want?
