About Me
Hello, my name is Elaine, let me tell you how I came to be a Holistic and Beauty Therapist.
After having a breakdown about 10 years ago, I decided to do something more positive with my life. I had been thinking of training to do something, but I didn't know what. During the period of my breakdown, my step daughter decided to take me to a holistic fair, it was a revelation. After a couple of 'taster sessions' of various therapies, I thought, 'I could do that'. But before I could do anything, my mother died. She had died of a massive heart attack. I was devastated, to say the least. I was plunged into the pits of depair yet again, trying to cope with mums' death, arranging the funeral, sorting out her flat and going through a breakdown. I didn't know which way to turn. Luckily I have a very good family around me. I don't know what I would have done without my husband, my own children were rocks and my step children were marvellous.
My mother in law and step aunt and cousin were wonderful. They were all very supportive. Luckily I got through everything, with the help of family, friends and professional help.
In 2003 I had to have a major operation, and during this operation I almost died on the operating table, with massive blood loss, However, after a blood transfusion and very good care at the hospital I recovered and was sent home. But a week later I was in a great deal of pain, vomiting and haemorrhaging, so an ambulance was called and I found myself back in the hospital with a severe pelvic infection. I was in the hospital for another few days receiving copious amounts of anti biotics and various other drugs. After a few days, still feeling very weak, I was sent home. I made a slow and steady recovery.
Then my husband became very ill due to stress. Whoever says 'oh it's only stress' doesn't know what they are talking about. He became a different man. He was so difficult to live with and he became very argumentative. In the end he had to give up his job at the local college, as it was that, that was making him ill. During this time, his mum, my mother in law, became seriously ill. We thought we were going to lose her. She was in hospital for several months and contracted clostridium dyfiscil, she was very, very ill; she literally became a shadow of her former self. After several operations, a heart attack and a stroke she came home, but she is a tough old bird and nothing will ever take her down. But, of course we still keep an eye on her, whether she likes it or not.
