UPDATE ❤️
As many of you would know life has thrown me a few lemons of late. A marriage separation and a dad diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia come in at number one and two respectively. It has been 7 months of unimaginable emotional upheaval trying to navigate a new path forward taking on another job on top of the one I already had on top of my business I also already had 🤯🥴, running a home, fixing a house on my own and most importantly embracing being a single mum and everything that comes with it.
After having the rug completely ripped out from under me I have been blessed with the most incredible support from friends, family and clients that have walked through all the darkness with me. To say I am grateful is an understatement. I could not have gotten through it all without all of the love and support. THANK YOU 🙏
For months I have tried to juggle balls and spin plates but recently with the decline in dad’s health I have been forced to face the harsh reality that I can in fact NOT do it all. The pressure has become too great and I have decided to lease the salon out and reduce my salon hours dramatically moving the business into the middle room in the main house. Since doing that a few weeks back things have changed yet again and as of the 8th of October I will be winding the business down. At the moment I am working 7 days a week which is just not sustainable. I need an extra 3 days in the week just to get everything done. God really didn’t think the 7 day week through 🫤🤦♀️.
While I will still be working a Saturday or two a month to service my regular clients I understand that the business I poured my heart and soul into for over 5 years is no longer a viable option to people as I simply can’t run it as a ‘business’ and prioritise it anymore. I have had to cancel clients so often lately due to personal reasons which I have hated doing but family has just had to come first, my priority has to be myself and my family now and I have become utterly exhausted trying to manage everything. It’s time to let go of the old and embrace the new.
To everyone that has supported me from the start and became not only my clients but my friends THANK YOU. Holistic Aromas would not exist without you. I have been blessed to have met every single one of you and have you become part of my life and part of my journey.
I haven’t yet finalised Saturday dates in Fresha yet. I hope to do so over the weekend. Please reach out if you have any questions or booking enquires.
