About Me

My name is Tanya James, and I live in Turvey with My husband and 3 children.

I studied a Higher Diploma in Beauty Therapy at The London College of Fashion. From there, I worked in various salons as a Beauty Therapist.

After having children, I started my own business treating clients in their homes in the evenings, working around my family. When we moved to Bedfordshire, I worked in the local playgroup for a while, before again, working on a mobile basis doing Beauty work. Having had an interest in Holistic therapies for a long time, I decided to study Reflexology and then Indian Head Massage at Bedford College. Once I had passed these, and built up this side of the business, I realised how much I enjoyed the massage side, and felt there was a gap in the market. I was unable to massage my pregnant friends and family, as I wasn’t specifically trained. I also was unable to recommend anyone, and so decided to train myself! I went to London, and trained with Suzanne Yates who runs the Wellmother courses. These are aimed at trained Massage Therapists, Midwives and Shiatsu Therapists. The course was just what I needed at the time, and really inspired me.

I find I can run both the Beauty business, and the Pregnancy massage together, and they actually compliment one another. I am also able to recommend various professionals, like a Chiropractor, and Pilate’s Teacher who can help with any problems throughout the pregnancy and afterwards too. I love what I do, and I am very passionate about my work! I believe that every woman should be able to enjoy her pregnancy to the full, and I am confidant that I can help. I have helped women with SPD, and other pregnancy related conditions through their pregnancy, and enabled them to live a normal life!

I attend conferences on a yearly basis, and update my training to keep in touch with the changes in the business.
