Helena graduated from Elite in 2015 with an International Diploma in Beauty Therapies. “I chose to study with Elite because it has a reputation for a high industry standard of training, I wanted to train somewhere reputable that employers recognise”.

But it does take dedication and hard work, and with the support of the highly skilled and knowledgeable

tutors at Elite, Helena was able to take that in her stride. “I absorbed everything intently and as a result

feel very confident in all areas of Beauty Therapy.”

“I love making people feel good about themselves, whether it’s helping them improve their skincare

regime or a simple lash and brow tint. It’s so awesome making people feel happy and confident.”

As the beauty industry is always developing with new products and services

But it’s something that one of our graduates, Ashleigh Scott, has managed to do in the years

since she graduated from Elite.

Ashleigh was drawn to beauty therapy from an early age. “It just felt like a natural step for me to follow this path. I can remember being 12 or 13

and giving my mum and dad facials using mum’s skincare products.”

Ashleigh had a clear-sighted vision for the clinic she wanted to create and the values she would hold true no matter what fads and trends emerged.

“I want to inspire and educate women on how to care for their skin holistically,” says Ashleigh. “As well as giving amazing facials and products, we teach about the impact of their diet, stress levels, hormones, lifestyle, and home and work

environments on their skin.”

It’s an approach that is striking a chord with consumers. Since The Facialist opened its doors

in early 2014, Ashleigh has filled her schedule to capacity, and has taken on and trained three

therapists in her clinic — not bad for a 25 year old!

Helena Miles

Ashleigh Scott

Finding a job which is “an absolute dream come true”

can be hard to do, but Helena has found her place, first as a beauty therapist and now as

the Spa Manager at Remadee Day Spa in Hamilton.

The beauty therapy industry is highly competitive,

meaning it can be difficult to stamp your mark.
