Please provide some dot points about your business journey:
- Started SOMA by accident after being offered a job massaging the carers at Fleurieu Health Service.
- After noticing a gap in the market I started doing mobile beauty therapy to help service those that were unable to get to the salon. SOMA had a strong focus on treating the older members of the community, disabled and stay at home mothers.
- After a few years working in some of South Australia’s best spas and salons I wanted to quit working for someone else and focus solely on SOMA proving my clients with a wide range of treatments and spa products.
- In 2018 I had the honour and pleasure of taking over the gorgeous skin care brand Land Of Lilly Natural Skincare, an organic skincare range started in 2010 in the Adelaide Hills.
