Serene Holistic Therapy

Creating a haven of calm in the midst of a stressful world

About Me

Hello I'm Karen Phillips, the owner of Serene Holistic Therapy (previously Serene Holistic Beauty).

I started my business in April 2016 intially offering beauty therapies and from June 2017 I expanded my business to include Complementary Therapies. My aim is to provide holistic treatments for female clients, with a strong emphasis on relaxation, reducing stress and an increased feeling of wellbeing.

I am based from my home in the Round Hill area of Ingleby Barwick, where I provide a quiet, restful and welcoming environment where you can be indulged and pampered.

An Idea Is Born

After many years working as an Administrator in the Civil Service, I was becoming dissatisfied with my increasingly stressful job and needed a new challenge. I have always had a strong interest in complementary therapies having sought them out to help with my own gynaecology health problems. So I made the decision to retrain for a completely new career.

After enroling at Darlington College, I gained my VTCT Level 2 Diploma in Beauty Therapy in June 2016 and followed this with a VTCT Level 3 Diploma in Complementary Therapies in June 2017.

In November 2017 I left my Civil Service job and I am now pursuing a career which I love. I especially feel very passionate about supporting women, whether its through their pregnancy, the menopause or with female health issues such as endometriosis.

It's never too late to start on a a new path.

I am an Independant Consultant with Neal's Yard Remedies Organic .

Neal's Yard Remedies is a UK family owned business creating organic, natural health and beauty products which are free from harmful chemicals. They are dedicated to trading ethically and have never tested on animals. I am proud to be incorporating their products and essential oils into my holistic therapy business.
