October is Small Business Month! And to celebrate, we’re highlighting some of the great small businesses we have throughout the region.
Today we have three businesses all about the body – a Bowen therapist, a come-to-you tanning and beauty service, and a beautician and make-up artist.
Better Bodies with Bowen 🖥️
Better Bodies With Bowen in Hillvue is providing relief to those suffering from chronic pain through the power of Bowen therapy. This hands-on, soft tissue therapy is known for its ability to help with conditions like sciatica, neck pain, bulging discs, and fibromyalgia, among others.
Cheree, the owner and therapist at Better Bodies With Bowen, has been practicing since 2015 and holds a diploma in Bowen therapy. With additional training, Cheree has developed a reputation for offering treatments that make a real difference in her clients’ lives.
What makes Better Bodies With Bowen stand out is the success clients experience after trying other treatments without relief. Many of Cheree’s clients come to her as a last resort, and word-of-mouth recommendations have been key to her growing success.
If you’re in need of pain relief and haven’t found success elsewhere, consider visiting Better Bodies With Bowen. With Cheree’s expertise and dedication, it’s a trusted choice for many in the community.
Farmer’s Tan 🖥️
“Farmer’s Tan” (no, not the type you try and avoid!) offering mobile spray tanning services in Guyra, Armidale & surrounds. Go from farm, to fabulous!
Now I know what your first thought might be about spray tans… and whilst I agree a healthy dose of vitamin D can completely brighten up your day, I learnt the importance of sun safety very early on with a family history of melanoma.
Spray tans can last anywhere from 7 – 10 days depending on your after care regime. Tailored wash-off times are discussed in a consultation with you, depending on the depth of your colour preference.
Farmer’s Tan started as I think everyone should glow, but doing it in a way that protects your skin. It’s just not worth the risk!
Hannah, country at heart originally from Warwick but now get to call myself a Guyra local, moving here after meeting my partner.
I have worked in health care my whole life and having recently graduated as an enrolled nurse, I am all about the business of care, comfort and a good dose of confidence boosting!
I have 15+ years experience, starting out tanning myself and friends. I pride myself on being non-judgmental, body positive and ensuring you are comfortable is my top priority.
Offering mobile spray tan services has had so much positive feedback! Need I mention the time saving or the privacy and comfort of being in your own home?
With flexible bookings, it suits those who don’t want to walk down the street basting away, mum’s who are unable get to a salon because of the kiddo’s, and perfect for group bookings or bridal parties.
