WSBHT Founder, Principal and Beauty Therapy Tutor

Hello, my name is Tia and I am the founder and principal of The Wiltshire School of Beauty and Holistic Therapy. I have been a qualified beauty therapist for 27 years and a lecturer in beauty therapy for 25 years.

Ever since I qualified as a beauty therapist, I opened and ran my own business, which I thoroughly enjoyed and still do. I loved it so much I wanted to pass my skills on to others so I looked into teaching.

I was employed by an FE college and felt so passionate about passing on the knowledge and skills I had acquired, I thought “what if I opened my own private training school!”.After extensive research of the industry, I believe I have created a unique learning experience, so here it is –

The Wiltshire School of Beauty and Holistic Therapy

Every student that walks through the school door receives the very best training, it is intensive but we concentrate on exactly what needs to be learnt!

On one to one or in small groups the teaching and learning is fun and relaxed yet professional.

I am devoted to providing a school of excellence where it is my philosophy that every student receives dedicated attention and extensive experience whilst training here at The Wiltshire School of Beauty and Holistic Therapy.

I am also extremely proud that WSBHT has been nominated in the top 4 best training schools in the UK! I am so so proud of this achievement!
