Michelle finds true peace in new base
SOLUTION stressed office for out workers may have been found – after massage therapist and reflexologist Michelle Mills moved to Globe House business centre.
It’s proved to be a great move for Michelle, after deciding to open her own premises earlier this year.
She had been based Serenity in previously at True Castleton, but when they relocated, Michelle took the opportunity to open up her own place.
With more than 100 clients in the borough, Michelle wanted to stay nearby.
So, after viewing various shop units and salon spaces and drawing a blank, she decided to go back to the drawing board and take the more unusual step of looking at the borough’s managed office market.
After searching for nearby offices on the internet, Michelle came across Kingsway-based Globe House - managed workspace run by the council.
She said: “I was just searching on the internet for inspiration and when Globe House came up I liked the look of it.
“It was a bigger space than I’d initially been looking for but I thought it had the potential to really work.”
After taking a look around, Michelle signed up and set about creating a relaxing environment inside her office unit for her business Holistics and You.
The extra space meant she’s been able to add to her growing list of services which include holistic massage, deep tissue massage, Indian head massage and aromatherapy massage.
She also practices reflexology and hot stone massage.
Michelle recently studied the powerful mind and body treatment Ayurveda in India, designed to help you stay vibrant and healthy within a world of change, which she also plans to introduce at the business.
As her customers continue to grow in number thanks to recommendations and daily enquiries from her website Michelle’s new venture is certainly keeping her busy, which means a 10-minute commute from her home in Balderstone is very handy.
“Globe House is great for my clients and it’s so easy to get to for me, so I spend less time travelling,” she said.
Clients love my new location, it’s close to transport links, there’s a managed reception, good disabled access, security, and the friendly.”
And for staff working in Globe House who may be suffering from the effects of poor posture after sitting at a computer all day – thanks to Michelle there’s now help on hand, with massage proven to help with neck and shoulder issues, stress and muscle tension.
Coun Daalat Ali, cabinet member for planning, development and housing said: “Our council-run managed workspaces have provided a helping hand and all important step up for lots of local businesses and it’s great to see a company taking an innovative approach to the space and doing so well.” free staff parking are so
