Hi, I'm Lucy...

I’ve always been extremely passionate about wellbeing, I trained as a Beauty Therapist when I finished school where I soon discovered I had a real passion for skincare, facials and massage and how good these treatments could make people feel, I'd found my calling! I have worked in wellbeing & beauty ever since in spa’s, salons and skin clinics as a therapist, and a trainer with some of the top brands in the industry, such as Clarins, Elemis and Neom Organics.

​

Since having my little boy who has recently turned one, it made me think about what I really wanted to do when I returned to work, I’d been working as a business manager for a skin care brand, travelling long distances most days, working long hours and although I enjoyed it, there was a lot of pressure. I struggled to strike a balance between work and looking after my wellbeing, like most of us do!

Whilst on maternity leave I wondered how on earth I’d be able to do it now that I was a mum! I knew I wanted to and had to go back to work, but if it was possible I wanted to do something that would give me a balance between doing something I love and looking after my little boy. Although I still carried out treatments for training and events, I really missed how much I enjoyed working as a Therapist and having regular clients, which is how Rivivi was born!

In case you are wondering, Rivivi is an Italian word which means to re-live or to live again, I thought it was the perfect name for the service I’m offering! It’s also not quite so easy to find a therapist to bring the spa to you and sometimes it’s just so conveniently nice and stress free not to have to go out, like having your groceries delivered! I absolutely love having treatments myself, which is one of the reasons I decided to train as a beauty Therapist, I truly believe taking an hour or so ‘me time’ and having a facial or massage is an investment in my health and wellbeing and does me a world of good, especially if the therapist has taken an interest to find out why I’m there and what I’m in need of. I always emerge feeling happier and with a new sense of perspective. Having had lots of experience working as a therapist and having treatments myself, I really feel attention to detail is so important as well as making sure each treatment is personal.

We all have different ways of relaxing and switching off, I love reading and walking too, but for me nothing beats a really good facial or massage!
