Hi, I’m Joanne — and welcome to Oak Wellness. I’ve been working in the beauty and wellness industry for over 25 years, and it’s still something I’m deeply passionate about. My goal is simple: to help people feel good in their own skin, offering treatments that relax, restore, and genuinely make a difference. Oak Wellness is a calm and friendly space where you’ll always be treated with care and honesty.

Professional Journey
My journey into beauty and wellness began over 25 years ago, when I qualified with a BTEC National Diploma in Beauty Therapy. From there, I continued to expand my knowledge and skills — gaining a Level 3 qualification in electrical and beauty treatments, as well as becoming an ITEC-qualified Reflexologist and Aromatherapist. I’ve always been passionate about education, so I went on to earn a Diploma in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector, which led to a 10-year career as a lecturer, training and supporting the next generation of beauty therapists.
Beyond the treatment room, I’ve had the privilege of working in management roles and helping develop wellness businesses — combining hands-on therapy with leadership, customer care, and operational growth. A highlight of my career was working for Lady Bamford at the Bamford Spa at Daylesford Farm, where I spent four years immersed in a truly holistic and luxury wellness environment.
These experiences have shaped not just my technical expertise, but also my approach: I believe in combining professionalism with warmth, and creating a space where people feel truly looked after.
Oak Wellness
I've been qualified as a beauty therapist since earning my BTEC National Diploma. My journey didn't stop there—I went on to become a lecturer, teaching future therapists for 10 years. Along the way, I've managed spas in hotels and various establishments, including a wonderful experience at the Bamford Spa at Daylesford Farm for four years. Oak Wellness was born from a vision I’d held for many years — to create a calm, welcoming space where people could come not just for treatments, but for genuine care and long-term support. After years of working in high-end spas and teaching in the classroom, I wanted to bring together everything I’d learned into something truly personal.
Since opening in 2022, Oak Wellness has become a quiet haven tucked away in the Cotswolds, offering a wide range of bespoke treatments — from advanced skincare and reflexology to holistic therapies and traditional beauty services. I’ve designed the space to feel relaxed, unrushed, and honest. There are no hard sells, just thoughtful, tailored care that respects your time, your skin, and your well-being.
What sets Oak Wellness apart is the blend of clinical knowledge, deep hands-on experience, and a truly human touch. Whether you’re here for a skin treatment, a moment of stillness, or long-term skin health, I’ll always take the time to listen and guide you in a way that’s right for you.
I live in the beautiful Cotswolds with my family, and balance has always been important to me — in life, in work, and in the treatments I offer. I’m often described as warm, calm, and easy to talk to, which I believe is essential when someone is placing their trust in you.
My approach is built on empathy, care, and a deep understanding of what people really need — not just from a treatment, but from the whole experience. I take time to get to know each client, to understand their lifestyle, skin concerns, and what makes them feel most at ease.
I’ve always believed that if you genuinely care for people, it shows — and that ethos runs through every part of Oak Wellness. Whether someone is coming in for a one-off treatment or working with me over months to improve their skin health, I aim to create a space that feels safe, comfortable, and completely unpretentious.
For me, wellness is about more than products or procedures — it’s about how you feel when you walk out the door.
