spa news Step into beauty


Macdonald Linden Hall Gold and Country Club has welcomed its first Spa apprentice as part of the highly accredited ‘The Macdonald Way’ beauty step programme.


The apprenticeship, which aims to invest in the personal development of the individual, has selected Sophia Potts from Morpeth in Northumberland as one of their 17 apprentices.


With an interest in beauty and make-up from an early age, Sophia was determined to embark on a career path that would maximise her creative ambition as well as drive her interests and help her succeed. She enrolled in a two-year Art and Design college course and sold paintings and portraiture to help fund her own business.


She said: “The Macdonald’s apprenticeship program has given me the freedom to continue my painting, whilst enabling me to apply my creative talent to a brand new side of the industry that I have always been interested in. It is a really exciting step for me!”


The Macdonald Way programme enables Sophia to work four days a week, including one-to-one tuition where her Spa tutor will teach her the Macdonald missions, values and techniques.


Infinity and beyond…


The final stages of the Spa at Ramside’s £8m developments have officially opened, introducing two new features.


An outdoor Spa Garden and vitality pool (pictured above), plus a relaxing infinity pool, can now be used by guests at the Spa.


The vitality pool can be used by guests on a Spa day or Spa experience, as well as members of the Spa and hotel, whereas the infinity pool is available to use at an additional cost for special occasions or small groups.


“We’re very excited that we are now able to offer our visitors and members even more facilities,” commented Jill Russell, Spa Director.


Other apprentices joining ‘The Macdonald Way’ include Cassie Richardson for Macdonald Manchester Hotel & Spa, Jade Astbury for Macdonald Portal Hotel, Golf & Spa, and Tessa Clothier for Macdonald Bath Spa.


The Cobella Clinic is launched


Kensington Spa, Cobella, have launched the newly refurbished Cobella Clinic.


The concept is new to the Spa and allows practitioners from the industry to provide their services from treatment rooms at the Cobella Day Spa.


Practitioners of the new clinic include Whitestile Beauty Clinic, an anti-ageing Laser medi-Spa that offers treatments such as The Soprano Ice Laser Hair Removal; Skin Matters, who offer targeted facials as well as Ellipse Nordlys IPL and Laser; Hiro Tohma, specialists in Shiatsu, Reflexology and Thai Massage; plus So Be Well, providing a selection of holistic therapies including chemical peels and organic facials.
