My name is Patricia Zehnder and I run a beauty salon. I originally trained as an early childhood educator and then went on to train as a crèche manager. Due to a drastic event, I had to reorient myself professionally. How did I want to work in the future? I made a conscious decision to become self-employed because it meant I could decide when and how much I wanted to work.
It was easy for me to decide to train as a beautician because I had already worked with people before. I wanted to continue to satisfy this need. The goal of doing something good for people excited me. With the cosmetic treatments, I can achieve this and also cover the psychological aspect of well-being. There is always an exchange of energy when touch is applied. That inspires me.
I completed my cosmetics training at the Bella Vita Academy. This is a comprehensive one-year training course to become a beautician with a diploma. I chose the Bella Vita Academy because I was unable to move around in large crowds when I started my training. It would not have been possible for me to sit in a classroom with over 20 people at that time. That's why the small group at the Bella Vita Academy with a maximum of 6 - 8 people suited me very well. I got in touch with Carmela Ramundo, sought a personal conversation and also had a look at the premises.
I particularly like the atmosphere at Bella Vita Academy, because it's quiet, warm and welcoming. I was taken by this. I felt a good sense of harmony during the course. Other reasons for choosing the school were the type of training, where the focus is always on the individual and the holistic nature of the treatments.
I apply the knowledge I have gained as a beautician to my work in my own practice within my own four walls. The founding of SoulSkin GmbH, my studio, was also a dream come true for me. I don't just want to work with and on the skin, I also want to be there with my soul.
At the Bella Vita Academy, cosmetics training is completed with a diploma. In addition to the written, oral and practical examinations, this also includes writing the diploma thesis. This was a special experience for me, as I was able to experience many steps in my self-development during this time. I was able to process my past in the diploma thesis and record my further path with the cosmetics training through to setting up a business.
I would certainly recommend the beautician training to others because I was able to learn on a holistic level at the Bella Vita Academy. I was able to learn and benefit a lot from the trainer. In my opinion, it is a good reorientation for people who like working with people and want to start their own business. To become a beautician, it is important to have the flair to want to come into contact with other people. You also need to overcome any possible shyness about touching people, because in the beauty profession we are in trusting contact with our customers.
