Ceris Hart has absolutely everything you need for your body and soul with the opening of her new premises on High Street in Eltham.
The new store for Absolute Body and Soul was officially opened on Saturday by South Taranaki District councillor Gordon Lawson, and with the expansion of Ceris' business comes opportunities for other local businesses to grow too.
With qualifications in therapeutic and relaxation massage, Absolute Body and Soul can help with anything from sports injuries to tension headaches, as well as offer consultations and products from the IT Works body wrap and skincare range.
"For four years I have run the business out of my home and built up my client base, so I have a lot of support behind me in growing this venture and have had a huge amount of help getting my store front ready to open." Ceris says she would like to show the same support to other local business by offering a place in her new premises to grow their own ventures.
Ceris is already working with clinical aromatherapist Noeline Thorne who is offering aromatherapy consultations and products through the store. Local artist and Ceris' partner, Steve O'Neil is creating made to order steel art pieces from his business 'Oh Art' through Absolute Body and Soul, some of which are already on display in the store.
