Business Spotlight: Balance
Hollie Runnalls went to Wadebridge School and then trained to
be a registered nurse at The University of Plymouth. Three years
abroad followed, with periods working in hospitals and clinics
in both Australia and New Zealand, specialising in cosmetic and
surgical nursing.
When she returned from travelling, Hollie then worked within
the NHS and private sector as a Registered Nurse, working in
Dermatology and general surgery.
Hollie always dreamt of having her own business, offering a
holistic approach to well being and skin health, bridging the
gap between a medical clinic and a spa, but Covid meant that,
like many in the NHS, she kept working at the hospital until she
managed
to secure
premises on the Rock Road. ‘On a day
off from the hospital, I was out helping
my mum with her Holiday Home Waste
Collection business, when I noticed the
premises was available. I contacted the
landlord, John Bray, and he was incredibly
helpful in ensuring I was able to adapt the
building to the needs of my business, and
Balance was opened in July 2021.’
The business was an immediate success, so
much so that Hollie now has two employees
who are as passionate as she is about skin
health and total wellbeing. ‘We are committed
to giving people time and to be treated as
a whole person, really getting to know each
person who comes to see us.’
Balance now has extra treatment rooms and
Hollie has invested in additional medical
equipment in order to provide the best and
safest treatments for her clients. A new
website is also being developed, allowing
clients to gain a better understanding about
what Balance offers.
Hollie has made a long journey from
Wadebridge School to Australia and New
Zealand and back to Rock, picking up
experience and ideas wherever she has worked
and she is now happily settled at Balance.
