About me
Hi 👋 My name is Gail. I wear many hats.
First one is mammy hat. That is my favourite! I have a boy and a girl with a big age gap. I was told I could not have any more children, then the surprise girl came along many years later!
Another hat I wear proudly is I’m a skin and holistic therapist. I am the owner of DB Skin/Therapy which I started in April 2015 by becoming a freelance skincare consultant for TempleSpa and worked & trained myself up from there with qualifications and training including skin analysis and anatomy. My passion here is to make you feel relaxed, rejuvenated and revitalised both on inside and out. I believe in the healthy holistic approach which I even bring into my advanced skin treatments.
I am an advanced facialist, delivering exquisite facials with products and treatments caring for your skin microbiome as well as your soul with specialist training in lifting massage and lymphatic drainage massage techniques plus a skin analyst & holistic therapist. All my treatments are accompanied by pre-treatment consultations & aftercare and are completely bespoke which means they are tailored to YOU and YOUR needs on the day.. it's not one size fits all. We are all different and unique and I cater to you.
I absolutely love crystal healing and we can use crystals in your sessions too!
All of my treatments are detailed on my booking system so please check that out on my LinkTree. You can build your own treatment experience with all the add-on options available! All my treatments (even the short ones) sample my signature facial massage which involves aspects from all my training in holistic facial massage, facial reflexology & facial acupressure, facial lifting and sculpting technique and lymphatic drainage (I go with the moves you and your skin needs on the day or your treatment would be like 4 hours! 😆).
Anything you share with me at your session is strictly confidential. I am a Mental Health First Aider as well as trained in ASIST & peer support. I’m trained in SFBT & talking therapies also. I want you to feel valued, heard and cared for in any of you booked sessions.
Which brings me to another hat I wear; I founded the Silent Footprints Foundation in 2019. A pregnancy and infant loss support charity where we provide a supportive community where you can safely talk about your losses at any stage of pregnancy from early miscarriage, to ectopic pregnancy, to medical termination, to still birth to infant loss. I myself lost twins in 2014 then had life saving emergency surgery in 2015 from an ectopic pregnancy that was completely missed and ruptured. My foundation partner, Jenn lost her son Leo at full term the year before my twins and I felt I couldn’t talk to her as I thought her loss was much bigger and harder to bare than mine. But she taught me that a loss at any stage is still a loss if it’s a much wanted for child regardless of gestation. And we carry this mantra forward in our peer support networks. We have memory boxes and a memory tree for your own messages as well as other items to help and host events too around baby loss so please be sure to check out our website on my LinkTree for more information.
Another hat I wear is my other charity work for the Melanoma-Me Foundation of which I am an ambassador for. I trained with them back in 2019 to help my clients with mole and lesion checks. I can show you how to use our mole monitoring cards to keep an eye on any changes. We measure them and take photos therefore you have all this information you are armed with should you need a dermatologist referral and can hopefully cut out some monitoring time if we’ve already done it. The charity is based in the north east and does amazing things to support clients and families affected by skin cancer. As well as training for people like myself to monitor moles and know what to look out for. If you work in the therapy/beauty/hair industry please check out the link on my LinkTree on how you can do our online training to know what to look out for!
Another hat I wear as a skincare consultant for TempleSpa which I have done since 2015 and have a big reorder clientele business and you can too as I’m growing a team. You don’t have to be a therapist at all for this by the way! We give you all the training needed to spread the TempleSpa love and earn yourself lovely commission too. If you want to know more and have a no obligation chat, drop me a line: gail.dobsonburns@yahoo.com or book an in person or online slot with me via my booking system on my LinkTree.
So there they are, my main hats I wear.
I’m also a wife, married to my best friend and my absolute challenger as well as my champion!
I’m lucky enough that even in my 40’s some of my best friends have been so since nursery and a few more I’ve picked up along the way!
I’m a bit of a hippy! You’ll often find me in the sea or in a lake or up a fell, hugging a tree or under the full moon charging crystals!
Wear sunscreen peeps
Peace out ✌️
Gail DB 🫶
