Meet our Founder

Meet Emily

Founder of The Venue Training Academy
With over 15 years of experience in the beauty and aesthetics industry, Emily is a true expert in her field. Her journey began at just 19 years old, when she opened her first salon. Through resilience, passion, and a commitment to excellence, that small business quickly grew into something much bigger—eventually becoming The Venue, one of the South Coast’s most recognised and respected beauty brands.
Emily has worked alongside some of the most reputable skincare companies in the industry, continually investing in her own professional development and always staying ahead of the curve with the latest techniques and technologies. Her flagship salon, The Venue Beauty Salon in Wallisdown, opened in response to growing client demand and quickly became a destination for cutting-edge treatments and exceptional client experiences.
“I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built over the last 10 years. The Wallisdown clinic has been the heart of our brand—our testing ground for new ideas and the standard-bearer for what The Venue represents.”
Following the success of her first location, Emily expanded into Westbourne and Christchurch, building a brand that is now not only recognisable, but highly trusted across Dorset and beyond.

Why Launch a Training Academy?

Throughout her career, Emily has mentored and developed her own team of therapists—many of whom started with no experience and are now highly skilled professionals thriving in the industry. That experience sparked a deep passion for education, and a recognition of a widespread issue: a lack of high-quality, hands-on training in real clinic environments. And so, The Venue Training Academy was born.
Unlike traditional training schools, The Venue Academy offers students real-world learning inside working clinics, led by Emily herself and her experienced senior team. The courses are designed to not only meet industry standards but exceed them—preparing students for success in a competitive and ever-evolving field.
“We don’t just teach treatments—we teach confidence, professionalism, and the mindset needed to succeed in beauty. Our goal is to create the next generation of elite beauty therapists and practitioners.”
