Anna Millard

Anna heads for success!

Anna Millard’s new job was inspired by some of the treatments she received when she was off work with anxiety and depression. “During the 6-7 years that I was unable to work, I found that meditation and holistic therapy really helped me cope both emotionally and physically. I became really interested in how alternative therapies could help people and I attended an Indian Head Massage taster session at the Gateway in Shrewsbury and enjoyed it so much that I signed up at SCAT to study for a diploma in Indian Head Massage.
“After I had completed my qualification I needed some help and advice in how to implement my skills within the workplace and that’s when I was referred to Enable”.

Vi Price, Senior Mental Health Employment Officer, encouraged Anna to sign up on a Business Enterprise course and was able to discuss work options and help Anna with her concerns about going back into work.
“Vi helped ease the process of getting back into employment and helped me to set achievable goals. She really encouraged me and helped to organise some Indian Head Massage taster sessions at the Enable office which went really well and boosted my confidence”.

“When Anna came to Enable she had already overcome a lot of her issues but needed some extra support with that last final hurdle” Vi commented. “Anna had an idea and wanted to put it into practice. Anna is a pleasure to work with; she is so enthusiastic and focussed”.

“I set myself a goal to be back in work and earning again by my thirtieth birthday and I turned thirty this year. I am thrilled with my achievements so far and can’t believe how far I’ve come”.
