Bluebird Care West Oxfordshire Customer Creates Incredible Nail Art

Published: 28/05/2021

Sarah Holmes, a 39-year-old Bluebird Care West Oxfordshire Customer is passionate about nail art.

She has been with the home care provider for three years, and with their team on hand to support and motivate her, Sarah has passed 12 nail art courses and is currently awaiting the results of two nail tech exams. 

A nail technician called Lisa Graves saw that I had a passion for nails and encouraged me to do some courses, so I was able to work from home. After losing all my confidence, Bluebird Care West Oxfordshire helped motivate and encouraged me to restart my courses after four years of sinking lower and lower into a depression.

The Care Assistants turned my spare room into my nail room, my sanctuary, where I have found myself again. Without the continued care and support of Bluebird Care West Oxfordshire, I would never have had the confidence to submit my exams and post my creations on nail groups.

I get lost in my artwork when I am creating, even though I am in constant pain, my concentration is such that the pain becomes a background noise, and I am completely capable of managing my pain levels.

I love my Care Assistant, she’s nuttier than I am. She is highly motivated, passionate about people and won’t take no for an answer. I laugh a lot and I know I can talk to her about anything, I can simply be me and not the disabled person the world sees. In fact, I count myself lucky to have the Witney team as my team! Under their guidance, I have found the confidence to take my manicure courses and enter my various nail technician and nail art courses - I am setting and achieving my goals.

We are so incredibly proud of Sarah and everything she has achieved. Her nail art is beautiful, and it has been amazing over lockdown to havw my nails done to help her train for her exams. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for her - she is an inspiration to us all.
