An entrepreneur has built a successful business in Neath offering alternative therapies after a personal family tragedy in a bid to improve the accessibility of wellness in the local area. Selena Booth founded Magnolia Health and Wellbeing centre with her daughter Hannah and best friend, Jayne Mogford, after her husband Richard Booth passed away from a rare form of cancer.
Mrs Booth decided to launch the business after seeking ways to come to terms with her loss and exhausting traditional medical routes for mental and physical recovery before trying alternative medicine acupuncture. The centre offers 15 local wellness therapists and offers holistic wellness and beauty treatments including homeopathy, reflexology, hypnotherapy and art psychotherapy.
It also supports others living with cancer, offering free treatments to people fighting cancer on select Sundays in memory of her husband. Since its launch, Magnolia Health and Wellbeing has been supported through NatWest’s Entrepreneur Accelerator Hub.
