Hello, I'm Colleen
I love guiding you to live a passionate life, with radiant skin, free of pain, filled with confidence and purpose.
I am a... Licensed Massage Therapist Energy Healing Therapist Intuitive Healer Certified Hypnotherapist Metaphysician Licensed Esthetician |
So, people are curious, I get it. This might help out then ... I'm closer to 50 years old, and if you're super curious about what I use in my routine then here ya go!
~Every night I cleanse with Peppermint Cleanser ~Every morning I cleanse with Sweet Lupine Cleansing Creame ~Every morning moisture routine Spritz with Rose Spray 4-5 drops of Camellia Oil As recommended Bio-Energy Lift Contouring Creme ~Twice a week - Sweet Cherry Brightening Enzyme Daily - Botanical Brightening Serum on my dark spots (crazy sun in Australia gave me these!) OK, I have a couple of odd scarring on my nose and I use it here too (about 1-2 times per week) ~Sometimes I'll use some Vitamin C Revitalizing Lotion for a mid day pick me up. ~A small amount of concealer (currently, this foundation) under my eyes ~Colours for eyeshadow depends upon what I am wearing, normally it is a brown for contour and a lighter shade for the rest ~Black or Brown for eyeliner ~Mascara is the only thing I wear that is not totally good for me - I do my best, but it is difficult to find ones that don't run down my face by the end of the day :( ~and a bit of a rosy-red colour on my lips ~My evening routine for moisture? Honestly, this depends. I am continually sent products from other companies (I am so thankful for their interest in my business) so this is where I try those out. Many I like, but nothing has compared to Naturopathica for my skin. I love it and am honoured to continue to offer it to you! ~For my hair I use camellia oil and ~Moisture for the rest of me is Unscented lotion and some sort of oil (depends on my mood) I was just sent some Lavender Lotion from another company. I LOVE it and am considering carrying this. It is from Farmaesthetics! ~I love Micro current and my BT Micro - these I do once a week. The micro current more often if needed. These are offered as my Intensive and Signature Facials. I do give myself the honey facials too - well, because they are so effective. What else do I do? Meditate, skin brush, hike and continue to have a positive outlook on life (I am human and this is not always the case-but hey I get back on that bike and ride again!) I practice what I preach all of the time. Hope this helps!! |

History of Wholistic Beauty Boutique
First photo - yep, he was born at home too.
Wholistic Beauty Boutique is the creation of Colleen Fletcher (that's me.) Born from the desire to be a parent first, and a businesswoman second, I set out on a course of study that has led me to become an expert in the field of personal wholistic well-being.
I was fortunate that my childhood included an introduction to meditation at an early age. This concept was integral in the business I would eventually start. Having an open mind and heart made what most consider being an “alternative” method of self-care; simply a normal extension of day-to-day beliefs for me….I was ready to begin my journey into motherhood (well, honestly, is anyone really ready for this beautiful journey??) and into business.
The business began in 1994 shortly after my son, Isiah, was born. I often say that, “I always wanted to have a happy well adjusted human; not just a son.” My desire to make that want, a reality resulted in a pursuit of massage therapy. Feeling that an education in massage would be effective in both: deriving an income that was flexible and worked around my super spectacular baby’s needs, and supported my mothering in a wholistic way, I began my career as a massage therapist.
I obtained her massage license and practiced independently in the State of Oregon from 1995-2006. During this evolutionary process I became trained in Reiki and postural rebalancing. Incorporating these modalities into my practice I saw how integral the physical and the energetic aspects were to overall health in a person. These ideals are universal in my outlook for your health.
As my practice thrived I began to notice that the products I was using for massage where bothering her skin. I began to get rashes from the oils and lotions I had been using and discovered that the toxins in the products where severely affecting me. “If a product was causing me skin problems, I wasn’t about to use it on others.” And, with that in mind I began to seek out beauty and body products that were all natural and healthful for my self, my business and you.
As my massage and energy work experience grew I began to sense the deeper connection between the body and mind. With the desire to ensure my clients were cared for physically and mentally I began training as a hypnotist. “Hypnotherapy really opened the doors for me into the depths of the mind and the deeper benefits my work was providing. "
2006 Brought changes to me and my family. The family moved to Boise to secure a great job opportunity for my husband. After the move I sensed it was time to change gears for a bit. “We felt it was important to have one parent at home, so that was me.” I spent the next three years caring for my young, beautiful, talented, crazy son and adjusting to life in Boise. But it soon became clear to me that helping others wasn’t going to be put off for long. “I had clients from Oregon still wanting bodywork, and I still wanted to do it! So I decided to start my bodywork practice again here in Boise.”
Massage & Body Boutique opened in Boise in 2009 nestled within the Arcade building. During this time I felt the need to expand upon my knowledge base yet again. I undertook the journey of becoming a metaphysician and ordained minister, this expanded upon the hypnotherapy already firmly established in my practice.
As the business flourished I saw the need to incorporate wholeness more fully and renamed the business to Wholistic Beauty Boutique in 2012. Wholistic Beauty Boutique now offers a range of services and products covering nearly every aspect of self-care. I am passionate about addressing the “whole you”, not just parts and pieces.
In 2014 I obtained my esthetics license, thus allowing me even more positive ways to guide you to a glowing, happy life
The need to see my son become a “happy well adjusted human” blossomed into a desire to help others be happy, whole, and well adjusted too.
