Health and wellness entrepreneur launches new clinic in Ilkley

Occupying a prime location on The Grove, the venture is the first standalone, CQC registered medical aesthetics, health and wellness clinic in Ilkley.

The 700 sq ft premises has been extensively refurbished, incorporating medical grade equipment and dedicated treatment suites to provide state-of-the-art health, wellness and aesthetics treatments including LED light therapy, Platelet Rich Plasma therapy, skin treatments, weight loss, laser treatment and injectables.

Incorporating an electronic entry system, three treatment rooms, a stylish, discreet waiting room at the rear and a second waiting area overlooking The Grove, the new, appointment-only clinic will be personally managed by local business owner Jackie McGarry, who opened her first clinic in Silsden in 2018.

Drawing on two decades of experience as a registered nurse and 15 years’ experience in the health and wellbeing sector, Jackie’s latest venture will welcome new clients, as well as serving an established client base across the Aire and Wharfe Valleys.

Jackie, who grew up in Ilkley and is a well-known and respected practitioner, was recently hailed ‘Best Boss’ at this year’s Ilkley Business Awards.

Joining her at the new clinic will be registered nurses Holly Nicholson and Melissa Robinson, Skin Therapist Ellie Mathieson, Business Development Manager Giuliano Nocera and Personal Assistant Victoria Lupton.

We’re a trusted name in the local health and wellness sector and are proud to be partnering The Principle Trust, who do amazing work supporting some of Yorkshire’s most disadvantaged families."
