Piper De Breche: From Elite Student to International Spa Therapist
For Piper De Breche, studying at Elite wasn’t just about earning a qualification — it was the beginning of a life-changing journey.
“Being at Elite was probably one of the most memorable experiences I’ve ever had. I made so many amazing memories and friends while I was studying. Of course, it was a lot of hard work, but it was definitely worth it.”
Learning in a Supportive Environment
One of the standout parts of Piper’s experience was learning under the guidance of Radz, one of Elite’s respected tutors.
“She has so much knowledge, and I feel very lucky to have learned from her and grown into a better therapist,” Piper shared.
With encouragement from her tutors and classmates, Piper developed the confidence and skills that prepared her for her next big step — one that would take her overseas.
Taking Her Passion Overseas
For her internship, Piper chose to challenge herself and explore new opportunities. Alongside her best friend and classmate, Tatyana, she travelled to the Gold Coast for a four-month placement at Summer Elizabeth Day Spa.
The pair quickly impressed the team, working as Beauty Therapists, being recognized as the spa’s top beauty therapists, and even receiving full-time job offers at the end of their internships.
Piper says the experience helped them grow “not just as therapists, but as individuals.”
Growth Through Experience
Although the journey had its tough moments, Piper sees every challenge as a valuable part of her personal and professional development.
“Although we had a few tough times, it definitely helped shape me into the person I am today.”
Reflecting on her time at Elite, Piper feels grateful for the support, the learning environment, and the life-changing opportunity to expand her horizons overseas.
