A Newry-based entrepreneur has realised her dream of returning from North America to set up her own physiotherapy and pilates practice, after receiving help through the government backed Go Succeed service.

Catherine Elliott, originally from the United States, moved with her family to the Newry area at the age of 10 but left to pursue her career after university.

Catherine began her career in the NHS, completing her rotations before earning a master's degree in Advanced Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation, which led her to New York City.

00:00Hi, my name is Catherine Elliott and I'm the owner of BT35 Physiotherapy and Pilates. I
00:09graduated with a bachelor's in physiotherapy and I decided that my passion was in sports
00:14rehabilitation. So I went to do a master's in sports rehab and then from there I actually
00:22traveled to the U.S. working with world-renowned surgeons and recently just returned back to
00:27Kanyuri. So I decided to open my own practice as I've seen a gap in the market for one-on-one
00:33personalized care for the local community. So Go Succeed helped me firstly with my business
00:39plan. I went on to the Engage stage where I worked with Go Succeed with my website template
00:47and publishing my website and then from there I'm hoping maybe in the future I can refer
00:53back to them for growth of the company. I attended a few of the Go Succeed masterclasses
00:58mainly focusing on social media to assist with my business account. I went to a few
01:03of the social media seminars because I understand the importance of social media, starting out
01:07a new business and I got a great insight into how to you know do reels and certain things
01:14that I had never done before. So my plans for the future is to build a vibrant community
01:19here at Thomas Davis Centre providing classes and services from pediatrics through to the
01:25elderly population focusing on prenatal and mental health, women's health. I also was
01:31able to publish a website so it makes it easy and convenient for patients to book and then
01:36help me with my business plan so I have a vision of the future. I would highly recommend
01:40the Go Succeed service to anyone that's opening their own business. It's been a valuable input
01:45into starting my business.
01:49Go Succeed.
