Amazinh course

What an amazing course! Kerry was a brilliant teacher. She was so knowledgeable and showed us step by step each part of the Indian head massage process which we then took turns carrying out with our partner. A very kinaesthetic atmosphere. The classroom atmosphere was friendly, chatty and very relaxed so we all felt comfortable to learn.

She also had lots of hints and tips which she shared with us about starting up a new business and wholesalers, insurance, furniture and lots of other useful information.

I have been on 8 other courses with the beauty academy (Swedish body massage, waxing, intimate waxing, manicure, pedicure, facials, day make up and evening make up). I will use them for any other courses I complete for my business. They are a brilliant company, and Chris and Kerry are fantastic tutors. Thank you!

Today I took a massage course

Today I took a massage course, what a wonderful surprise,
With Lorraine as our teacher — patient, helpful, and wise.
She watched us closely as we learned each move and touch,
Correcting every little mistake that mattered so much.
Her guidance was clear, she supported us all the way,
Making learning feel easy and enjoyable all day.
I left feeling confident, inspired, and of course —
I’d happily recommend this fantastic course.
