What our clients have to say

I am a midwife and attended the express baby massage instructor course in February and thought it was really well run. The information was clearly delivered by Julie and the role playing was very beneficial. The pre-reading and case studies really helped to consolidate the learning. Thank you very much and I would thoroughly recommend.

My tutor was great. She was so approachable and helpful. And so responsive. I also liked how everything was in short concise chunks that I could pick up and leave as and when I had time around my own family life.
baby massage Online student, 2022
Everything! I have loved doing this course and jessica and Julie are so helpful and supportive! Before starting the course I was unsure of doing massage as the yoga classes were my favourite choice but now I love baby massage and teaching gives me great satisfaction and enjoyment! Jessica was amazing throughout, I was always getting my assignment feedback and marking very very quickly. She is so knowledgeable on baby massage and I aspire to be like her and Julie! Thank you
