Student Feedback
“Thank you Julie for the wonderful Indian Head Massage Diploma Course. I feel that we covered everything thoroughly and it great to know that you continue to support us after the course has finished. Having small numbers on the course makes it more personal and allows for everyone to give their opinions and feedback. I feel that the timescale was just right, with enough time in between sessions to practice, enabling me to feel confident by the time I carried out my assessment . Thank you” LF Berkshire
