A few student comments from previous courses
I now feel I can say that I can give massages
I am convinced that I am 100 times more confident in my massage skills..
My confidence has gone from 0% to 90%
80% more confident ! I feel I can use my skills in an hour session now!
A lot more confident. I feel that I have been learning through having fun and in a very supportive envirnment where the emphasis is on highlighting the positive aspects
I am very confident and feeling quite eager to go and practice on more bodies. Bring on the Diploma I say (smiley face)
I feel far more confident. I have skills and feel that I have the tools to start to build a client base
Definately more confident, I could now give a massage quite happily
I’ve already got about 8 friends and family lining up for me practice on
The course would be even better if we had longer massages practice, because I was nearly asleep
The best experience I had on the course was being massaged by Jill
My best experience was the volume of hands on during the course
Excellent one-to-one opportunities with feedback from Jill and other participants
Excellent !
Intense teaching with almost one-on-one
Excellent hands on experience
Best bit was realising that I am now able to do massage, and practice that. Also meeting new grad Physios
Cant think of anything that would be an improvement, I really enjoyed the weekend, maybe you could become a lecturer at UEL ;-)
Lots of practice, nice atmosphere, very professional*
