Student review spotlight 🌿

Each student’s journey is unique, and we’re proud to support them every step of the way. Here's what one of our recent graduates had to say:

“I recently attended the Chair Massage CPD course with Suzannah Agrippa and absolutely loved it. The day was really well structured — a perfect balance of demonstration, hands-on practice, and useful discussion. Suzannah created a supportive and relaxed atmosphere while ensuring we developed solid, professional techniques we can confidently use in real settings.

The course was both practical and enjoyable, and I came away feeling refreshed, confident, and ready to start offering chair massage as part of my mobile work. The handouts were clear, the pace was just right, and the teaching felt genuinely caring and encouraging.

I’d definitely recommend this course (and the School of Natural Therapies) to any therapist wanting to expand their skill set and add a versatile, accessible treatment to their portfolio.”

Each student’s journey is unique, and we’re proud to support them every step of the way. Here's what one of our recent graduates had to say:

“I attended the one-day Fire Cupping course at The School of Natural Therapy with Joseph, and it was an outstanding experience. Joseph was professional, knowledgeable, and made the training both engaging and practical. The course was well-balanced between theory and hands-on learning, and I left feeling confident to apply my new skills safely. Highly recommended for anyone looking to expand their holistic therapy practice!”

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the Professional Beauty Autumn event at the Health Wellbeing Stage at the ExCeL. We’ve been genuinely inspired by the conversations since - so many massage and spa therapists have told us they’re ready to make their services more inclusive and clinically confident. We’ve also seen a real surge in engagement and follow-ups since the event … brilliant to see the momentum building!

From our speakers:

Marc Innes, School Principal:
“Oncology massage isn’t about doing more - it’s about doing what’s appropriate, with empathy and clarity. When therapists feel confident, clients feel welcome. That’s how we widen access to safe, supportive touch.”

Joseph O’Dwyer, Director of Sport & Remedial Studies:
“The psoas can be approached with precision and patience. Small, well-timed interventions - positioning, gentle palpation, clear communication - often create the biggest changes.”

If you met us at ExCeL, or couldn’t make it, drop us a message. Let’s keep this energy going and make safe, inclusive massage the norm!
