Some Words From Past Students:
‘I have found the course extremely useful, interesting and easy to understand.

Natalie Devlin Massage, UK
‘I have completed the Complementary Therapies in Cancer Care course for massage. I have really enjoyed studying & found the course to be well designed, easy & clear to follow, helped along by your friendly presentation. Thank you for making a daunting subject a little less daunting. I’d highly recommend your course to everyone who does a form of therapy. Thank you once again for providing such an educational course.’
Rebecca Ryan Massage, UK
‘I really enjoyed this e-learning course. Being able to study at my own pace and from home really suited me. I found the course comprehensive and at an easy to take in level. Marie is compassionate and as a fellow therapist shows an understanding of the clients and situations that we may come across. Having the nature of cancer, its treatments and information on contra indication specific to cancer patients explained, was really useful. I already offer treatments in this field, I now feel my work will be very much improved and my knowledge much more expansive as a result of taking these e-learning courses.’
Sian James
“Absolutely thrilled to have taken on this Cancer Care course. I hope it will enhance my practice and provide extra understanding for when I treat clients and their loved ones who have been affected by cancer ? Thank you so much for the excellent communication, support and course content. I’d highly recommend it to other therapies too xx”
Hayley Butt
“I really enjoyed your course, it has given me more confidence in approaching cancer patients / palliative care patients. It is the second course I have taken in this modality. Both courses had slightly different approaches which has been very helpful to me. I currently work a couple of hours a week at present in the local NHS hospice giving foot and hand massages to the day care patients. I am looking to do my own private work doing home visits but this will be new to me so I feel the courses have been very beneficial. Again thank you for running this course Marie”
Susan Laurenson
‘I’ve spent the morning completing your wonderful CPD course in Reiki, Massage and Reflexology. Oh how I’ve enjoyed it, you’ve created an interactive, interesting, easy to follow course packed with knowledge and your lovely soothing voice was a pleasure to listen to and watch. I will certainly be recommending this to my fellow comp therapy colleagues and therapy leads. Marie, thank you for delivering this course with so much knowledge and love.’
Hannah Alvis of Lee
“Thank you again, Marie – a truly informative and insightful course that will allow me to confidently treat patients living with cancer.
Thanks again for your huge support, I know your online course is relatively new and you welcome feedback, personally I thought it worked so well, I was able to complete it over 3 evenings and would recommend to all reflexology/reiki/massage therapists.”
