Words From Our Past Students:
“I am very pleased to have completed the course. I found it very informative and simple to work through so that everything stuck in my mind. I previously did a short cpt online course with a different provider. I found it really boring and could have just bought a book cheaper and read it all in there!
Your butterfly touch course was really engaging and enjoyable. It has given me the confidence to start practising on cancer patients. I am also grateful for enabling to learn online as I find it difficult to travel with family commitments and the location I live. Once again thank you for your training and your support.”
Kathryn Fife
‘I have found the course extremely useful, interesting and easy to understand.
I will definitely be adapting my everyday massage to incorporate some of your techniques especially the connecting at the heels.’
Natalie Devlin Massage, UK
‘I am really enjoying the course and it certainly has opened my eyes to thinking I would like to seek some hospice/hospital experience. The course has great depth and the content is clear and easy to navigate. I have also completed other courses but found yours more informative and patient led, which was what I wanted to have a better understanding of.’
Morwenna Walker
‘ I have just completed the Complementary therapies in Cancer Care for Reflexology which will be a huge asset to my work at the Couch Wellness Centre for patients & carers affected by cancer. The course was easy to understand, easy to complete in separate modules and contained clear videos, audios and multiple choice learning quizzes. I can thoroughly recommend this course to any practitioners who are working in cancer care, or indeed with any clients who are elderly, frail, highly fatigued or at the end of life. Well done Marie, great course! Thank you!

Caroline Sharp Reflexology, Australia
‘I have just completed the online course and I have to tell you how much I have enjoyed it, thank you! Although my background is in nursing, I am no longer in this role, but I have experience of working with patients receiving their diagnosis and going through treatment. I have wanted to do a course like this for as long as I can remember so thank you again for making it possible. I found the course to be detailed and well presented and I look forward to adapting my reflexology treatments in the future.’
Claire Duckworth Reflexology Scotland
‘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.”
