This is an incredible course for anybody passionate or interested in holistic health and well-being. It is, at times, hard work but always enjoyable and rewarding. Teachers were knowledgeable, supportive, personable and caring. I had so much fun learning under their guidance and I would recommend this programme to anyone interested in holistic health and well-being.
