Thank you for sending my certificate.
I just wanted to say how glad I am to have come across Holistic Therapies Training, its great to know you are always contactable if needs be and Nikki Anderson is a god send. I have found Nikki to be very approachable right from our first meeting and know if anything should crop up at any time I can ask her about it. I’m looking forward to doing more courses with her in the near future.

Thanks once again.

(Threading, Barnstaple, Devon)

Completed the brow threading course with Charley. Really good day! Charley is very patient, explains things really well and really gave me a good idea of what it was I was trying to achieve. Lots of practical hands-on training coupled with great visualisation techniques made it a really worthwhile course. Definitely recommend her for training! Xx

(Oriental Face Massage, Poole)

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for the Oriental face massage training yesterday.
Being an older student and not having done any massage before I was very nervous.
But thanks to your easy manner and the lovely relaxing training room by the end of the day I felt positive and uplifted and had a greater understanding of the process and the way holistic therapies should be given.
I’m looking forward to coming back and doing more courses with you as my business progresses and would whole heartedly recommend you to anyone
interested in doing one of your training courses.

I would like to say a big thank you to Julie, today’s course was relaxing and informative and I came away with a confident understanding of Indian Head Massage and the routine.
Julie was very open to questions and we were able to go through the routine until we applied the correct techniques.
The group was kept small so ample hands on training was given.
Lovely training room on a very hot day.

Thank you again Julie hope to see you again soon

(Crystal Therapy online course)

Thank you so so much! I have just bought the course. I am very grateful as this means I have more to put towards crystals and towards a second course with yourselves. I am very excited!!! You’ve been incredibly helpful.

(S.P. 11/10/17)

(Baby Reflexology online course)

This course has been so much better than one day training. Having to produce all your own literature, posters etc. You make it your own and learn so much more this way – and then you actually have to go out and do it! I would thoroughly recommend it.

(J.N. 14/09/17)

(Maternity & Fertility Reflexology, South Molton)

“It was lovely meeting you and putting a face to a name. It is a lovely outfit that you have there. I also really enjoyed our session yesterday and lost myself a couple of times during the reflexology!”

(VTCT Level 3 Massage, South Molton)

“I discovered Holistic Therapies Training in early 2016 when I left my job, and wanted to re-focus on complementary therapy training, an interest of mine for over two decades. Karen – the owner – and her colleagues, were and are extremely professional, knowledgeable and friendly and immediately put me at ease (this was a totally new area of study for me so naturally, a little nerve-wracking). A year on, when I decided I wanted to undertake the level three Diploma in Body Massage, I had no hesitation in returning to Holistic Therapies.

The course is delivered in a thorough and thoughtful way, giving as much help as each client needs. I always felt that support was just an email or a ‘phone call away, and that no question was too small or too daft. I always looked forward to the contact days at the South Molton centre. Karen went above-and-beyond to make sure I was able to meet the requirements of the course (such as the number of case studies) and linked me up with other students, and one of her colleagues to help with this. The contact days were also a lot of fun and very motivating. Because of this support, I found I was able to be fairly self-sufficient in my learning process, which is empowering and fits the nature of a vocational course such as this. I want to say a massive and heartfelt ‘thank you’ to Karen and Jason. This has been the best experience and I’m proud to have achieved the course, but a little sorry it has ended!

(E.H. 20.04.17)

(Indian Head Massage, Poole)

I decided to go book on a course with Julie at Holistic Zone to learn Indian Head massage. I have already worked with a number of companies to learn holistic therapies. I have to say that I really enjoyed working alongside Julie, not only did she make you feel relaxed and comfortable learning but she has also offered me great business advice which has been really helpful for me setting me up my new business. She has been a blessing to meet and would highly recommend her to therapists looking to gain new treatments and knowledge. Thank you Julie!

Good Afternoon Karen, It was lovely to meet yourself and Jason in the week and thank you for making us feel welcome and at ease.

(Crystal Therapy, Colour Therapy & Aromatherapy blending, online distant learning course)

The first course that I took with Holistic Therapies Training was Crystal Therapy. I wanted to do this course due to my love of crystals, and after doing some research felt that this was the course for me. I absolutely loved it, very informative and very interesting. Although comprehensive in itself, the recommended reading was brilliant, and also widened my horizons to other holistic therapies. I quickly became hooked and have since done a Colour Therapy course with Holistic Therapies Training, which was equally as good. Since starting my training I have also become a Reiki Master and and qualified in Indian Head Massage. My latest course with Holistic Therapies Training was Aromatherapy Blending, I was surprised at just how indepth this subject is, and the course material covered a lot of detail but in a very easy to absorb manner. The recommended reading again was second to none, and supported the course perfectly. As a mum to 5 young children, Holistic Therapies Training has given me the opportunity to embark on a whole new career that I can fit around my children. If it wasn’t for my first course with them, I wouldn’t be where I am now. Home Study was the perfect option for me, and I wanted a flexible course that was comprehensive whilst enjoyable, and Holistic Therapies Training delivered just that with all of their courses, with help just an email away. I cannot recommend them enough to anyone, whether out of self interest to embark on a new career, or advance an existing one. I will definitely do more courses with them in the future. Thank you Holistic Therapies Training for engaging me on a journey that has got me where I am now, and will no doubt open up further paths to me in the future.

“I would recommend contacting Holistic Therapy Training, the support was fantastic right from my initial email with Jason, to the training day with Karen. Natalie, another trainer was also there to greet me on the day and she was warm, friendly and very welcoming. The training with Karen was thorough, professional and informative, whilst also being fun and supportive. I have studied pregnancy massage and accredited beauty facials with Holistic Therapy Training and they have both been great courses – Thank you.”

(Indian Head Massage, Poole)

All staff at the Holistic therapies training were really friendly and easy to talk to. They were quick to respond to any emails and questions I had about the course .When I went to Holistic Zone in Poole and met Julie my teacher for the day ,all nerves soon went. Julie was friendly and easy to talk to and made the learning fun and enjoyable. Julie has also been happy to answer any questions after the day which has made me feel not so on my own doing the course. I am very pleased with the training and will be doing more training in the future. Most of all I am pleased to say I passed.

(Aromatherapy blending distant learning course)

I recently completed the Aromatherapy Blending Home Study Course and just wanted to say how much I enjoyed it. Each module was full of valuable information and the assignments gave you the chance to create leaflets and forms that can be used in your own practice. Your feedback was always appreciated and I look forward to studying with Holistic Therapies Training again in the future.

Can I just say how much I’m enjoying doing your courses! Would highly recommend!

(Deep Tissue Massage, Torquay)
Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Helen Lisa Hoyte for a completely brilliant 2nd day of the Deep Tissue course! I learned so much today and feel ready now to start doing my case studies.
Not only does Helen go all out to put as much as she can into all her courses, but encourages you to contact her if you need any help or guidance, after the event and will set aside quality time, to go over what ever you need to. Would recommend taking one (or more) of Helen’s courses to anyone!! What’s more, they’re such fun and I’ve met many new friends, as a result. ?xxx

(Body massage, Braunton)
I felt Sam was the right person to teach me massage, as she is has a relaxed approach which is professional. When I had questions or didn’t understand an area within the course or the demonstrations Sam has the ability and a deep knowledge to be able to reword and show in another way which I could understand and take in. Sams approach feels as if she is listening to you and able to instill a confidence. I would highly recommend Sam and the courses that she offers.
L.C. 20.05.16
(Reflexology, Calne)
My certificate for Reflexology Accredited diploma arrived today and I wanted to express my gratitude to the Holistic Therapies Team.
Karen has been absolutely fantastic at communications, marking coursework, organising dates and always happy to answer any questions. I highly recommend attending a practical day or a distant online course. The support and knowledge of the tutors is outstanding, compared to many shorter courses with other training schools I have attended in the past. Unfortunately during my course I suffered a minor injury and Karen went above and beyond to make sure I could still complete the course at a suitable pace. The course manuals are very well written, easy to understand and the best bit , is that I could view it on my computer or iPad and print the parts I needed.
I attended practical training with Nikki in Calne and absolutely loved my training. Nikki is a lovely welcoming teacher who is very knowledgeable . I couldn’t believe how much we achieved in two days and by the end of the training I surprised myself with how confident I felt due to Nikki’s thorough teaching and guidance. Her cabin is beautiful and a truly lovely place to study and Nikki kindly provided a model as I had to travel.
I wish you both success and happiness in the future and looking forward to attending more courses in the future.

I enjoyed my enriching learning experience immensely with Nikki! Nikki has such a remarkable blend of subject matter expertise, personal warmth, sincerity, professionalism, and kindness. I would recommend her to my colleagues and clients without hesitation! It is difficult to say which aspect of the course I liked the most…as it was all impressive…Sure she exceeded my expectations on the techniques of delivering IHM, of which, My clients will be most pleased to receive…however, coupled with that,Nikki’s teaching methodology is so sincere that it emanates in the flow of her touch and instructions…this is priceless to me! There are no improvements that I would suggest for the course. Thanks for having me on such short notice! Marie R

Hello Karen, How lovely it was to meet with you on Thursday! what a lovely person you are. Jean S

Just thought I would drop you a quick line to say how much I enjoyed both the Swedish Massage course and the Thai Foot Massage course. Both courses were run by Karen Kilminster over in Swindon. Karen is a great teacher, full of enthusiasm and her style of teaching is both clear and thorough. I came away feeling confident and capable of applying both forms of massage in to the daily routine of my own clinic. I had two great days! Really enjoyable..I will be in touch a bit later on since I am interested in doing the Hot Stone Massage Course. Of course with the same teacher … many many thanks to Karen. Kind Regards to you,
T Ashcroft

I am really doing well practising my Swedish Massage and having great fun with it …my clients are loving it too. Such a great day and am looking forward to the Thai Foot Course. Tamara A

Just a quick email to say thanks for the excellent course, it was well run and both myself and Deb really enjoyed it.
Deb especially would like to thank you for putting her at total ease as she was quite nervous beforehand.
As I felt you presented the course in a easy to learn and understanding fashion I would very much like to book another course with you very soon..even if I do have to travel to the other side of the country.

Many thanks for the Study Guides which were safely received. Have saved them and browsed through some of them. They appear very informative and should prove very useful in my studies which I plan to commence next month.

Thanks Karen,

I really enjoyed the course. Karen was the ideal tutor. She had a very calming and soothing nature. The way she taught was easy to understand and to follow. Nothing was too much trouble and I never felt embarassed by asking what came next on the routine. She was very patient.

I would like to say the course with Karen was very enjoyable,I have never had a one to one lesson before and was pleased with the content and professional approach.It was also helpful to have the DVD playing alongside the lesson,I would certainly choose this method again

Re: Hopi Ear training with Karen.
Karen made me feel welcomed and at ease. She was able to answer any questions I had at the time and thereafter.
She was thorough in the information she was telling me and in the written work. I also found that she explained the information practical and written in different ways, IE: written and picture format which would meet individuals learning styles. Karen was also patient and would go over anything you felt you didn’t grasp initially.
Michelle L

It was great to have one on one education today which was to my advantage. I thought the dvd was a great help to watch the moves whilst doing them personally.

Narelle M

I thoroughly enjoyed the Indian Head Massage course with Karen. Have done other courses with other trainers and Karen gave an excellent lesson, practical and theory and her surroundings were lovely and welcoming. A great day of learning..!

Nikki A

I undertook Manicure training with Karen, who is a very kind and helpful tutor. The training schedule was arranged to suit me and took place in the evenings as I work full time. Karen immediately put me at ease and the tutorials took place in a very relaxed atmosphere, but with care and attention to detail. There were lots of handy tips and techniques offered up that were not in the manual and Karen has stayed in touch offering up help and advice since I completed by course.

Sue K

I have completed several Holistic Massage courses with Karen and have found them all to be very informative and exactly what i need to take my business forward. All have been broken down into several sessions to allow me to go away and practice the skills i was taught. Much better than doing a one day course. Karen has a professional but friendly and relaxed approach to the training, which made the course very enjoyable. Thanks and looking forward to my next ones”
