Testimonials
"My experience on the BCMB holistic massage therapy course far surpassed any I have had at college and university level. This course is unique in that it combines high quality technical training with an emphasis on personal development. There is also a special focus on the concepts of presence, quality of touch, awareness and intention, as well as practitioner self care and injury prevention. I graduated 5 years ago and enjoy a successful practice at the Relaxation Centre in Clifton as part of the services I offer as a Naturopath - many thanks to Andy and his fantastic teaching team!"
Fiona Campbell, Naturopath
"In my mind this is the ONLY course to be on! If you're looking for creativity, sensitivity and self-awareness in your work then Andy, Char, Tim, Jacquie and all the fantastic instructors at BCMB can set you on the right path. Since qualifying in December 2006 I've got a full time job working in a hotel spa which certainly has its downsides (ie relatively poor pay, long hours and very hard work) but, on the upside, I've fulfilled a long-held ambition to earn my living doing what I love. I'm gaining invaluable experience and incredible satisfaction from my work and, very importantly, have the appetite to keep learning and growing as a practitioner (something I've observed isn't always the case if you've qualified elsewhere). The result of a good training and 'presence' in your work will make you stand out from the herd and the proof of that is when somebody says "That was magical.....the best massage I've ever had" It's a priceless feeling. Thanks to all the tutors - I always feel you standing over my shoulder when I give a massage and have great confidence in my lineage as a massage therapist."
"I'd like to say that I found the course a personally enriching experience . Learning how to connect and bring relief and relaxation to clients was a real WOW for me as well as gaining an understanding of the wonders of how the human body works. I gained a lot of confidence but not over confidence from the course. The committment of the tutors was unbelieavable and they were so encouraging and helpful. They were always prepared to spend time explaining and demonstrating massage strokes and techniques and obviously believe strongly in the benefits of massage as I do now.Meeting new people on the course was a brilliant experience and I will always feel a closeness to them because of the experiences we shared."

Sally Cantwell E.D.H., M.T.I. (Dental Hygienist and Holistic Massage Therapist).
"Training with Andy, Char, Tim and Helen was not only amazingly, wonderfully life changing – even found I had a fab body! – thank you all lots! - but I set up my massage practice as soon as I qualified and had recovered the cost of the course in less than 2 months. So bargain! Free life change and a lot of fun! And now its my life and living!!"

"The best massage course ever! Comfortable friendly group with a very high standard of tuition from lovely, approachable and supportive tutors. Amazing range of techniques taught with sound quality of touch. Very enjoyable and excellent value for money."
Lesley Dean, Part-time Nurse and Holistic Massage Therapist
"I had high expectations of this course and they were all exceeded. The discovery of massage turned out to be more interesting, surprising and worthwhile than I could have imagined. And it was made all the more enjoyable for being in the company of experienced, genuinely supportive teachers and enthusiastic fellow students."
Michele Leia Evenstar, IT Systems Developer
"I trained with BCMB in 2002 and have run a very busy 2-day practice ever since. I think the training provided by Andy and the team is amongst the best I've ever received and the ongoing supervision not only invaluably supports my practice, it also gives me a USP (Unique Selling Point)."
Jane Cox, Holistic Massage Therapist, Ex-nurse
"For me the course was just amazing. I can remember the very first Saturday morning in the beautiful room at Penny Brohn and Char talking to us I knew then it was a really special place to be. I feel so lucky that I chose this particular course, because I can't imagine there are any others which have the same magical combination. It really was a great 10 months of my life."
Judi Jackson
"The graduate training programme brought me a lot more than the practicalities of how to massage. It offered me the opportunity to master new skills; to realise my own potential; the wonderful pleasure of helping others, of opening them up to themselves through my touch and presence; the chance to grow as a person, in a unique environment of support and friendship."
Alex Alderton - Actor, Holistic Massage Practitioner
