Meet us! Meet Jackie and her tutors that make up our wonderful school
The School opened in January 2005 and has established a good and well-earned reputation in Norfolk and surrounding areas.
All the tutors (apart from Lorraine Kirk) have been through the school as students and taught by Jackie herself – so she knows them extremely well and this ensures a high level of competency and experience as well as dedication and enthusiasm.
Skills range from Sports Massage Therapy, Reflexology, Massage, Aromatherapy Massage and Anatomy and Physiology
They have a variety of other skills such as Indian Head Massage (IHM), Pregnancy Massage, Hot Stone Massage and Advanced Massage too as well as Ear Candling.
We frequently hold open days welcoming those interested in learning at our school and you may meet some of our tutors too. Read on for information on our lovely tutors, who they are and how they can help you become a practitioner in your chosen therapy.
They are all self-employed and run their own businesses – a wealth of experience to pass on!
