Thanks Julie for making the course really enjoyable and easy to understand. With the help of breaking down the exam and course work over our day courses, re-practice sessions and bite size videos I found the daunting movements so much easier to learn. I never thought I would be able to pass all 3 massage courses so easily and quickly within 6 months! I now feel confident to start on my own and go into practice - awesome! Thank you Julie Streeter for everything, its truly been a life changing experience.

Excellent training in a beautiful setting but it was all the free of charge support and kindness that made training with Julie even better than I could have hoped for. Thank you

Fabulous. Could not fault the training, nor the setting. I have now undertaken two different courses with Julie. (massage and facials) . She has been unbelievably helpful - and very good natured. Her instructions were clear, and I always felt as though I could ask any questions. I also really appreciated the range of clients she brought in to model for us. I have now had both one to one and group training with Julie - and can unreservedly recommend both. Her support has given me confidence in my ability - and I actually found the training sessions to be a very enjoyable day out of my real world. I am so pleased I found her! I will definitely be back

Just finished a brilliant VTCT Indian Head Massage course with Julie. Cannot recommend her enough, the setting was lovely and her support and teaching throughout was second to none. I am now confident and competent and looking forward to using it. I will definitely be back to top up my skills. Thanks Julie.

Look No Further. I've just finished a Swedish massage course with Julie and could not recommend her highly enough. She is a talented and natural teacher and I have come away feeling confident and positive. The setting is just idyllic as well. I travelled from Ireland for the course and Julie organised superb accommodation only a stones throw from her business. She made the whole experience easy and fun. It was hard work but so rewarding. If you are considering taking a course in massage or beauty, look no further, Julie is fantastic!

When searching for a training establishment, I came across Julie and she was able to offer me one to one/ hours of training that were suitable around childcare. This was so important to me. The training I received was fantastic. Julie Streeter has a wealth of knowledge and first hand experiences to provide you with all the confidence to exceed. Julie always put herself out of her way to make it possible for me to complete the large number of exams etc so I was able to gain the qualifications to now set up my own business. The training environment is lovely and her relaxed approach makes for an A1 training establishment. Many thanks Julie for supporting me through my new career!

I have recently taken reflexology training with 'Therapy Courses'. The supporting documentation was clearly set out in a folder and made easy to reference, the training room was wonderful and Julie was always so structured and clear. The whole experience has been enjoyable and I look forward to taking another course with you in the future. Many thanks

At the age of 28 I had had a varied and enjoyable career but wanted to specialise in something and get some qualifications under my belt. I guess I wanted a trade of some description so I could have the option of having a side-line career or even making a complete career change at a later date. Future planning is what stemmed this journey so that I could have flexibility around the family I was at the time planning to have but have since started. After much researching into Holistic training courses and being alarmed at the duration, the cost and the location of these courses whilst wondering how I was going to make this work around a full time job I stumbled upon Julies website. I couldn’t have been more elated that not only was Julie local, she lived up the road from my Mother in Law. Over a duration of approximately 2 years I have studied Swedish Massage, Reflexology, Hot stone massage, Warm Bamboo massage, Indian Head Massage, Hopi Ear Candling and Reiki. I will also be undertaking a minimum of two more courses with Julie in the coming months. Julie has a wealth of experience and knowledge and what she doesn’t know isn’t worth knowing. Julies courses are competitively priced but the selling point for me on top of the location, cost and free parking was the fact that Julie tailored each course for me and around me to ensure I could fit it in around a full time job (this included evenings and weekends) but gaining all the knowledge, experience and qualifications I needed. Julie works from home in a beautiful log cabin in an immaculate garden that isn’t only stunning its tranquil. What more could you ask for, it’s certainly beats the bog standard classroom environment and you leave feeling relaxed, rejuvenated and excited about the classes you have just undertaken. Julie has been very supportive to me and is always at the end of the phone or email to answer any questions you might have. I even managed to fit in a baby in between my courses and Julie has provided much need supported in refreshing my skills and knowledge that I lost to “baby brain”. I cannot recommend Julie enough and I will continue to use Therapy Courses to gain my qualifications and embark on the next chapter of my working life.

I decided to embark on a new career as a holistic therapist a year ago.. I was searching online and came across Julie Streeter 'Therapy courses'. What impressed me was the experience and knowledge under her belt ..working all those years in the local college .. as I looked further into it the cost for courses I found were affordable and accredited & Centre approved for VTCT. For the last year I have studied a number of courses with Julie Reflexology, Swedish massage, Hot stone massage, Bamboo massage, and Indian head massage and not forgetting Anatomy and Physiology...she is a supportive and great mentor .. always there for guidance ...brilliant teaching ..and now I have a post working as a massage therapist in a Chiropractic clinic...I would highly recommend...Therapy Courses - Julie Streeter - Thank you so much Julie!

In 201 I decided to change my career. I decided that I would like to become a therapist. I enrolled on the Reflexology course at Salisbury College. There I had the good fortune to have Julie Streeter as my tutor. Inspired by this I enrolled on courses with Julie in Touch for Health, Swedish body massage, Indian head massage and also became a Reiki Master with Julie, which is now a way of life for me. I have since gone on to train in NLP and Hypnotherapy. I now have a unique and very successful practice in which I use all of my skills. Julie is always there if needed and I have worked alongside her form time to time. To me she is the ultimate professional, very skilled and very caring.

I'm very pleased I decided to study Swedish body massage with Julie, The course was extremely insightful and enjoyable. My new qualification led me to a career as a assistant physiotherapist. I could not recommend Julie more as a tutor she provided a great deal of knowledge, support and guidance. I will definitely look to enrolling on another course in the future.

Thank you to Julie for her dedication, patience, approachable manner and professionalism. I am now qualified in Reflexology, Swedish body massage and hot stones. Throughout the courses Julie gave us lots of praise and positive feedback, which helped with confidence, progression, final assessments and ultimately gaining of a qualification. The classes were delivered at a good steady pace, with a perfect balance between theory and practise and they were always made good fun and enjoyable. Julie is a fantastic teacher, and I thoroughly recommend her courses to anyone who wants to learn in a warm, friendly and safe environment.

Julie Streeter was my tutor for a number of therapy courses including Indian head massage, Aromatherapy and Reflexology. She brought her knowldege and enthusiasm to these friendly classes, in particular giving instructive hands-on demonstrations. My clients now benefit from these new therapies that I am able to offer. I enjoy giving the treatments as much as I enjoyed learning about them.
