I had the great pleasure of completing two massage courses with Amy Johnson: the Swedish Full Body Massage Level 3 course, which lasted almost four months, and the Deep Tissue Massage course. Looking back on this entire learning experience, I feel genuinely grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from such an exceptional teacher.
From the very beginning, Amy demonstrated an impressive level of professionalism, knowledge, patience, dedication, and passion for massage. Her teaching style made the learning process not only informative, but also enjoyable and motivating. She has a wonderful personality, always cheerful, approachable, encouraging, and willing to explain things clearly and patiently whenever necessary.
The Swedish Full Body Massage Level 3 course was a very important stage in my development. Over those several months, I was able to build a strong foundation in massage, learning not only techniques and practical skills, but also gaining a deeper understanding of the importance of professionalism, attention to detail, communication, and providing a positive experience for every client.
Amy's extensive knowledge of massage and her ability to explain both the theory and practical aspects of the profession made a real difference to my learning. She created an environment where I felt comfortable asking questions, practising techniques, making improvements, and developing greater confidence in my abilities. Her experience and enthusiasm were evident throughout the course, and I always felt that she genuinely wanted her students to succeed.
After completing the Swedish Full Body Massage Level 3 course, I was also fortunate enough to continue my training with Amy by taking the Deep Tissue Massage course. This additional course gave me another valuable opportunity to expand my knowledge and develop new techniques and skills. Once again, Amy demonstrated her excellent teaching abilities and her deep understanding of massage and the human body.
What I particularly appreciate about Amy is that she does not simply teach techniques; she shares knowledge and experience that can help students become better and more confident professionals. Her guidance has helped me understand that becoming a good massage therapist involves much more than learning how to perform different massage movements. It requires dedication, responsibility, continuous learning, good communication, respect for the client, attention to their individual needs, and a genuine passion for the profession.
I am truly thankful for all the time, effort, knowledge, encouragement, and support Amy has given me throughout these courses. The things I have learned from her will remain an important part of my professional development and will continue to help me as I build my future career as a massage therapist. I am confident that the knowledge and skills I gained through her teaching will help me provide better treatments and continue growing into the professional I aspire to become.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Amy Johnson to anyone who is looking for a highly knowledgeable, professional, supportive, and inspiring massage instructor. Whether someone is beginning their journey in massage or looking to expand their existing skills, I believe Amy has a great deal of knowledge and experience to share.
For me, completing these courses was not simply about obtaining qualifications. It was an experience that gave me valuable knowledge, practical skills, confidence, and a stronger appreciation for the profession. I am very grateful that Amy was part of that journey.
I also hope to continue my professional development with Amy in the future by joining more of her courses. I know that there is always more to learn, and I would be very happy to continue learning from someone whose knowledge, professionalism, enthusiasm, and teaching style I respect so much.
Thank you, Amy, for everything you have taught me, for your patience and encouragement, and for making the learning experience such a positive and memorable one. I truly appreciate your contribution to my journey, and I look forward to continuing to learn, improve, and grow as a massage professional.
The Thai Foot Massage course is an excellent experience. Our teacher Laura Little is highly professional, knowledgeable, and communicative. She explains each technique clearly and makes the practical sessions engaging and enjoyable. Her dedication, patience, and passion for teaching are truly inspiring. This is a well-structured and rewarding course led by an outstanding teacher. Highly recommended.
Loved the Thai massage level 1 with Laura! The content and training was thorough and with classes of maximum of 6 with Gateway workshops it means a high level of attention and care. I have done two other courses with Gateway and booked on one more currently. Thanks!!
