Laura Little

So far, I’ve completed 2 courses with Laura Little (Gateway), this was the first. She is an excellent tutor who combines perfectly a balance of knowledge and expertise as an instructor with a friendly, caring and pleasant personality which is the perfect combination of qualities to guide and deliver a course of this kind. I would definitely recommend her and both of the massage courses I completed with her.

Chair Massage | Seated Acupressure On Site Massage - Practitioner Accredited Diploma Course

Diane was a fantastic tutor. She was friendly and welcoming from the very start.
She was very professional, acknowledged everyones varying levels of experience and understanding of the subject, and adjusted the training accordingly.
I would have no hesitation in taking another course run by Diane, or recommending the gateway workshops to others. The courses offered suited our requirements

Karen Hastings is a lovely, caring person and very welcoming on the day. She guided the theory and practical course with skill and clear attention to detail. Karen is an absolute pleasure to have as a tutor and I would recommend her to anyone wanting to learn more in chair massage and her vast knowledge of therapies.

Chair Massage | Seated Acupressure On Site Massage - Practitioner Accredited Diploma Course

I had a complete and very detailed training. Alison was very patient and answered all of our questions. She was very professional and personable at the same time. She knows her job very well and I am very happy that she is sharing her knowledge as a Massage Therapist and I will not hesitate to come back for other trainings if necessary the courses were very well detailed and we also had tutorial support to better understand the different acupressure techniques. She spoke very softly so we could understand and we had plenty of time to practice on the other students. there was plenty of choice and all the courses were appealing and varied. But I took the course on a massage chair because it supplemented my knowledge
