What our clients say…
My name is Francesca Biviano and up until my recent move to Queensland I owned a Beauty and Relaxation Massage business in Sydney for many years.
I attended Sarah’s Hot Stone Massage course to learn a new treatment for my clients and to update my skills. It was a great course with great content. I knew after completing the course this would benefit my clients. I particularly enjoyed the large hands-on component of the course.
Imemdiately after doing the course the feedback from my clients was amazing they absolutely loved their hot stone massage. Not only did they feel totally relaxed, they actually felt so much better mentally and physically.
I have certainly have been blessed to have found Sarah. My new techniques have certainly paid off not only within my business, but it also has improved my passion for massage and made me a better therapist.
Sarah’s years of experience and knowledge was really apparent. Sarah’s dedication, love of teaching and wanting her students to succeed was evident throughout the course.
Thank you Sarah for a great course. I am forever grateful.
