Testimonials:
'Steph is a wonderful teacher of massage.
She treats the subject with a brilliant balance of sensitivity and can do attitude.
I've been trained by Steph twice this year and it has been the best investment of my time and money.
The deep tissue massage diploma was taught with the same relaxed yet efficient manner as the previous training. Helpful tips on how to protect the joints when massaging were paramount throughout this high quality training.
As well as having 20 years of massage behind her, Steph has a very natural way regarding teaching and massaging and it's very inspiring! And she makes the study of massage therapy more accessible to students.'

Doing the deep tissue training with steph has transformed my massage offer. I now have a set of new techniques that are easier on my body and go deeper for the client. My understanding skeletal and muscular systems has increased and so too has my confidence in massaging in a stronger, more therapeutic way

Steph’s courses aren’t just packed with wisdom and technique but also humility and kindness. I’m leaving my deep tissue course feeling prepared and confident to set off into the world of massage! Steph’s thorough approach means that the hours you’re there you absorb a hell of a lot and her sense of humour means it all stays locked in your head. I cannot wait to learn more from her in the future!

I have just completed a Deep Tissue Massage course with Steph, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I originally began my massage training at college a few years ago, but I left feeling like there was still so much more to learn and with very little confidence in my abilities. Finding Shanti Training School has been a complete turning point. It has been a true wealth of knowledge. Steph is an incredible teacher—she explains anatomy and physiology in such a clear, accessible way that it never feels overwhelming, even if you’re new to massage.She has a real gift for building confidence, and I leave every one of her courses feeling assured, capable, and with a solid understanding of everything we’ve covered. I’m now on my fourth training course with Steph, and I’m already looking forward to adding another soon as I continue to grow my business.I genuinely can’t recommend her training enough
