Indian Head Massage Course Feedback
Thank you so much for your very welcome email giving the result of my Indian Head Massage final exam! Have been on tenterhooks for the last few days but this news is well worth the nerves!
Am looking forward to receiving my diploma and I will be starting my practice at the Sunnydale Health Clinic in Ivybridge, Devon from the 7th September – just weekends to start with, then building up as I continue to study your Nutrition Course and others. I intend cutting down on my regular job until I can let it go altogether.
I am really enjoying my coursework with the School of Natural Health Sciences and it’s doubly satisfying knowing that I can start a ‘new career path’ at 55!

Self Study: We recommend this more economical study method to students who are already familiar with studying and those who require the minimum amount of feedback with their coursework.
Tutored: This study method provides that extra support from a ‘Professional Tutor,’ by email, for people who like or need additional encouragement and feedback throughout their studies.
