WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

Angela Woodward

“All the educators at Phoenix are quick to bolster any student having a rough day and not only taught us to have faith in ourselves and that we were worth it, but there was no judgement passed. Phoenix taught me I can do things I never thought I could. Without this encouragement, I would never have been able to leave my job and become a therapist.”

Penelope Morrison

“After 28 years of working in the Civil Service, I took voluntary redundancy to embark on a new career. I now have my own treatment room, specialise in maternity, fertility and facial reflexology and have the best job, working hours I choose and meeting lots of wonderful clients and other Therapists.”

“I was a teacher at a secondary school – I was getting married to a man that travels the world on business and couldn’t go with him as I was tied to school holidays. Retraining in Complimentary Therapies has enabled me to take early retirement from teaching and start my own business being a mobile Reflexologist and also a massive bonus of being able to tag along when my Husband goes abroad on business!”

“I admit that before training, I was concerned about being an older trainee but I didn’t have to worry at all, it’s very welcoming and I went on to book further courses. The entire process was great, easy to understand the courses and you fit in very well with everyone. I can’t praise them enough for expanding my knowledge and realising you are never too old to change your working career.”

“I am a Mum of two lovely boys and when they both started school I felt a bit lost and wanted a job I would enjoy and would fit in around the kids. As I finished school so many years ago I was worried as to whether I would be able to study and learn all the A&P, as well as mixing with new people. I am so pleased I chose Phoenix as they have a very high standard of teaching which I have since learnt is really hard to find. And they really do want you to succeed. And even after the course had finished Louise was always there for advice.”

Vicky Arrowsmith

I was working in London and knew but really wanted to change my career. After completing my beauty course, I worked in a salon part-time whilst completing my level 3 Holistic therapies.

I went on to work mobile and am now home-based. I absolutely love my job making other people feel good gives me a real buzz and working for myself fits perfectly around my family. The best move I ever made

Sarah West

Entering this industry was the best thing I ever did, I love my job. Coming from a world of being on the phone every day, it’s really refreshing to speak to clients face to face and it becomes a chance to visit them to have a good chin wag. I am so thankful for all I’ve learnt so far, I believe it saved me and I am looking forward to learning so much more. Life is for living and seeing your clients happy and relaxed is priceless. The beauty industry is so much more than just polishing nails, it’s a life change

Sue Walker-Newson

I wanted to get away from sitting in an office shovelling papers and helping rich people make more money. I wanted to do something worthwhile and make a difference to people. I began training in massage with Louise, which began with an interview. She assessed us and our learning skills, I joined the course and never looked back. I followed this up with Reflexology and whilst on that course did Mian Dui too.

“At Phoenix, you are educated in running a business as well as the treatments. You learn the codes of conduct and health and safety. After your practical assessments and assignments, there are the case studies and the anatomy and physiology exams. You are encouraged to become a member of the Association of Reflexologists. It was exciting at the age of 52 to be achieving letters after my name and it is reassuring for clients to know we have been trained properly.”

Rose McLeod

My journey started when I was working for Farleigh Hospice and began doing palliative massage. I was interested in complementary therapy and pain management. I wanted to train in Swedish Massage and did my initial training at ACL in Chelmsford. However, I was finding that at The J’s Hospice more of the patients were requesting reflexology as it is more accessible. You can do it on someone in a wheelchair and there is no need for the patient to get undressed. Phoenix was really the best place to learn it, there are not that many establishments that do the AOR accredited training. My tutor was nominated for Tutor of the Year at the Federation of Holistic Therapists.
