AB Holistic Therapies - Kinetic Chain Release and massage

ab holistic therapies - kinetic chain release and massage

5.0(12)

Edinburgh

My adventure with massage started when, just out of curiosity, I took an Introduction to Massage Course in the School of Holistic Therapy, in Edinburgh at the end of 2015. To my big surprise, at the end of the course the principal tutor asked me if I’d like to take a Diploma course in Holistic Therapeutic Massage, since she liked the way I worked. I was able to start straight away, and what a great 10 months they were. I loved it, always looking forward till the next course weekend. I learned a lot of massage pain-relieving techniques (including myofascial release, neuromuscular techniques and stretching) as well as lots of anatomy, physiology and pathology. I also learnt a great deal about myself and the importance of listening and recognising not only physical but also emotional state of people we work with. If I had never got to work doing massage I would always be grateful for the opportunity to do this course. My only regret is that I didn’t do it earlier. It would have helped me a lot in difficult times which preceded my massage adventure. That was only the beginning. After taking my final exams, Simonetta, the principal tutor, offered me a job of a Teaching Assistant in her school and I’ve been working for her ever since. The more I learnt, the more I realised how much more there is to know. Hence my next step was Advanced Myofascial Release – in the same school. I find working with fascia (a connective tissue) really enjoyable. This kind of work is incredibly effective, not only on a physical but also an emotional level, and it’s definitely the kind of work I want to specialise in.

As a leading training provider, we aim to provide business knowledge & services to transform people and industry.  Whyy choose us?  "I have just recently finished my CMI Level 5 apprenticeship in Management & Leadership. Despite the challenges of COVID in the last 18 months Whyy Change quickly adapted to online learning and they were always there for me. I couldn't recommend them anymore, fantastic experience. Abi Holloway Supply Chain Manager, Sonoco Consumer Products Ltd I decided to do an apprenticeship to develop my skills in my role and was thrilled to come away with a distinction Level 4 Improvement Practitioner. Whilst Lean doesn’t always fit in my work environment I have come away with many tools and techniques that I can use to make my work more effective. The team at Whyy Change were friendly and informative and fully supported us through Covid-19 lockdowns, supporting us with regular Zoom calls when we were unable to visit the office. Amanda Hammer Digital Designer, Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council Having worked with Whyy? Change for a number of years, I have had nothing but excellent feedback from every apprentice or team member who has engaged in training with them. The whole Whyy? Change team go that extra mile to ensure that learners find the best way to learn for them and encourage and inspire success. Julia Bloomer DL Head of Learning & Development and HR, AESSEAL PLC I’ve recently completed my Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) Level 4 Digital Marketing Qualification through an apprenticeship. Emma was extremely helpful throughout the onboarding process and explained everything. My tutor was Laura, who answered any question I had and explained the content in multiple ways if I didn’t understand a certain topic. I can’t recommend Whyy? Change enough it was a great environment to learn within. Such a supportive, caring and encouraging environment. Millie Wilkinson Communications Assistant, Henry Boot PLC I would highly recommend doing an apprenticeship or any other course with Whyy? Change. The help and support I received from all the staff was like no other and I always received 100% from all of them. I’ll be very very impressed and shocked if anyone else can top the level of kindness, helpfulness, passion and respect shown by Whyy? Change. Whether you're straight out of school or looking for a career change after 20 years, Whyy? is the one to choose.
