Hi Karen
Not sure if Linda has already e-mailed you - but just wanted to say we both had a very enjoyable day on the Hopi Ear Candle course on the 9th June. We both found it fascinating and are enjoying doing treatments on our family and friends. You made us feel very welcome and we both found Therapy Training School a very calming place to be!
Many thanks again, it was very nice to meet you.
Kind regards |

Hi Karen,
After completing my Hopi Ear Candle Therapist Training Course with you I feel I have to let you know how much of an education it has been.
You made me feel at ease straight away and Therapy Training School is the most relaxed setting anyone could be in. Your teaching skills are fantastic so it was easy to learn everything I needed to in one day. Any questions I have had since then (as I have begun to practice) you have been able to answer quickly and comprehensively. Just what I needed to boost my confidence.
As you'll remember I advised my sister Vanessa to learn Indian Head Massage with you. She feels as enthusiastic as I do about your teaching style, course content and easy availability of on-going help and support.
Thankyou so much Karen for your patience and knowledge and we will be seeing you again very soon. |

I think that Therapy Training School was the ideal place to complete my Indian Head Massage Course. I felt very relaxed and comfortable within my surroundings and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Both Karen and Karl were very friendly and welcoming and Karen made the course very informative yet simple to follow. I now feel confident that I can offer an IHM as part of my new business.
The training manual I was issued with was very detailed and helpful and I’m sure I will use it again for reference in the future!
Overall I had a great day – money well spent I feel!!

Hi Karen,
Many thanks for the excellent training you conducted last weekend. I must confess I was a little apprehensive before I arrived as I was concerned that I would not understand or pick up the theory and practical in such a short time.
I need not have worried and would have no hesitation in recommending a beginner with little or no knowledge such as myself to Therapy Training School for training.
I feel so confident I have booked a client in for next week and am raring to go. So once again many thanks. |

Dear Karen,
Thankyou for the additional information you forwarded onto me after the course yesterday. I enjoyed the training day very much. Therapy Training School as a venue is very calming and relaxing with a lovely secluded garden emitting a sense of peace.
I was made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble or any question too daft and your explanations were very easy to understand. I certainly enjoyed the experience of the treatment as it was so relaxing. My head felt very clear going home which is most unusual after a training day.
It was also good to know the results of the test quickly. My colleagues are waiting with baited breath for a demonstration from me. Thanks again Karen, take care.

Many thanks Karen.
Compliments on the Indian Head Massage Course. It's not often that a training course is so enjoyable!
It also reinforced my confidence in continuing to pursue a change in lifestyle and career. Thanks again and I will be in touch soon. |

The professionalism of teaching at Therapy Training School was first class and Karen, conducted the training in a very organised and professional manner.
I felt the quality of information provided during the training was very thorough and taught in such a way that it was easily absorbed and understood. The pace of the workshops was just right, with plenty of time to learn and ask questions.
The surroundings and atmosphere at Therapy Training School is very tranquil and relaxing. Karen, I felt at ease at all times and as if I had known you for years. All the information you require is contained in the handouts which are very professionally detailed and drawn up so that, n comparison to other workshops, I feel that I had good value for my money.
The on-going support which you make available after the workshop if and when required is excellent. Karen, I know that if you are not able to answer calls straight away, you always get back to me as soon as you can.
In conclusion I feel that Therapy Training School is the perfect place and setting for workshops. You only have to look at the Web site and you are drawn to it. |

I recently attended Therapy Training School for training in Indian Head Massage. Therapy Training School itself is a wonderfully calming place and has an aura of peace and tranquility which automatically put me at my ease on arrival. The training room itself was ideally laid out for training and had a relaxed but professional atmosphere about it. Karen instantly made me feel at home and so any sort of nerves went straight out of the window!
The training itself was taught in a methodical way, covering all the theory first before 'towelling up' for the practical side! I found Karen's teaching method clear and consise and very easy to follow. The whole day was full of learning all kinds of theory on anatomy, techniques and client consultation advice as well as in depth practical training which was detailed, professional yet relaxing and informal.
The contents of the course was great, it covered everything a budding therapist would need to know and more! and I found the course handout/training manual extremely
helpful once I got home as it outlined all the techniques that are used in IHM so at least I knew I had something to look back on if I had any doubt.
At the end of the day, after all the theory and practical training, I felt I had learnt so much and was thrilled to receive my certificate, Karen was also great in that she even offered any phone advice should we have any
questions afterwards, which was very reassuring to know. All in all, I'd say the cost of the course is easily reflected in the amount of training, learning and practical work you get to do on the days training and was in my opinion extremely good value for money and I am keen to get started with more training at Therapy Training School!" |

As part of our summer programme the Piccadilly Women's Group, a social and support group for asylum seeking and refugee women living in North Staffordshire, was fortunate enough to have Karen Aitken attend to deliver two short courses in Indian Head Massage.
Karen’s expertise was very evident in her ability to convey the course to women, many of whom do not speak English, by using many different forms of communication such as pictures, body language and demonstrations. The women who attended commented on Karen’s enthusiasm and kind nature which made the course that much more enjoyable.
Karen’s course was particularly valuable to us because she made Indian Head Massage available to a community who would not have normally been able to access it. The women who attend the group have experienced extreme trauma and stress in their lives and Karen has now empowered them to assist each other and their communities in releasing tension and feeling better equipped to deal with stress.
In addition to feeling relaxed and stress free they left the sessions certificate in hand, feeling proud and eager to apply their new skills for friends and family,
As part of our mission to reduce inequalities in health by making services more accessible to asylum seekers and refugees in Stoke-on-Trent, Karen’s Indian Head Massage course has been very beneficial. I hope to include her in our summer schedule next year for the Piccadilly Women’s Group. Thanks Karen, Kind regards |

Hi Karen
Further to our conversation the other day, I am happy to give feedback on the training I have received from you in Hopi Ear Candling and Indian Head Massage.
In general I found the workshops to be very professional in their approach and certainly the setting and the facilities were very good. On a personal level, I learn best through a hands on approach and I was not disappointed. You have a very easy manner Karen, but you still manage to inspire confidence that you are experienced and really do know what you are talking about. That translates into a workshop that is full of information but also fun.
I very much liked the mixture of information given followed by personal hands-on practical work in each area before moving on to the next part of the course.
I also found the number of people in the workshops to be just right - enough to give other people's input and for everybody to have sufficient opportunity to work through the practical aspects of the courses, but not too many that you struggle to get an opportunity to have a go.
The handouts were very good and also gave information on where to get supplies, etc. The setting was also very nice and there was a constant supply of tea and coffee and a good number of breaks.
All in all, I found the workshops to be good value for money and I would not hesitate to book for other courses in the future. Kind regards |

It was lovely to meet you and my fellow students last Wednesday. I did enjoy the course very much and found it to be very interesting and informative and a big thank you for all your hard work.
I have to tell you that I felt totally relaxed but energised (if that makes sense) after my treatment and the journey home was a lot better than in the morning. I just did not feel tired at all! I have arranged insurance cover to start straight away and as soon as I receive the insurance certificate I will send you a copy.
At the moment I am busy decorating my therapy room and getting things ready for take off soon. Again, many thanks. |

Dear Karen,
I just wanted to thank you for a very healing, relaxing day at your place for the Hopi Course. I have only managed to practice once on my husband as yet as I have been very busy at home and work, but hope to get some more practice in soon as I don't want to lose my skills!!
I am thinking about a website but before that I want to send for the otoscope and some other items. I will practice on family and friends first and see how it goes. Thanks again for a lovely day! |

After searching around for a Reiki tutor in the Staffordshire area I read an article in the Sentinel about Therapy Training School. My friend had told me "you don't find Reiki, Reiki finds you". I gave them a call and arranged to go along for an informal chat. Karen Aitken is the Reiki Master and she gave me a very warm welcome.
I was quite nervous but Karen's easy going, calming style put me right at ease within moments. After about 30 minutes she had given me some general background about Reiki and what things the Level One workshop included, I went away enthused and looking forward to learning Reiki.
A week later I was back for my Reiki Level One Training and Attunement. The day consisted of a detailed induction in the morning, where i learned all about the history, principles and lineage of Reiki.
It is essential to have a good grounding in the principles of Reiki so that you might appreciate it more greatly and also, use it more wisely.
My attunement was a great experience. Reiki is energy that's all around us, but to be able to channel it the student must first be attuned. Don't worry, it's totally painless. Within days of being attuned and practicing reiki healing on myself I noticed how well I was sleeping and my intuition improved greatly. I was seeking stability in my life and since then I have met my partner and we now have a beautiful daughter.
Later this year I'm hoping to take my Reiki Level Two. I'll definitely be visiting Therapy Training School again due to their kindness and broad knowledge of our shared passion - Reiki. |

Hi Karen,
Just wanted to say a huge thankyou for a very enjoyable and informative day yesterday.
I enjoyed myself so much and found the whole day so interesting. I now have a long list of poor unsuspecting souls willing to let me practise on them!!
I will definitely see you again as I am very interested in the other courses you offer. Kindest Regards and Best Wishes |
