If it weren\u2019t for my dyslexia, Brighton Holistics might not exist. <\/b>I didn\u2019t like school and I found it difficult to learn in the traditional system. I first trained as a massage therapist\u00a0 over 20 years ago, and when I re-qualified in 2006 I was horrified to find out that industry had become a lot like the school I used to hate \u2013 huge groups and a \u2018one size fits all\u2019 approach, with no consideration for individual needs. I looked at this conveyor-belt learning and thought to myself that there had to be a better way, so I set up Brighton Holistics.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Our courses attract everybody and anybody<\/b>. We\u2019ve taught all sorts of people, from solicitors and teachers to healthcare professionals interested in complementary therapies. We run our courses in the way that we ourselves would like to be taught, creating a friendly, relaxed environment that\u2019s nothing like school. That means comfy sofas, no desks and keeping the kettle on at all times!<\/div>\n

You wouldn\u2019t expect your doctor to be unqualified, so why your therapist? <\/b>A lot of people don\u2019t think of massage or waxing as a procedure, but if it\u2019s not done properly the consequences can be disastrous, involving serious injuries. That\u2019s why it\u2019s essential that therapists are fully qualified from an accredited and reputable course, like the ones we run at Brighton Holistics. There\u2019s a difference between just being \u2018certificated\u2019 and actually qualified, and many of our clients come to us after finding that they\u2019ve spent \u00a3800+ on a course which doesn\u2019t allow them to work professionally within the industry. It takes at least four days to become a qualified manicurist, but there are courses out there that just last one day. That\u2019s a sure sign that they\u2019re not industry accredited and they should be avoided.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Our students have gone on to work all over the place, including the Olympics! <\/b>As well as many who stay in the local area, we\u2019ve had people go as far afield as Australia, and one graduate is currently following the baton relay for the Commonwealth Games. We\u2019re proud of what we\u2019ve accomplished in the last eight years and we\u2019d like to keep on as we are, delivering the best quality training and helping people to become qualified and achieve what they\u2019ve always wanted to do.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Woodingdean is a great place to live and work. <\/b>We have a friendly community and the perfect location on the edge of the city. I hope that as business owners we\u2019ll carry on building up on what we already have and working together to make the town even better.<\/div>\n
