    I followed my intuition only when I booked in for Despina’s course and how good that I’ve done! I wanted to improve my massage skill, find this school online and booked in for Level 1. Already on the first day of my training I loved it so much I decide to stay and learn more, so I have done Level 2 as well in one go. Despina is a highly skilled excellent teacher, with her kind and welcoming personality she made this amazing method so easy to learn. Also keeps pointing out the necessity for the comfortable positions of the therapist during the massage sessions. Highly recommend the course for anyone working with bodies and interested in massage. Thank you so much I can’t wait to develop my knowledge to the next level!
  • Gemma

    I have had many massages in my life, but never have I experienced anything as wonderful as Ayurvedic Yoga Massage. And Jacqueline is truly wonderful. She was very caring, listened to my needs and very thorough. You can tell she really loves what she does, and she wants you to have the best experience too.
  • Tyme

    Despina is a knowledgeable and passionate therapist and teacher, she has a high attention to important details that make the world of difference in a massage, and I am very grateful for everything she has taught me. The course can be challenging and pushes you to be your best, it’s an extremely rewarding feeling to complete it and know you’re going into treatments with an abundance of knowledge. Thank you Despina 🙂
