Alma Vale Centre

I had a wonderful course of aromatherapy massages from Cath.
She was skilled in understanding my mental and physical needs based on friendly and relaxed questions at the beginning of the session. She would then tailor the massage to these which resulted in a positive effect on both my body and my mind.
Highly recommend! More...

I work as a decorator and my shoulders are always tight and full of knots, she worked especially In this area and I felt so much better after her session.

I've been racing mountain bikes for a few years now. Acupuncture has seen me through two shoulder injuries, one which required surgery. I don't think I could have recovered so quickly without Jill's expert needling. I've regained full movement in my shoulders again, and back on the bike. More...

I could not not recommend this course highly enough.. it was one of the best experiences of my life and although I am not a practising massage therapist anymore - it taught me a lot about me. The holistic approach is just wonderful and great for the soul! Sarah Cohen is a brilliant teacher - I'm so pleased I picked this course over any sort of 'beauty therapist' course as it was so much more than just leaving the actions. I only wish I had been braver and more confident to stick with my business for longer but you can never say never! � More...

This massage and bodywork course literally changed my life both on a personal and professional level. I was really nervous about receiving touch due to past experiences and knew that I would facing my edges. After my initial consultation with Sarah prior to the course starting I knew that this was the course for me. I knew that I would be held in a safe and nurturing environment. I knew that the professionalism was mixed with nurturance. I felt safe. The teaching was amazing...layer by layer I took in new knowledge. Layer by layer my body armouring dissolved. I knew about boundaries, I knew about appropriate touch, I knew that I was supported through my edges. The anatomy and physiology freaked me out. My old demons of school days flooded back but Karen teaches in the most fun loving and wild ways that the information embeds into the very fabric of your being. Sarah, Colette, Tara and Karen were a dynamic, eclectic and absolutely wonderful team who held the space for us to learn and grow. I am now a professional massage therapist and sound therapist because I have the confidence AND the skills to do so. My world has opened up immensely and I never truly believed the quote that "If you love what you do then You will never work a day in your life again" but IT IS true. I am utterly in love with my work and all the opportunities it has provided for me. I am so grateful I took the first steps towards this qualification and the ongoing support of these wonderful tutors even after you have qualified. I have made friends for life and I will never look back - after all sitting at a desk and computer screen day in day out was a very slow painful death. I now feel alive everyday!! (Can you hear my passion for the course!!) Do it, take that first step and then watch yourself unfold x More...

As a therapist I love working from the Alma Vale Centre and feel very inspired working alongside other fantastic therapists. There is a wonderful team spirit and we all work together to bring the best out in our clients. I've also had the pleasure of being treated by Cath Mowbray when my back was so bad I was unable to massage and her fantastic expertise helped me immensely. I highly recommend the Alma Vale Centre as a place to work and as a place to seek highly skilled and well trained therapists. More...

I studied on the Professional Training Course and can’t speak highly enough of BCMB. The standards of teaching were excellent and the tutors all brought their own deep knowledge and experience to share. I don’t think I was prepared for how intense the course would be, but each and every one of the fantastic tutors supported me at every stage, in a way that I could only describe as way above and beyond expectations.A mind-blowing, life-changing experience. I feel blessed to have found BCMB and am very grateful to everyone involved for making this such a fabulous course. As a practicing professional massage therapist, I can see what a huge difference choosing the right course can make. Do it! You won’t look back! More...
