Testimonials:
"It is something completely different to anything the college has ever provided. The tutor has an immense amount of knowledge and is a qualified practitioner. There are real life experiences shared within the day. We learnt about its origins and how it has changed through the decades. We were able to go outside and practice some of the skills that the tutor uses with her clients, so we could see how they work and how we, as practitioners can implement them within our work. The tutor gave us her information to contact if we want to link up in the future." - Chloe, previous workshop attendee.
