Testimonials
Helen’s teaching is simple, detailed, effective with systematic step-by-step guidance. She is a very passionate trainer, and always pushed me to my highest potential.
After completing the course, I have acquired new skills, more equipped with a deeper and better understanding of delivering a good and effective therapy. I also felt empowered as a Wellness Therapist.
I highly recommend Helen as a trainer, as she has unique abilities, knowledge, skills and many years of experience in delivering her training.
The Professional Certificate in Wellness Therapy and Practices course was not only an efficient way to achieve the necessary licensing for my work, but was also a good means of revisiting important fundamentals in all forms of bodywork. The theoretical and practical aspects of bodywork were covered in a clear and concise manner, with enriching personal sharing by the course instructors in reminding the participants of duties of care and consideration for their clients. In a short span of time, the disciplines needed in ensuring a positive and enriching client journey were covered and gently trained, regardless of the level of skill or experience of the participants. I found the learning environment to be very open (despite being the only male therapist then), and with careful guidance the class was able to cover all the techniques and practices needed. I wholeheartedly recommend the PC-WTP course as hosted by the Republic Polytechnic.
