I’ve just completed my VTCT Level 2 in Facial Massage and Skincare at Silk Healing with Amelia, and I honestly couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. Amelia is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and professional —an inspiring teacher who brings out the best in her students. Her passion for what she does shines through in every session, and she creates such a warm, supportive environment to learn and grow in. Not only is she amazing at what she does, but she also genuinely cares about each student’s journey. I’ve come away from this course feeling confident, empowered, and with a friend for life. I can’t recommend Amelia and Silk Healing enough! If you're thinking of training here, do it! I know I'll be back for more!
