Chrysalis Teaching Ethos
We aim to run small, friendly and informal courses which can start a journey into the fascinating world of complementary therapies.
We believe that learning should be enjoyable and does not always have to lead to an exam and that learning for pleasure is equally valuable.
We aim to enable our students to work at their own pace and adapt our teaching to encompass any particular learning or physical needs.
We feel privileged to be able to take our students from a place of interest in complementary therapies to being able to confidently carry out treatments within their home environment.
We welcome existing therapists who would like to try out another skill before committing to an in-depth diploma course.
