Here's what some of our graduates have to say:

"The learning experience with Joyessence was an incredibly fulfilling experience from beginning to end. What I learned in modules 1 and 2 gave me the confidence to work with others in the health care profession. I travelled to Ontario for the bodywork course and after a few days of giving and receiving the massage I knew that it was essential for me to make the bodywork a part of my practice and lifestyle. I love giving this massage because I feel rejuvenated and calm after giving it. Aromatherapy has become a passion and a lifelong educational journey that was inspired by Joy and her informative course. Thank you Joy!"
M. Selders, Calgary, AB

"This course has improved my quality of life, my health and my self-esteem. It made me knowledgeable enough and secure within my inner self to open a business... The bodywork course gets 5 stars! Hands on learning is my style. It was easy, comfortable not stuffy, and the teacher was kind, patient and smart. I made friends for life in that class. Joy is understanding and really wants us all to be the best at what we can be."
M. Goetting, Castlegar, B.C.
