I have been taking several classes with Green Tara and every one is better than the other. The amount of knowledge and wisdom I am getting through the classes is immense and beyond any of my expectations, and the professionalism of the teaching is outstanding

I have recently completed the ITEC Reflexology diploma course with Majella at Green Tara. I cannot recommend this college highly enough. The training is meticulous, detailed, spiritual and holistic. I am so glad I chose this college for my studies as I feel it produces the best therapists in the country. Keep up the good work Majella and team

I genuinely enjoyed my course with Green Tara College. I took reflexology last year, and I must say, my experience was outstanding. Everything was 100 per cent. Teachers Majella, and Carlo, and the staff were friendly and helpful, the course was well-structured, and the teaching methods were highly effective. I would recommend Green Tara College to anyone looking for a great learning experience!

I have studied four courses to date at Green Tara College (ITEC Diploma in Reflexology, Indian Head Massage, Hopi Ear Candling and Reiki Level 1). The course content is fantastic. Majella and her team real go over and above to provide detailed learning to their students. The attention to detail is second to none and as a result I feel very confident now in my delivery of these treatments to others. I would highly recommend Green Tara as a college to study in and I am looking forward to attending further courses in Green Tara.

I can highly recommend studying with Green Tara College. I have completed a year long diploma in reflexology which I thoroughly enjoyed. The course is well structured with knowledgeable tutors and excellent supporting material e.g. Moodle and manuals. The practical aspect is well supervised enabling students to feel confident and competent to work upon completion of the course. The course also incorporated all aspects of starting up your own business which was really worthwhile. There are very good opportunities for post graduate courses to extend knowledge and skills which will enhance your business. I will definitely be undertaking further courses with Green Tara College in the future.

Amazing course, perfect balance of information and practice. Majella is a fantastic teacher and so in tune with each student. She created a wonderful space for us all to feel safe and supported in and ensured that each of us were equipped to practice this beautiful new skill. The passion for Reiki, compassion towards each person and deep knowledge that Majella demonstrated throughout the course combined to make this an incredibly special experience that I will not forget. In addition, the training content and post course supports enable each person to continue on their journey with Reiki in a supported way, in the way that’s right for them going forward. Would highly recommend!
