Meet The Principal
And tutor
Mark David Woollard
I joined this marvellous industry in 2004 when I first started my training in Swedish massage. At first I was doing it as a ‘back up’ career as I wanted to be a full time writer. Before I knew it, I fell in love with holistic therapy and it has been my full time career for almost twenty years. After catching ‘the bug’, I trained in Indian Head Massage, Reflexology, facials, Reiki, deep tissue massage and the list goes on and on. My CV is now rather long! I think it’s important not to become stagnant and to keep learning. As the old adage goes, KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! And there’s nothing more powerful than complementary therapy.
I run my own mobile therapy business; Massage, facials and holistic therapy by Mark and it makes me feel old that I’ve now been treating some of my clients for over fifteen years. I love nothing more than seeing the joy on a client’s face after every single treatment. I specialise in Reflexology for mental health and have even created my own facial technique called “Deep Plump and Glow Facial.”
I started my teaching career back in 2019 when I joined the Middlesex School of Complementary Medicine as a tutor and I also teach the ITEC Level 3 Massage diploma at CityLit college in Covent Garden, London.
I can’t wait to see you on a course in the future. I just love passing on my knowledge and passion to the therapists of the future. My motto when it comes to teaching is to be FUN, CARING and PROFESSIONAL. Come and join us at the Surrey School of Holistic Therapy, where learning never stops!
