I am yet again blown away by Majella Fagan’s ability and genius and inspiration in creating massage training. Her sensitivity to the needs of clients for each treatment and the beauty of the strokes blow me away, many of which she says are guided by spirit. Working as a spiritual massage healer therapist I know there is nowhere else that I can find the level of training and facilitation that I am looking for, a thorough groundedness and knowledge along with a deep spiritual passion. It was an awesome inspiring experience. Not only that, I came away inspired and assured of the treatment and how I can offer it out to help others. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Sarah Dunlop
