My name is Marc Innes and I am the owner and Principal of the School of Natural Therapies. I must begin by saying that I feel honoured and excited to be the proud new owner of a school that has had an excellent reputation for the past 21 years! The Previous owner, Ina Jensen, worked hard to give the school the prestige it has today and it is my intention to carry on that work with a marvellous team of experienced and professional tutors at my side.
I began my career in the NHS, working in a number of managerial and training roles within the Ambulance Service in London – I spent much of that time educating and coaching medical staff. Over time I developed an interest in all things complementary to Allopathic Medicine, in particular, Reiki Healing, which along with EFT, culminated in me running a successful teaching and ‘energy healing’ practice in Brighton. Having spent many years in the medical profession, I have an extensive knowledge of Anatomy & Physiology and I have been invited on several occasions to coach medical staff & Drs in resuscitation and emergency care procedures; this sound medical knowledge has also served me well in the massage and complementary therapy industry.
I have studied and taught many forms of massage over the years, including Holistic, Sports & Deep Tissue and Aromatherapy. For the past four years I have written manuals, taught Post Grad, Advanced and CPD courses to the massage industry and filmed instructional DVD's .It is fascinating to combine what I have learnt over the years in the allopathic medical world, with massage and complementary health and I firmly believe that all disciplines can be ‘complementary’ with one another to help bring about ‘well-being’ and vitality for everyone who seek this kind of treatment. Whether you wish to qualify in our ITEC Holistic Massage Diploma course, study Sports Massage or Aromatherapy, Beauty therapy, or gain advanced or CPD training, I look forward to welcoming you to one of our popular courses.
