About the Director Owner & Founder of Gateway

Hello my name is Sue Bailey thank you for visiting our site. I am the director, owner and founder of Gateway Workshops and this has been my passion for over 25 years!

I was a therapist and then a tutor for over 8 years teaching Indian head massage and Reiki/Seichem Healing, I enjoyed my time as a tutor and the students loved my high standards and care. The feedback from students was that they were unhappy however with other schools and the lack of quality of their training.

I was in contact with many excellent tutors that did not have the time or finances to promote themselves, I was asked for their contact details which took me on the next stage of my journey. I gave up teaching to dedicate all my time to starting a new school, that was back in 1998 and I have spent every year carefully selecting tutors to run the courses we offer, making sure high standards were the number one priority.

I built Gateway slowly with only a few tutors and just a handful of accredited courses to start with and now we have over 100 accredited courses and over 25 tutors!

I am extremely proud of what I have built over the last twenty years and our feedback is wonderful from the thousands of students we teach.

We offer the personal touch with high standards, we also offer affordable courses and fantastic aftercare by tutors with great passion for what they do.

We all love our jobs and this reflects in the courses you will receive - we very much look forward to seeing you soon!

BROWSE COURSES

There are a certain amount of points required by the various bodies (IFPA, FHT etc) to ensure that members are up to date with various therapies. For example Aromatherapists are required every 3 years to keep their training in massage up to date and will look for CPD courses to be able to do this.

Our CPD courses are available for the professional massage therapist or for the complete beginner. All professional bodies award one day courses various amounts of CPD points, on average FHT & Embody award 5 - 15 points. Please check with your association to confirm CPD points.
