Hear From Our Happy Customers

Amanda is amazing a really good therapist and teacher  Amanda taught me sports massage. She’s not all about aromatherapy and relaxing massages this lady can do it all when it comes to Anatomy and Physiology she can definitely help you recover

I can’t thank her enough for what she did for me. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t have my own business in sports massage injury & rehabilitation.

I have trained with Amanda in the past. Level 2 Beauty. I enjoyed attending the classes, found the teaching to be professional, yet also enjoyable. The years course went by in no time and Amanda was always very helpful and patient when I needed extra support. Amanda was also very informative with advice on after qualifying, and going into the working environment. I highly recommend being taught by Amanda

I had my eyebrows microbladed at Ammonite Beauty. I have people frequently ask me where my brows have been done (that’s why I am writing this review, so others can feel as great as I have with Ammonite Beauty).
