”What do I love about the Scherer Institute? That the teachers teach so much more than their subjects. They teach with their whole beings. When I looked at massage schools closer to home, I knew that there was something more that I wanted. I didn't have a name for it - couldn't articulate it. I'm so happy that I kept on believing that the right thing existed somewhere and eternally grateful that I found it. I'm a part time massage therapist/ aromatherapist and founder of The Hamsa Project - an apolitical organisation that provides a healing space, via bodywork, to those who have suffered physically and/or emotionally from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict”.
