Who are we! Meet the Team!

Devon Academy opened in 2005 and is a well established as a college which has earned itself an excellent reputation in the industry. We have a small but enthusiastic and passionate team some of whom have been practicing massage therapists for over twenty seven years. We teach some of the most thorough massage techniques in the industry which will set you ahead of the competition from the very beginning. ITEC massage courses are recognized worldwide and we are one of the best colleges offering this training in Europe. Our fast track courses are suitable for keen, enthusiastic students wishing to complete their training as quickly as possible, in order to start their new career. No experience is necessary just a willingness to learn and put in the work. We teach the whole syllabus in an intensive, innovative but fun way and most of our students achieve a credit or distinction and to date we have successfully maintained 100% pass rate. Our classes are small, so that we can offer each individual advice and support! New E learning option now at Devon Academy! Currently for the APP course only but we hope to role out the Massage; Aromatherapy and Reflexology theory by E learning in the New Year. Leaving our practical sessions to focus on bringing the APP alive and polishing your therapy techniques.

Our Principal

Gail Lowe

is a practicing massage therapist with over 27 years experience in the industry. Disillusioned with both general and psychiatric nursing she initially trained with Prof: Arnold Taylor, founder of ITEC, at the Imperial College, London. She developed a very successful self employed business in North Devon adding Clinical Aromatherapy to her portfolio.

She opened the Healing Arts Therapy centre in 1990’s where she worked closely with other therapists, osteopaths, local GP’s and hospitals. She was invited to give lectures to nurses and teach workshops to GP’s about the benefits of massage and aromatherapy. She ran a drop-in aromatherapy clinic and would mix topical applications for babies with eczema; patients with varicose ulcers and many other conditions as well as developing her own products.

During this time she also trained in Level 4 Sports massage at the Northern Institute in Blackpool, with Eddie Caldwell and Lars Peterson author of Sports injuries. Focusing her treatments on combining remedial massage with aromatherapy she has helped many Olympic athletes recover from injuries and return to peak performance as part of their training regime. Gail considers that it was her enthusiasm and passion combined with the very thorough training she has received along the way, that is responsible for her success. She is concerned with the quality of treatments she has received worldwide, which has led her to open Devon Academy and share her skills and expertise with her students during their training.

ITEC QFC Level 3 Aromatherapy Diploma

You need no previous experience to become an Aromatherapist! Join one of the most rewarding & interesting therapies by learning how to mix your own blends to treat many

physical and emotional disorders, this is so much more than an aromatic massage! Our Aromatherapists mix and

blend their own products for successful treatment of skin diseases, fluid retention, PMT and many other conditions.

Learn how to use oils in massage, baths, inhalations, masks, compress, gargles, shampoos, butters etc

The Truth about Aromatherapy! “Not just a nice smell” Essential Oils affect the body physically, mentally and emotionally and are chosen for their therapeutic properties

and not just their aroma alone. A true Aromatherapist should have the skill and expertise to be mixing their own

blends for their clients and not buying pre-blended oils

has been brilliant, the resources, organisation and support from Gail and Derek outstanding! Thank you. AF 2012

Student Reviews

• Excellent. Gail is very knowledgeable and friendly. The course covered every detail and Gail was very happy to explain things again if needed. I was made to feel very comfortable and feel more than able to use what I had learnt today within my business. I would highly recommend Devon Academy. LR Feb 13
