Student Experiences

I attended Leah’s academy for some Aesthetics training this week. I chose Leah’s programme as unlike many courses she offers 1:1 training. This is such a benefit as I was able to ask questions relevant to my own learning needs and had lots of models to practice on. I felt really confident when I left. Leah and her team were also really welcoming and put me at ease and the learning environment was beautiful. The theory work that Leah provides before the course is easy to follow and very comprehensive. I had a teaching session before I attended the course via zoom which was really helpful. I truly felt Leah cared that I got the best training possible. I couldn’t have been happier with my decision to attend Glowing by Leah’s Academy and I’m really looking forward to booking more training with her.
J Pearce
I was looking for somewhere that has small groups to expand my career horizon. A friend of mine suggested to learn with Leah as all her courses are either 1-1 or 2-1 which really benefited me.

“A fantastic and very engaging course. All of the information offered by Leah was completely practical, relevant and presented in an easy, understandable and interesting way.”
Beth Stephens
Had some aesthetics training with Leah. Wish I found her sooner! Very down to earth and a great teacher. Really enjoyed my one to one training, I have left feeling very confident. Highly recommend for training courses or treatments!
