Fantastically useful and thrilling course. Totally inspiring and couldn’t be beat.

AMAZING. Amanda was the best teacher I could’ve hoped for, was very helpful and gave good feedback. I felt much more confident in my abilities by the end of the week.

Very structured and inclusive course and teaching.
