Solise Holistic School was founded by Lisa, a passionate and experienced therapist and tutor, with the vision of creating a space where learning feels supportive, inspiring, and enjoyable. The school offers a flexible, student-centred approach, recognising that everyone learns differently and thrives when they feel cared for and encouraged.

At Solise, students are guided not only to gain recognised qualifications, but also to build genuine confidence in their skills. The emphasis is on small groups, plenty of hands-on practice, and an atmosphere where questions are always welcome.

Whether someone is starting their very first course or adding new skills to an existing practice, they can expect a nurturing environment where learning is personal, professional, and full of encouragement.
