About
Welcome to The Scottish Therapy Academy.
We thought you might want to know a little about us before you book onto one or more of our training courses and/or services we offer here at the Glasgow Academy, so here’s a snippet about us.
Hello, my name is Angela Wood and founder of The Scottish Therapy Academy. I have been in the beauty, holistic and well-being industries for longer than I like to admit (over 20 years!).
My journey began with a deep passion for beauty and holistic wellness, where I honed my skills as a therapist and then as an educator. Over the years I have had the privilege of training and guiding hundreds of individuals, whether new to the industry or existing therapists looking to add to existing skills.
The Scottish Therapy Academy is an award-winning training academy offering accredited beauty, holistic, and massage courses in Glasgow.
We believe training should give you more than just certificates. Our students leave with:
-
Practical skills to work professionally with clients.
-
Confidence to get started straight away.
-
Support with the challenges of pricing, visibility, and putting yourself out there.
With over 20 years in the industry, we understand that building a career in therapy isn’t only about learning techniques — it’s about believing in yourself.
That’s why we’re proud to offer both expert training and personal confidence support, helping you grow a career you love.
All of our Tutors and Practitioners based here at the academy, are hand-picked and qualified to the highest of standards to deliver quality services, so rest assured you are in good hands.
Fully Accredited & Approved Professional Diplomas
Our courses are accredited by the Guild of Beauty Therapists, meaning you can train with confidence knowing your qualification is recognised and insurable.
This industry continues to grow, and there has never been a better time to step into a career in beauty and holistic therapies. Whether you’re looking for a complete career change or a new income stream, we provide the skills and support to help you get there.
Build a Career That Works for You
One of the biggest benefits of this industry is flexibility.
You might choose to:
- work from home
- offer mobile treatments
- open your own salon
- or specialise in a therapy you’re passionate about
There isn’t one path — and that’s exactly the point.
We don’t just teach you the treatment. We help you understand how to turn your skills into something sustainable, so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
New and Experienced Therapists Welcome
Whether you’re completely new or already qualified and looking to expand your services, our courses are designed to meet you where you are.
You’ll leave not only with a recognised qualification, but with the confidence to take action — whether that’s starting your business, growing your client base, or simply taking the next step.
