About the Tutors

Sam Quinton has been a practising massage therapist for over 25 years and has been training massage therapists for the past six years. She is a clinic owner and Massage Training Institute tutor, Teaching MTI Level 4 Diploma in Holistic Massage at Inner Space in the heart of Norwich. 

Sam believes that good massage is about far more than leaning techniques. It is about learning to listen-to the person, to the body and to what you feel beneath your hands. 

Alongside teaching, Sam continues to work as a practising therapists and runs a busy multidisciplinary therapy clinic in Norwich. Her years of clinical experience bring real-life learning into the classroom, encouraging students to be curious, thoughtful and adaptable and to understand why they are choosing a particular approach for each individual client. 

Sam is passionate about creating a supportive, inclusive learning environment where students can ask questions, practise, make mistakes and develop confidence in their own hands. Her teaching combines anatomy and physiology, practical massage skills, body awareness, communication and professional practice with the holistic principles at the heart of the MTI approach. 

For Sam, qualifying is only the beginning. She wants her students to leave their training with the knowledge and confidence to believe in themselves as therapists, while knowing that they remain part of a supportive professional community as their careers develop. 

“I want my students to leave with the knowledge and confidence to trust themselves as therapists, but I also want them to know that my support doesn’t end when the course does. I’m still here as they grow, develop and find their own way in this profession.”
