Maid in the Meadow reviews

Manal reviewed: 1-to-1 Organic Skincare Workshop at Maid in the Meadow £125.00

"The course with Alison is absolutely full of learning and information. I really learnt a lot. One day was not enough. If you want to learn about skin care from an experienced formulator and all the health and safety of making skin care products, you are at the right place. Alison was also very kind and a listener. She doesn’t only provide recipes that you can find anywhere online, in-fact she teaches you how to formulate and come up with any product you have in mind. She is an encyclopedia of handmade skin care products. She is fun to work with and a great host as well. I highly recommend Alison for a skin care workshop."

Maid in the Meadow responded:

" Thank you for your lovely review and recommendation. It was so nice to meet you and I'm glad you had fun and enjoyed your day making your bespoke skincare products in my workshop. I hope you feel inspired now, to go on and create more products in the future with the skills you have learned. If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to contact me. Kind regards Allison"

Rachel S reviewed: 1-to-1 Organic Skincare Workshop at Maid in the Meadow £125.00

"Allison was very welcoming and friendly. She went into depth with information on the oils, waxes, butters, essential oils etc. She listened to my preferences and tailored her recipes accordingly. She kept the processes simple and straightforward to enable me to produce my own products in the future. We ran over time but continued so to make all 4 products. I left with the 4 products listed plus a couple more goodies and a handbook for future reference. I would highly recommend Allison and this workshop if you are looking to make luxurious, natural products for yourself or family."

Maid in the Meadow responded:

" Thank you so much for your lovely review Rachel. It was a pleasure to meet you and I'm glad you enjoyed your day in my workshop and hope you enjoy the beautiful products you made. It was definitely a challenge keeping cool in the workshop with the weather temperature 🥵 Do let me know how you get on with all of your products and if there is anything you're unsure of from the day or any information you would like please don't hesitate to contact me. Allison 💚 🐝"

"The day spent with Allison at Maid in the Meadow was so pleasant and I highly recommend. I learned about organic formulations- from facial oils, balms and face creams. I have wanted to learn to make skin care products and this course jump started me and gave me confidence to continue and try new things too. Allison is flexible and tailored the day for me. She is very knowledgeable and made sure I understood the why behind the how. The setting is in her lovely workshop surrounded by wonderful flowers and greenery. This is a great day with friends, family or just by yourself."

Maid in the Meadow responded:

" Thank you so much for your lovely review and recommendation Patricia. It was a pleasure to spend the day with you. I'm so glad you enjoyed your day in my workshop and I hope you and your husband are enjoying the products you made.

Elaine reviewed: Mother and Daughter Special One Day Workshop £75.00 p.p.

"My daughters and I had an absolutely fantastic time. Only three years later than my first enquiry, covid! Allison is a lovely friendly lady and was patient with us, me especially. We made some lovely products which I can assure you are in full use. We even got to meet one of their beautiful dogs, (by our choice) I fully recommend this course, only downside is it goes too quickly. Thank you Allison hope to see you soon. "

Maid in the Meadow responded:

" Hi Elaine, Thank you for your lovely review and I'm so glad you enjoyed yourselves and are loving the products you made. It was a pleasure to spend the day with you all especially after the 3 year wait 🙂 See you soon!"

"I am 11 and my mum booked me and her to go together...Allison gave us lots of advice and a hand book where there is lots of information about skin card making . Allison made the class safe for my age group. I would really recommend her courses they really helped ."

Maid in the Meadow responded:

" Hi Heather, I'm so please you enjoyed your Mother and Daughter workshop and thank you for sending me the picture of your latest lotion bar creation, it looks fab! it was fun, spending the day with you and your Mum and I was impressed by the knowledge you have already acquired and your creativity. I hope the workshop inspires you to create more beautiful products. ⭐️ "

Margaret Gwyer reviewed: Mother and Daughter Special One Day Workshop £75.00 p.p.

"A fabulous day with my 11 year old learning about how to create a range of products. A great mix of hands-on making, discussion and testing out Allison's lovely products. It was a really special day and as I write this my daughter is making products. It has really inspired her (and me)! I would absolutely recommend the workshop. While it is an expensive day, we made a full range of products (Allison tailored this for us) and got a wealth of information so it was well worth it!!"

Maid in the Meadow responded:

" Hi Margaret, Thank you for your lovely review and I'm so happy you both had such a special day with your daughter. It was a fun day with you both and I'm thrilled that your daughter and you have been so inspired. I was impressed by her passion for natural skincare and I'm sure she will go on to be a young, successful entrepeneur ❤️"

Caitlin Avery reviewed: 1-to-1 Organic Skincare Workshop at Maid in the Meadow £125.00

"I’m giddy with excitement following my 1-day course with Allison. A whole new world has been unlocked. Allison generously imparted so much wisdom and guidance which has left me feeling brave enough to give it a try in my own kitchen. But putting the gift of knowledge to one side, can I just talk about gift of handmade products… I mean wowza… I came away with some really lovely facial creams and potions. They feel great on my skin and smell so good. Anyway in short, I loved it and can’t wait to kick start my new hobby. Oh gosh, and I must mention… what a lot of fun. So many laughs and enjoyable moments. Thank you Allison! "

Maid in the Meadow responded:

" Thank you for your enthusiastic review Caitlin and I'm so glad you enjoyed your day, It was a pleasure to spend the day with you. Your energy and positive outlook was so refreshing and I'm still smiling just thinking about it. I do hope you enjoy using your gorgeous products and try some more of the formulae in the handbook. Looking forward to seeing you in future to make some body care products. Best wishes, Allison"

Becky Wilson reviewed: 1-to-1 Organic Skincare Workshop at Maid in the Meadow £125.00

"I highly recommend this course with Allison. I love her vision and ethos which aligns with my own in relation to skincare. She is exceedingly knowledgeable and went above and beyond in every way, from listening to the purpose of me doing the course and sourcing additional items to help tailor it according to my reason. Allison is very welcoming; we had a right giggle! Her after course care is fab, where you can ask any question as and when required. It's a 5 out of 5 from me!"

Maid in the Meadow responded:

" Thank you so much for your lovely review and recommendation Becky and I'm so glad you enjoyed your day in the workshop. It was a fun and productive day and I'm really looking forward to seeing you develop your sustainable skincare concept further in the future - Good Luck!"

Julie Parsons reviewed: 1-to-1 Organic Skincare Workshop at Maid in the Meadow £125.00

"I spent an awesome day with the lovely friendly Alison learning how to make skincare products. There was so much to take in but Alison was so patient with me, keeping the pace to match my need. I got to make facial oil, toner, cleansing balm and moisturiser. Since doing the course I have really enjoyed using what I made, my skin is positively blooming. I cherished having ‘me’ time outside of my usual hectic schedule. I thoroughly recommend doing this course. I will certainly be back when my products run out. Award 5***** ❤️"

Maid in the Meadow responded:

" Thank you for your lovely review Julie. I am so pleased you enjoyed your "me time" in the workshop and that you're enjoying using your products. I look forward to your next visit and in the meantime if you have any questions regarding your products please dont hesitate to contact me."

Shabana. reviewed: 1-to-1 Organic Skincare Workshop at Maid in the Meadow £125.00

"I had a lovely day at the skincare work shop, there was a lot of information to take in at that time, but slowly I am processing it in. I liked making lip balm, lotion, face oil, especially the rose toner I made it smells really lovely. Everything was explained to me. Allison is very knowledgeable and she was very helpful to me. I just wish she was near to where I am in Birmingham. The workshop has given me lots of ideas. I plan to visit the workshop again in the near future."

Maid in the Meadow responded:

" Shabana, thank you for your lovely review and I'm so glad you enjoyed your day and the products you made and are feeling inspired. I'm looking forward to welcoming you back to the workshop and please don't hesitate to email me if you have any questions."

Luka reviewed: 1-to-1 Organic Skincare Workshop at Maid in the Meadow £125.00

"I had such a fantastic day with Allison. The setting is picturesque, I felt so relaxed and at home in her fantastic workshop. Allison has an extensive knowledge which she conveys really well. I have already ordered everything I will need to begin making my own products and can’t wait to put my skills to use. Thank you Allison!"

Maid in the Meadow responded:

" Thank you so much for the lovely review Luka. I’m so pleased you enjoyed your day in my workshop. It was a pleasure to meet you and be a part of your journey. I look forward to hearing about your new product creations as I know they will be a great success. Best wishes for the future."

Judy reviewed: 1-to-1 Organic Skincare Workshop at Maid in the Meadow £125.00

"I had an excellent day with Allison - she is really well versed in the technical side of making your own cosmetics but she made it very easy to understand. We had a lovely day and I would recommend the experience to any one with an interest in the subject or just wanting an interesting day out. I have a specific interest in re-creating a product that is no longer available and although it was not part of the course Allison has done a lot of research into what I might need and how to go about replicating it. Thank you so much."

Maid in the Meadow responded:

" Thank you so much for your review Judy and I'm so pleased you enjoyed you day in the workshop, it was definitely a fun day. I do hope you enjoy using the range of products you made and look forward to hearing from you when your own formulating project is complete. Best wishes for the future"

Julie reviewed: 1-to-1 Organic Skincare Workshop at Maid in the Meadow £125.00

"Spent a very enjoyable day learning all about oils, actives and preservatives. Made amazing products to take home together with a comprehensive workbook so I can continue this exciting craft. There’s nothing better than making my own cleansers, balms, creams/lotions and facial oils, knowing exactly what’s gone in them, tailored to what my skin needs. Allison is extremely knowledgeable and passionate in the subject which makes the experience first class."

Sarah reviewed: 1-to-1 Organic Skincare Workshop at Maid in the Meadow £125.00

"The day spent with Allison was most enjoyable. It was a full day covering all aspects of making skincare products. She is very knowledgeable and is happy to share that knowledge in an easy to understand way which allowed me to make not only a facial oil but also a balm, moisturiser and toner. A one to one experience not to be missed. Thank you Allison for a great day."

Maid in the Meadow responded:

" Hi Sarah, Thank you for your lovely review and I'm so glad you enjoyed your day in the workshop with me. I'm looking forward to seeing you again and if there is anything you're unsure of in the handbook or regarding the products you made on the day, please dont hesitate to contact me."

Karen Arrand reviewed: 1-to-1 Organic Skincare Workshop at Maid in the Meadow £125.00

"This is a wonderful experience for anyone wanting to know more about organic skincare and you come away with a bespoke facial products that look and smell absolutely divine. Allison is a passionate and resourceful teacher, who has a wonderful store cupboard full of the most amazing ingredients. Any question you throw at her, she can answer! The 1to1 teaching is so beneficial, Allison boosts your confidence and guides you step-by-step through the product making process. I am so pleased with my products, I keep looking at them with great pride! Thank you for a wonderful day and your patience and kindness."

Maid in the Meadow responded:

" Thank you so much for your lovely review Karen. I'm pleased you're so happy with the products you made and enjoyed your day here with me in my workshop and I'm sure you will go on to make many more products.

Claire reviewed: 1-to-1 Organic Skincare Workshop at Maid in the Meadow £125.00

"Allison is generous with her vast knowledge, (which somehow she distilled into informative bite size chunks),....her time and her friendship. She goes above and beyond to make the day special for you, even staying in touch to help you get even more from the day. The products she helps you to make are really lovely, feeling all the more special for having made them. If Allison sold a starter kit, I would have definitely bought it from her, although she provides all her trusted suppliers......you everything you need to know to get started. Thank you for a wonderful day and the knowledge to make some great skincare products."

Maid in the Meadow responded:

" Thank you for your lovely review Claire. I’m so glad you enjoyed your day in the workshop and love the products you made. It was a fun day! A starter kit is a great idea and i will definitely consider your idea going forward. Best wishes, Allison"

Debbie Williams reviewed: 1-to-1 Organic Skincare Workshop at Maid in the Meadow £125.00

"An extremely enjoyable day spent with Allison learning how to make organic skincare products. She is such a natural teacher with a great passion for her subject that she imparts freely in a friendly and relaxed way. The products made are lovely on my skin. She even helped me make products for my daughter, which was so kind of her. She goes out of her way to make the day enjoyable and you come away with so much information and a will to carry on making the products for yourself. I learnt so much and it felt like spending the day with a friend."

Maid in the Meadow responded:

" Thank you Debbie for your lovely review. I’m so glad you enjoyed your day and are enjoying using the products you made for yourself and I’m sure your daughter will love the products you made for her too. Its exciting that you feel inspired to continue to make products for yourself in the future and you’re very welcome to visit the workshop next time your in Norfolk. Best wishes for the future. Allison"

"Really enjoyed this course, Alison is so knowledgable and is very generous in sharing it. Made some lovely skin products and am hoping to do another course with her in the future."

Maid in the Meadow responded:

Stephanie reviewed: 1-to-1 Organic Skincare Workshop at Maid in the Meadow £125.00

"My partner and I completed a course with Alison back in February to gain a better understanding on how to make cosmetic products for launching our own business venture. From the moment of enquiry Alison was brilliant. We had a lot of communication prior the course as Alison wanted to get an understanding of what we wanted to gain from the course so she could tailor it more to our requirements. The course was fantastic, we first had a theory lesson to get a good understanding of formulas and essential oils. There is a lot to take in but Alison is extremely well prepared and her knowledge is second to none and she is excellent at passing on her knowledge while keeping the course both interesting and fun. The second part of the day we did the practical side of things and made many lotions and potions. The products that we made were excellent and became my only skin care as they were so good! The day flew by and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I can't imagine a better teacher than Alison so if you're wondering whether or not to book this course, my advice is to stop thinking about it and book it! You will not regret it! Brilliant."

Carolyn reviewed: 1-to-1 Organic Skincare Workshop at Maid in the Meadow £125.00

"I enjoyed my day with Alison. The morning is a lot of information - there is science and maths and these are not my strong points! I was really pleased with the products that I made in the afternoon. I think that Alison 'misses a trick' - she should have some products for people to buy. I would have brought a few more! I am hoping that one day we will laugh about us wearing masks and gloves but that doesn't seem likely at the moment - I see on her website that she has decided to close for a couple of months, so please book for later in the year!"

Maria Clancy reviewed: 1-to-1 Organic Skincare Workshop at Maid in the Meadow £125.00

"What a fantastic, fun filled day my friend and I had with Allison making lotions and potions. Allison was friendly, accommodating and shared her knowledge of making homemade beauty products. The workshop was very well stocked and we were able to choose the types of skincare products to suit our skin. The ingredients were of high quality and after using them at home, I must say my skin feels lovely. I will definitely be making my own at home with the help of a very informative handbook Allison gave us. We absolutely loved the day and have recommended to friends who may be interested in making their own skincare products."

Jodie reviewed: 1-to-1 Organic Skincare Workshop at Maid in the Meadow £125.00

"I had a wonderful day at the weekend with Allison. I enjoyed learning how to make my own skincare products. Allison is a lovely lady, who is happy to share her wealth of knowledge in this area. Its like science meets cooking! Great fun! I would recommend to anyone."

Sarah Lewis reviewed: 1-to-1 Organic Skincare Workshop at Maid in the Meadow £125.00

"I attended a full day workshop with Allison in August. What an incredibly inspiring day it was. I left feeling so excited about the possibilities and this was all down to Allison’s passion and enthusiasm for sharing her knowledge. It was the most beautiful setting, I instantly felt relaxed and Allison put me at ease instantly with her warmth and interest. I felt like I’d had a day with a good friend. I learnt recipes ranging from instant, easily replicable ones to slightly more challenging ones. All the results were exceptional and I got to make products that smell exactly to my taste. Allison even gave me so many more recipes to go and try at home. I’d recommend this course to anyone thinking about trying to reduce and reuse their packaging, wanting cheaper alternatives to products on the market, anyone wanting to make gorgeous, usable gifts for friends and family, or anyone simply wanting to have a lovely, inspiring day with great company."
