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

"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."

"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:

"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."

"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

"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:

"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."

"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!"

"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."

"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

"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."

"My Mum and I had such a lovely time with Allison. The course is set in her beautiful garden in Norfolk. The day is full of information and we went away having made lots of different types of products and I feel confident I will be able to make them again. Allison is a great teacher and her soul is full of energy. A perfect present for my mum, Thank you so much."

"I had the most amazing informative day with Alison. A warm welcome and a very exciting day making wonderful products. I have been left feeling very confident in my abilities to recreate them in. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this course to anyone. It was brilliant."

Ceara Mongan reviewed: 1-1 organic skincare workshops in Norfolk

"I really cannot recommend Allison's workshops enough!!! I have attended two different cosmetics workshops in the Norfolk area, and this course by far was hands down the best!!! You really couldn't even compare the two!!! Alison has so much passion and knowledge to give, and provides in depth cosmetics knowledge, both in the area of ingredients and the business side. She continues to fully support me to this day, which is such a beautiful thing for her to do!!! I came away with lip balms, facial oils, lotions and toners, and had beautiful goodies to hand out to my whole family! Which were all thoroughly loved. Looking forward to seeing Allison again!"

Kate Woods reviewed: 1-to-1 Organic Skincare Workshop at Maid in the Meadow

"I had a fantastic day not only learning about the different elements of skincare but actually being able to make products to take away and use! I was the only delegate attending so had undivided attention from Allison who was a great teacher, very friendly and extremely attentive and patient - I would thoroughly recommend the workshop! Many thanks"

"I thoughly enjoyed my day with with Alison, we had such a fun day and she is so knowledgeable regarding cosmetics!!! The products made on the day were so amazing, and I feel totally inspired to continue learning and make great healthy home made products. I will definitely attend more workshops with Alison, and recommend her excellent teaching skills to anyone looking for a superb knowledgeable teacher."

Caroline Channing reviewed: 1-to-1 Organic Skincare Workshop at Maid in the Meadow

"We recently booked Alison of Maid in the Meadow to provide a lip balm making workshop at our local village hall for a group of 14 ladies. We all had a wonderful time, learned lots about natural skin care products, and went home with some lovely handmade lip balms and facial oils. Alison went above and beyond in terms of the amount of effort she put into making this a thoroughly enjoyable, informative and entertaining morning for us all. In fact, we had such a great time that we have already booked Alison to come back and teach us how to make more products to give to friends and family as Christmas presents!"

Maid in the Meadow responded:

"Thank you for the lovely review Caroline and also for the very warm welcome I received from all the ladies who attended the workshop. I’m really looking forward to my return visit later in the year."

"We went as a group of friends and had an excellent day. It was fun and informative. Allison is very knowledgable and keen we knew the background to the ingredients. We had lots of hands on time to enjoye the process of making a variety of organic products. We were thrilled to have a variety of lovely balms, oils, creams and toners we had made to take home with us. Thoroughly recommended."

"On arrival Alison was already there to greet me at the station which was a great welcome. I was lucky to have a one-to-one with her for the Organic skincare workshop. Learnt lot's of new information to help me with making new organic products. Alison was very informative and helped boost my confidence in making products myself. Thanks Alison."

Caroline Hansford reviewed: 1-to-1 Organic Skincare Workshop at Maid in the Meadow

"This workshop exceeded my expectations! I love 'playing' with essential oils, evocative scents and this gave the opportunity to combine that with producing useful cosmetics with an expert and the good company of friends. Our small group (3) meant we could get individual expert input and involvement with all aspects of the processes. I would like to have got 'hands on' a little sooner, but plenty was achieved and I've come home with lots of useful products that smell gorgeous too! The surroundings and company helped make it a very enjoyable and worthwhile day...much recommended."

Mary Blackie reviewed: 1-to-1 Organic Skincare Workshop at Maid in the Meadow

"The course content was interesting and very informative. Our learning covered many aspects of health and safety over the course of the day. We all LOVED learning to make the creams, and understanding fully the processes involved. Having already made some basic creams/ointments myself at home, this has given me the knowledge and confidence to make more 'advanced' products by myself. The course was excellent value, both with regard to the learning on the day, the course materials we each brought home, and the products we each brought home. ALL products are EXCELLENT on skin, particularly mine as I have psoriasis and sensitive skin generally. I booked the day with 2 other friends and having such a small group meant that we had intensive support from Allison, who certainly 'knows her stuff' and is happy to discuss all or any aspects of natural beauty and healthcare. BRILLIANT day of learning in a positive, supportive and fun environment. THANK YOU ALLISON!"

"I had a brilliant time. The tutor was friendly and extremely knowledgeable - I could have spent a couple of days with Alison because she was so interesting and there was so much to learn. The information pack you get to take home with you was really informative and packed with recipes for you to try out later. I was delighted with the products I made and it has given me the confidence to try making skincare products at home. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who has an interest in making their own beauty products and the great thing is you don't need any prior experience."
