REVIEWS
What students say about my courses
Nothing means more to me than hearing what someone actually took away from a course — here are a few of those stories, in their own words.
DEER SKIN TANNING COURSE
"A week I'll never forget and skills I'll be attempting to put into practice in the future, learnt from a brilliant and seriously energetic teacher who shows true passion for her craft. I've never laughed so much whilst learning. Hopefully, one day I'll be lucky enough to join you on another course."
Kieran Worland - 2025
COYOTE FUR TANNING COURSE
"Theresa’s course is not only a hands on step by step “how to” she brings her vast knowledge of the subject and explains not only scientifically as to why steps are done at certain times, but breaks it down so that even the novice can grasp the concepts. It is always a great learning experience taking her courses, plus it brings together varied individuals who share common interests."
Oxyatl - 2025
USING THE WHOLE ANIMAL COURSE
"Not only was the Doctor incredibly intelligent, but also entertaining, mixing her knowledge of science and humor to create an epic weekend. Just incredible. Highly recommend a course with this legend!"
