Becky Tyler
Founder & Director of BTST Academy
“Being a therapist is one of the most rewarding careers you can choose. In fact, I call it a vocation because it is so much more than just a job. Every day, you have the opportunity to help people reduce pain, move better, and improve their quality of life. Because of this, the role is incredibly fulfilling. Not everyone can honestly say they love what they do. Therefore, I feel very fortunate to truly say that I love my job.
At the same time, working as a manual therapist means you are always learning. The human body is both fascinating and complex. As a result, anatomy and physiology continue to challenge and surprise you every single day. In addition, no two patients are ever the same, which is another reason why I enjoy this profession so much.
Furthermore, being able to support and educate therapists throughout their own professional journey is a real privilege. Not only do you help people directly through treatment, but you also help shape the next generation of therapists.”

BTST Tutor & Assessor
Clare Sargent
Having a passion for the workings of the human body, health and fitness I have built up my knowledge and expertise since I was 19, learning both massaging techniques and becoming a qualified personal trainer.
After living abroad for a few years I decided to get back in the massaging business and undertook my Level 3 Sports Massage qualification at our very own BTST Academy with Becky Tyler. I loved it so much I went on to do the Level 4, and now assess our new students that come through the academy to complete their Level 3 qualification.
As well as massaging I offer Personal Training and teach some of the amazing classes here at BTST. Health and fitness is my passion, having completed marathons, half marathons and triathlons, so I practice what I preach!
But for me its all about getting that work-life balance right, and making sure I enjoy plenty of holidays, time with family and friends and ensure I’m looking after myself with regular massage treatments and eating right (well most of the time!).
