Professional Training Course: Content
Our aim is to lay a strong foundation in the principles and practice of holistic massage, to a high professional standard. We also aim to have fun! Students will be empowered with strategies for exploring their fascination with the human body.
By investigating the 4 principles of awareness, touch, rapport and movement, we can make discoveries and develop our own massage style. This living, vibrant style of massage practice and theory will include:
- Detailed massage techniques for the whole body;
- Stretches and mobilisations;
- Body image and body reading;
- Subtle energy, including the aura and chakras;
- Professionalism, ethics and first aid;
- Client handling, practice management and business skills.
Other features special to this course are:
- Grounding, meditation and self-awareness work.
- Students' personal development throughout the course.
- Emphasis on students' own body use, enabling us to develop safe, dynamic and rhythmical expression at the massage table.
- Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology taught in a practical, hands-on way and always closely related to massage practice.
- Three sessions of supervised clinical experience.
- Appointed Person's Course in First Aid.
- Close supervision and support throughout the course. Maximum group size is 24 with two assistants alongside the Course Tutor.
