IHM
Indian Head Massage

A full massage routine for Indian head massage or Shiro Abhyanga over two days. Fully accredited by CMA. With student and full membership available to my students. I love teaching this course and the routine is a full traditional hour long massage routine for shoulders, arms, neck, scalp and face. Lots of good information on Ayurvedic diagnosis and oils. Information on balancing the three humours or Doshas. Learning about how to fight disease according to Ayurvedic laws of balance. This traditional sequence is taught dry and with traditional Ayurvedic oils. Vata, Pitta and Kapha elements are harmonised. The fees are inclusive of all training materials and case studies plus certificates on completion.

THE FULL BODY
Ayurvedic Full Body Massage

In this traditional and very in depth look at Ayurveda and its amazing benefits to our health we learn a full traditional Ayurvedic routine ... applied with love from the Indian ways of approaching wellbeing. It is a wonderful time out for the mind and invigorates the body and calms at the same time. It has many benefits .... but as its principle effects follow ....it is to rid the body of sluggish toxins and remove blockages in our energetic pathways ....restoring equilibrium to body and mind. Specific oils for each Dosha and a basic guided knowledge of the whole Ayurvedic concept. This includes learning about the Tridosha and 3 Doshas in Ayurveda and how to diagnose a Dosha in each individual in order to use the correct oil to re-balance the system and enhance the effects of the treatment itself.  It is followed up by 4 case studies to gain certification to practice. No prior massage experience is necessary .... just the right intention! I have studied in India since 2004 ... I have also completed a 3 year programme working with Ayurvedic doctors and scientists at the Kaivalyadhama research Institute in India, on a Yoga Therapy Degree..... and have been with my teacher for the past 14 years.  This is something that I am passionate about ..... I run only one course per year as I lecture full time and have other commitments ,but when I do run the course I love to embrace all aspects of the traditional Ayurvedic lifestyle and its many wonderful theories ...... it has changed my life and I hope it changes yours too.

Sports/Remedial Massage
This course will teach you about some important factors to consider around healing and injury cycle including timescales for repair.  The techniques or skills learned in the course include testing for Range of Movement in joints, postural issues and correction, myofascial release and how to release holding patterns, trigger point therapy, specialist massage techniques to quick release tension, Soft tissue release (STR's), Muscle energetic techniques (MET's), referral process, treating scar tissue, corrective exercises, structure of joints, muscle tissue and ligaments, diseases of the skeletal system and muscular system.  The course is longer due to the nature of building up these skill sets.  It is for people who are confident with touch / massage/ hands on treatments. 5 case studies will follow this course and an assessment at the end of the case studies.  Usually in 2 months post course dates, to ensure enough time to complete record cards and treatments.
Pre-natal Massage
In this course understanding the changes happening in the body, what hormones are influencing, where posture is compromised and positioning is crucial to an effective and comfortable massage.  The routine is fluid and addresses areas that become stressed, tight, painful and restricted.  We learn how to easily cover the full body routine with minimum disruption to the client.  We learn how not to invade private space and retain modesty and comfort.  How to support and bolster the body.  Learn a beautiful routine which is comforting, stress relieving and deeply relaxing for the mother to be and her child.  Bliss is key to relaxing in this training.  I love it so much I sometimes use it on regular clients too!
