HS1: 'Hot Stone Massage'

This is one of our 'Guest' courses, written and presented by Anita James. Anita is a multi-talented practitioner having qualifications in Aromatherapy, Reiki, Indian Head-Massage and Hopi Ear-Candling to name but a few.

This popular treatment originated in the U.S.A. It involves the use of hot and cold stones placed on the body and also used to massage the body. It brings together the use of opposites to create balance: hot and cold, marble and basalt, relaxing and reviving.

Students must be practising Therapists and have an A & P certificate.

Many Associations accept our Courses for CPD including the IFPA (12 Category A Points) & CThA Post-graduate Qualification (10 CPD credits).

There will be a short written exam and a case-history requirement before Certificates of Assessment are awarded. If you only require a Certificate of Attendance please let us know.

This comprehensive 2-day course will include:

* The history of 'Hot stones' and associated folklore

* Meridians, Acupressure-points & Chi energy

* Benefits of treatment

* Contra-indications of treatment

* Selecting & Caring for the stones

* Using carriers & essential oils (Aromatherapists only) with the stones

* The use of cold stones in the treatment

* Practical work with the stones

* Giving & Receiving Hot Stone Massage

Comments from past Students:

'I would just like to say that in November I went on the Hot Stone Massage course, by Anita James. I thoroughly enjoyed learning a new technique and purchasing my special stones. I have gone on to pass my theory and just have a little more work to submit for my Case Studies. I would encourage anyone who is considering this course to go ahead. I have used the stones in a variety of ways and find them quite versatile.'

'Demonstrations were easy to follow and I liked the course notes - they were clear and concise. The Tutor knows her subject and puts it across very well. Very practical advice given.'

'Very good, professional, moves you to the next level.'

'The Tutor was excellent, knowledgeable, funny and very informative. I feel that I can now take the information and use it immediately. So much knowledge! Great. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Much more information than I was expecting.'

'Well presented course. Anita gave loads of useful information. She had stones that we could purchase so we can start straight away. Thoroughly enjoyed everything about the course.'

'Anita is an excellent Tutor, all subjects explained well in detail. Questions readily answered with confidence and ability to explain in a manner easily understood. Course well structured and flowing in a logical manner. Plenty of balance between theory and practical. A well organised and informative course, learnt lots and am looking forward to introducing treatments to my clients.'

'I feel that the course has met all my needs to go ahead and add Hot Stone Therapy to my repertoire with real confidence.'

Studies normally commence at 10.00 a.m. and finish at 5.00 p.m.
