Courses are held in Gerrards Cross, Brighton and London

The massage is performed fully clothed although access to your shoulders should be given if you wish to receive the full massage sequence. It is executed on the upper back where tension often settles, the shoulders, back of the neck, arms, scalp and face.

A free DVD/Video of our Indian head massage sequence is included in this course. As far as I know, we are the only school to provide this invaluable facility. With this DVD/Video, you will be able to view the strokes again and again and will never forget them.

At the end of this course, you should feel thoroughly relaxed and will probably sleep extremely well.

Course content - 2 days :

Remember that this course is backed up by a FREE DVD/ Video of the whole sequence. This is unique and ensures that you never forget what you have learnt.

Recognition

Our own school Diploma will be issued at the end of this course.

This diploma is currently recognised by I.P.T.I. (Independent Professional Therapists International) and BABTAC (British Association of Beauty Therapy & Cosmetology Ltd).

I.P.T.I. is a United Kingdom based organisation formed to serve the needs of aestheticians, alternative and complementary therapists throughout the world. They cover a large range of therapies. Their membership is open to all therapists holding national or state recognised qualifications such as the one offered in this course.

BABTAC is one of the largest qualifying bodies in the UK. See BABTAC's letter of recognition here.

Provided you already hold a recognised qualification in Anatomy & Physiology & Body Massage, BABTAC will accept you under their Public Liability Insurance cover. You will be able to display BABTAC after your name if you join this association.

Insurance

If you are already qualified in A&P and Massage, your existing insurance should be able to add Indian Head Massage to your contract with our diploma. Check with them this is so. It makes sense, if you are already qualified and insured to massage, then you can obviously massage arms, face, scalp and neck. Which is what Indian Head Massage is about.

If you are qualified in A&P but not in body massage, items 1, 3 and 4 below will apply to you.

If you are not already qualified in any therapy, there still is hope:

  1. You will need to attend our 2 day Indian Head Massage (IHM) course
  2. You will need to study our Internet correspondence course in Anatomy & Physiology (A&P). Don't worry, there is no nasty examination at the end, just constant monitoring and you can work at your own pace. You may attend the A&P course before, after or at the same time as attending our Indian Head Massage course. Most people start the A&P course and attend the IHM at some time during their A&P studies.
  3. Submit 6 case histories (this is fully explained during the course)
  4. and demonstrate your massage to us to receive your full diploma and get insurance. £45 will be charged for the examination. 

with the above, our insurers will cover you so you can legally practice in this country.
