Diploma in Indian Head Massage

Validated by Complementary Therapists Association

20 CPD points

This 3 day course is a post graduate course and is designed for those already qualified, or working towards a therapy qualification (eg reflexology, massage, etc).  The practical exam is taken on the third day after we have spent time spent perfecting the routine and gaining confidence that same day.

Free DVD of the treatment will be given to you so that you can practice in between the classes (and afterwards) with complete confidence.

Indian Head Massage is a wonderfully relaxing and enjoyable treatment that releases muscular and nervous tension and stimulates the circulation.

It is a seated massage, usually done, fully clothed and begins on the upper back, following on to the shoulders, upper arms, neck, head and finishes with a beautiful face massage.

This massage is simple yet very effective and ideal for clients who don’t like to undress or don’t like to show their feet!  Clients can’t believe how effective it is and it combines really well with other treatments you may offer.  The treatment can last any time from 20 minutes to 45 minutes using a variety of movements.

Course manual provided, along with freevideo footage of the treatment demonstrated by the tutor.
