Who does not enjoy a nice pampering facial?!

In the days when the phrase ‘skin food’ is commonly used to promote ‘natural’ skincare products we might question why a good facial is difficult to find – they are usually full of synthetic ingredients and come with a hefty price tag.

Have you ever panicked when your favourite face mask run out and you forgot to buy a new jar? Have you ever thought about using kitchen staples instead but were not sure what to use and how? Are you always looking for the 100% natural or organic skin care products? If so, this workshop is for you!

Lymphatic massage is a light delicate form of massage that stimulates the body’s lymphatic system, thus improving the metabolism, assisting the body to eliminate waste and toxins and providing a boost to the immune system.

The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in the body`s ability to heal from injury and ward off disease. It is essential to the body`s drainage system for cleansing and filtering out toxins and bacteria.

As massage therapists we are working constantly on the lymphatic system but how many therapists truly understand the effects of our actions? By adapting our techniques and understanding the lymphatic system and lymphatic massage we are therefore, able to transform our treatments.

This is very much a hands-on day therefore allowing sufficient time to practice and perform the techniques under the guidance of the tutor. During the course, you will partner up with another therapist and will get the chance to perform the techniques taught as well as being the recipient. This is because understanding what the technique should feel like is an invaluable tool for you as a therapist.
