Attending this Reflexology Diploma course and becoming a professional reflexologist  is an exciting, fun, and rewarding challenge. One in which you will experience life changing personal growth while creating a great career for yourself helping and caring for others.

 

Reflexology is an ancient form of holistic treatment, with a long history encompassing Ancient Egypt, Japan, China and India. It is a science which deals with the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands which correspond to all of the glands, organs and parts of the body. A reflexology treatment involves deep pressure massage on the soles of the feet, which stimulate the nerves in the feet and influences the whole body. Stimulating these reflexes properly can help many health problems in a natural way, a type of preventative maintenance. As well as being deeply relaxing, it also improves the circulation and encourages the elimination of toxins and waste products. Reflexology like many other complementary therapies has increased in popularity over the past few years, and has now gained respect as an important, safe and natural healing art.

 

Training in Reflexology can lead to a wonderful new career. As a practitioner of Reflexology you will be able to work in hospitals, nursing homes, hospices, sports centres, gyms, natural health centres or even on luxury cruise liners! Alternatively, you may choose to branch out independently by working from home or visiting clients in their own homes. Over 2 million people visit a reflexologist in the UK each year. Opportunities for well qualified, skilled reflexologists are increasing at a rapid rate. Although the traditional route of self employment is still the most popular route, more and more reflexologists are finding part and full-time employment within clinics or corporations.

Benefits of Massage

The world can be a stressful place. Most of us feel like we’re living at the speed of light, running here, there, and everywhere. And to top it off, because of life’s pace, a lot of us have chronic pain, tight shoulders, aching necks and tired lower backs. And we seem to get sick more than we used to.

 

As a Massage Therapist, you can help others to:

• overcome chronic pain

Massage is a healing art as well as a science. It requires a balance of academic and technical knowledge, clinical skills, manual dexterity, sensitivity, and awareness. Nearly everyone has the innate resources to touch another with care and confidence. However, it takes a sincere desire to help others, along with a commitment to the time, energy, and focus necessary for the training process in order to become a solid practitioner.

 

Now is an exciting time in the field of massage therapy, which is expanding like never before. The public’s use of massage as a healthcare option has tripled in the last decade. This in turn has caused a tremendous increase in the demand for therapists.

Aromatherapy is a healing art and science using plant derived essential oils to alleviate a wide range of physical and emotional disorders.

 

Supported by an ever-growing body of research into the incredible healing power and versatile therapeutic properties of essential oils, Aromatherapy is much more than ‘just a smell’. In fact, any physical or emotional problem might be helped in some way by cleverly selected and skilfully blended essential oils – from colds and flu, insomnia and muscular aches and pains to hormonal issues, digestive problems, pain management and skin conditions.

 

With its great success rate and versatility no wonder that Aromatherapy is well respected and widely practiced as one of the most popular complementary medicine therapies today.

---

How does an aromatherapist work?

 

After a detailed consultation and depending on the client’s needs, aromatherapy practitioner will carefully select and blend a number of essential oils and other materials in order to create an individual, safe and beneficial treatment. No pre-blended products are being used. Even though many clients may present with similar issues, aromatherapy treatment – in truly holistic way – will be different for each of them. It also allows to ensure the safety of the client.

 

The treatment usually takes form of a massage. But while it is a well-known fact that combined with massage, Aromatherapy treatment can create a haven of peace and tranquillity, it is also true (and confirmed by various studies) that it can stimulate, invigorate, help us focus, improve memory recall and even help in smoking cessation. And should massage be contraindicated or simply not ‘doable’ for whatever reason, we can still employ various other methods to help our clients anyway. In fact, there is a lot we can do without massaging them! But the power and potential of essential oils must never be underestimated. They key to successful treatment is a good knowledge of the essential oils and safe application methods.

 

At MSCM we are fortunate to have several tutors who are passionate and dedicated aromatherapists. Our MSCM Aromatherapy Diploma Course is detailed, comprehensive training that reflect this passion. Not only is it carefully designed to provide you with all the necessary skills and knowledge to practice Aromatherapy safely and effectively but also to develop the same love for the subject.

Attending this Reflexology Diploma course and becoming a professional reflexologist  is an exciting, fun, and rewarding challenge. One in which you will experience life changing personal growth while creating a great career for yourself helping and caring for others.

 

Reflexology is an ancient form of holistic treatment, with a long history encompassing Ancient Egypt, Japan, China and India. It is a science which deals with the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands which correspond to all of the glands, organs and parts of the body. A reflexology treatment involves deep pressure massage on the soles of the feet, which stimulate the nerves in the feet and influences the whole body. Stimulating these reflexes properly can help many health problems in a natural way, a type of preventative maintenance. As well as being deeply relaxing, it also improves the circulation and encourages the elimination of toxins and waste products. Reflexology like many other complementary therapies has increased in popularity over the past few years, and has now gained respect as an important, safe and natural healing art.

 

Training in Reflexology can lead to a wonderful new career. As a practitioner of Reflexology you will be able to work in hospitals, nursing homes, hospices, sports centres, gyms, natural health centres or even on luxury cruise liners! Alternatively, you may choose to branch out independently by working from home or visiting clients in their own homes. Over 2 million people visit a reflexologist in the UK each year. Opportunities for well qualified, skilled reflexologists are increasing at a rapid rate. Although the traditional route of self employment is still the most popular route, more and more reflexologists are finding part and full-time employment within clinics or corporations.

Benefits of Massage

The world can be a stressful place. Most of us feel like we’re living at the speed of light, running here, there, and everywhere. And to top it off, because of life’s pace, a lot of us have chronic pain, tight shoulders, aching necks and tired lower backs. And we seem to get sick more than we used to.

• overcome chronic pain

Massage is a healing art as well as a science. It requires a balance of academic and technical knowledge, clinical skills, manual dexterity, sensitivity, and awareness. Nearly everyone has the innate resources to touch another with care and confidence. However, it takes a sincere desire to help others, along with a commitment to the time, energy, and focus necessary for the training process in order to become a solid practitioner.

 

Now is an exciting time in the field of massage therapy, which is expanding like never before. The public’s use of massage as a healthcare option has tripled in the last decade. This in turn has caused a tremendous increase in the demand for therapists.

Attending this Reflexology Diploma course and becoming a professional reflexologist  is an exciting, fun, and rewarding challenge. One in which you will experience life changing personal growth while creating a great career for yourself helping and caring for others.

 

Reflexology is an ancient form of holistic treatment, with a long history encompassing Ancient Egypt, Japan, China and India. It is a science which deals with the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands which correspond to all of the glands, organs and parts of the body. A reflexology treatment involves deep pressure massage on the soles of the feet, which stimulate the nerves in the feet and influences the whole body. Stimulating these reflexes properly can help many health problems in a natural way, a type of preventative maintenance. As well as being deeply relaxing, it also improves the circulation and encourages the elimination of toxins and waste products. Reflexology like many other complementary therapies has increased in popularity over the past few years, and has now gained respect as an important, safe and natural healing art.

 

Training in Reflexology can lead to a wonderful new career. As a practitioner of Reflexology you will be able to work in hospitals, nursing homes, hospices, sports centres, gyms, natural health centres or even on luxury cruise liners! Alternatively, you may choose to branch out independently by working from home or visiting clients in their own homes. Over 2 million people visit a reflexologist in the UK each year. Opportunities for well qualified, skilled reflexologists are increasing at a rapid rate. Although the traditional route of self employment is still the most popular route, more and more reflexologists are finding part and full-time employment within clinics or corporations.

Aromatherapy is a healing art and science using plant derived essential oils to alleviate a wide range of physical and emotional disorders.

 

Supported by an ever-growing body of research into the incredible healing power and versatile therapeutic properties of essential oils, Aromatherapy is much more than ‘just a smell’. In fact, any physical or emotional problem might be helped in some way by cleverly selected and skilfully blended essential oils – from colds and flu, insomnia and muscular aches and pains to hormonal issues, digestive problems, pain management and skin conditions.

 

With its great success rate and versatility no wonder that Aromatherapy is well respected and widely practiced as one of the most popular complementary medicine therapies today.

---

How does an aromatherapist work?

 

After a detailed consultation and depending on the client’s needs, aromatherapy practitioner will carefully select and blend a number of essential oils and other materials in order to create an individual, safe and beneficial treatment. No pre-blended products are being used. Even though many clients may present with similar issues, aromatherapy treatment – in truly holistic way – will be different for each of them. It also allows to ensure the safety of the client.

 

The treatment usually takes form of a massage. But while it is a well-known fact that combined with massage, Aromatherapy treatment can create a haven of peace and tranquillity, it is also true (and confirmed by various studies) that it can stimulate, invigorate, help us focus, improve memory recall and even help in smoking cessation. And should massage be contraindicated or simply not ‘doable’ for whatever reason, we can still employ various other methods to help our clients anyway. In fact, there is a lot we can do without massaging them! But the power and potential of essential oils must never be underestimated. They key to successful treatment is a good knowledge of the essential oils and safe application methods.

 

At MSCM we are fortunate to have several tutors who are passionate and dedicated aromatherapists. Our MSCM Aromatherapy Diploma Course is detailed, comprehensive training that reflect this passion. Not only is it carefully designed to provide you with all the necessary skills and knowledge to practice Aromatherapy safely and effectively but also to develop the same love for the subject. This course is truly a voyage of delight and discovery from start to finish.

Now is an exciting time in the field of massage therapy, which is expanding like never before. The public’s use of massage as a healthcare option has tripled in the last decade. This in turn has caused a tremendous increase in the demand for therapists.

Attending this Reflexology Diploma course and becoming a professional reflexologist  is an exciting, fun, and rewarding challenge. One in which you will experience life changing personal growth while creating a great career for yourself helping and caring for others.

 

Reflexology is an ancient form of holistic treatment, with a long history encompassing Ancient Egypt, Japan, China and India. It is a science which deals with the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands which correspond to all of the glands, organs and parts of the body. A reflexology treatment involves deep pressure massage on the soles of the feet, which stimulate the nerves in the feet and influences the whole body. Stimulating these reflexes properly can help many health problems in a natural way, a type of preventative maintenance. As well as being deeply relaxing, it also improves the circulation and encourages the elimination of toxins and waste products. Reflexology like many other complementary therapies has increased in popularity over the past few years, and has now gained respect as an important, safe and natural healing art.

 

Training in Reflexology can lead to a wonderful new career. As a practitioner of Reflexology you will be able to work in hospitals, nursing homes, hospices, sports centres, gyms, natural health centres or even on luxury cruise liners! Alternatively, you may choose to branch out independently by working from home or visiting clients in their own homes. Over 2 million people visit a reflexologist in the UK each year. Opportunities for well qualified, skilled reflexologists are increasing at a rapid rate. Although the traditional route of self employment is still the most popular route, more and more reflexologists are finding part and full-time employment within clinics or corporations.

Benefits of Massage

The world can be a stressful place. Most of us feel like we’re living at the speed of light, running here, there, and everywhere. And to top it off, because of life’s pace, a lot of us have chronic pain, tight shoulders, aching necks and tired lower backs. And we seem to get sick more than we used to.

 

As a Massage Therapist, you can help others to:

• overcome chronic pain
• recover from injuries and illness
• reduce stress
• promote well-being and a higher quality of life
• and just plain help them feel better.

 

Massage is a healing art as well as a science. It requires a balance of academic and technical knowledge, clinical skills, manual dexterity, sensitivity, and awareness. Nearly everyone has the innate resources to touch another with care and confidence. However, it takes a sincere desire to help others, along with a commitment to the time, energy, and focus necessary for the training process in order to become a solid practitioner.

 

Now is an exciting time in the field of massage therapy, which is expanding like never before. The public’s use of massage as a healthcare option has tripled in the last decade. This in turn has caused a tremendous increase in the demand for therapists.

Aromatherapy is a healing art and science using plant derived essential oils to alleviate a wide range of physical and emotional disorders.

 

Supported by an ever-growing body of research into the incredible healing power and versatile therapeutic properties of essential oils, Aromatherapy is much more than ‘just a smell’. In fact, any physical or emotional problem might be helped in some way by cleverly selected and skilfully blended essential oils – from colds and flu, insomnia and muscular aches and pains to hormonal issues, digestive problems, pain management and skin conditions.

 

With its great success rate and versatility no wonder that Aromatherapy is well respected and widely practiced as one of the most popular complementary medicine therapies today.

How does an aromatherapist work?

 

After a detailed consultation and depending on the client’s needs, aromatherapy practitioner will carefully select and blend a number of essential oils and other materials in order to create an individual, safe and beneficial treatment. No pre-blended products are being used. Even though many clients may present with similar issues, aromatherapy treatment – in truly holistic way – will be different for each of them. It also allows to ensure the safety of the client.

 

The treatment usually takes form of a massage. But while it is a well-known fact that combined with massage, Aromatherapy treatment can create a haven of peace and tranquillity, it is also true (and confirmed by various studies) that it can stimulate, invigorate, help us focus, improve memory recall and even help in smoking cessation. And should massage be contraindicated or simply not ‘doable’ for whatever reason, we can still employ various other methods to help our clients anyway. In fact, there is a lot we can do without massaging them! But the power and potential of essential oils must never be underestimated. They key to successful treatment is a good knowledge of the essential oils and safe application methods.

 

At MSCM we are fortunate to have several tutors who are passionate and dedicated aromatherapists. Our MSCM Aromatherapy Diploma Course is detailed, comprehensive training that reflect this passion. Not only is it carefully designed to provide you with all the necessary skills and knowledge to practice Aromatherapy safely and effectively but also to develop the same love for the subject. This course is truly a voyage of delight and discovery from start to finish.

Benefits of Massage

The world can be a stressful place. Most of us feel like we’re living at the speed of light, running here, there, and everywhere. And to top it off, because of life’s pace, a lot of us have chronic pain, tight shoulders, aching necks and tired lower backs. And we seem to get sick more than we used to.

• overcome chronic pain

Nearly everyone has the innate resources to touch another with care and confidence. However, it takes a sincere desire to help others, along with a commitment to the time, energy, and focus necessary for the training process in order to become a solid practitioner.

 

Now is an exciting time in the field of massage therapy, which is expanding like never before. The public’s use of massage as a healthcare option has tripled in the last decade. This in turn has caused a tremendous increase in the demand for therapists.

Attending this Reflexology Diploma course and becoming a professional reflexologist  is an exciting, fun, and rewarding challenge. One in which you will experience life changing personal growth while creating a great career for yourself helping and caring for others.

 

Reflexology is an ancient form of holistic treatment, with a long history encompassing Ancient Egypt, Japan, China and India. It is a science which deals with the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands which correspond to all of the glands, organs and parts of the body. A reflexology treatment involves deep pressure massage on the soles of the feet, which stimulate the nerves in the feet and influences the whole body. Stimulating these reflexes properly can help many health problems in a natural way, a type of preventative maintenance. As well as being deeply relaxing, it also improves the circulation and encourages the elimination of toxins and waste products. Reflexology like many other complementary therapies has increased in popularity over the past few years, and has now gained respect as an important, safe and natural healing art.

 

Training in Reflexology can lead to a wonderful new career. As a practitioner of Reflexology you will be able to work in hospitals, nursing homes, hospices, sports centres, gyms, natural health centres or even on luxury cruise liners! Alternatively, you may choose to branch out independently by working from home or visiting clients in their own homes. Over 2 million people visit a reflexologist in the UK each year. Opportunities for well qualified, skilled reflexologists are increasing at a rapid rate. Although the traditional route of self employment is still the most popular route, more and more reflexologists are finding part and full-time employment within clinics or corporations.

Indian Head Massage is one of the most useful skills a therapist can have. Not only does it give you another string to your bow, but it is a highly portable, visually appealing and modesty preserving therapy. You can use this therapy very effectively to develop your holistic therapy practice. You can also use it as a marketing tool for demonstration purposes, as a means of breaking into the lucrative corporate market or as an enticing taster treatment for would-be clients.

 

Many people are walking around `carrying the world on their shoulders` and as a result, this is where our stress, frustration and anger accumulates, manifesting as headaches, neck pain and some believe, even hair loss!

 

Indian Head Massage works in a firm, gentle rhythm to release emotional blockages, bringing calm, and relaxation to the client. The massage goes beyond the limits of healing by dealing with the balance and uniqueness of the individual.

 

The Origins

 

Indian Head Massage, also known Champissage, is an ancient art based on a traditional system of medicine known as Ayurveda. This has been practiced in India for over three thousand years and is becoming increasingly popular in the West. The treatment incorporates shiatsu and acupressure techniques on the head, scalp, face, neck, upper back, shoulders, arms, ears and hands, helping to relax tense areas and rebalance the body energy by releasing any areas of negativity or stress. These areas incorporate important meridians` beginning and end points, and other vital nerve endings within the body and so treating the head has beneficial effects all over. You work from behind performing a sequence of flowing stroking and kneading movements. Clients will feel very relaxed during an Indian Head Massage Treatment, and it is not uncommon for people to doze off during a session.

 

Indian Head Massage is as pleasurable to give as it is to receive. This ancient art is calming, revitalizing, uplifting and incredibly rewarding. Furthermore, with a few basic strokes, you can relax and soothe or invigorate and stimulate. Much of the joy lies in its simplicity, effectiveness and accessibility. You need no equipment and it takes less than half-hour to complete. The beauty of this treatment is that you can perform it anywhere, anytime so is ideal for the stressed-out corporate employee. This highly effective therapy offer the maximum benefit with the minimum, of preparation, as the use of oil is not essential and the client remains clothed.

 

On this course you will learn to become proficient in Indian Head Massage and are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to set up in practice following qualification.

Attending this Reflexology Diploma course and becoming a professional reflexologist  is an exciting, fun, and rewarding challenge. One in which you will experience life changing personal growth while creating a great career for yourself helping and caring for others.

 

Reflexology is an ancient form of holistic treatment, with a long history encompassing Ancient Egypt, Japan, China and India. It is a science which deals with the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands which correspond to all of the glands, organs and parts of the body. A reflexology treatment involves deep pressure massage on the soles of the feet, which stimulate the nerves in the feet and influences the whole body. Stimulating these reflexes properly can help many health problems in a natural way, a type of preventative maintenance. As well as being deeply relaxing, it also improves the circulation and encourages the elimination of toxins and waste products. Reflexology like many other complementary therapies has increased in popularity over the past few years, and has now gained respect as an important, safe and natural healing art.

 

Training in Reflexology can lead to a wonderful new career. As a practitioner of Reflexology you will be able to work in hospitals, nursing homes, hospices, sports centres, gyms, natural health centres or even on luxury cruise liners! Alternatively, you may choose to branch out independently by working from home or visiting clients in their own homes. Over 2 million people visit a reflexologist in the UK each year. Opportunities for well qualified, skilled reflexologists are increasing at a rapid rate. Although the traditional route of self employment is still the most popular route, more and more reflexologists are finding part and full-time employment within clinics or corporations.

Aromatherapy is a healing art and science using plant derived essential oils to alleviate a wide range of physical and emotional disorders.

 

Supported by an ever-growing body of research into the incredible healing power and versatile therapeutic properties of essential oils, Aromatherapy is much more than ‘just a smell’. In fact, any physical or emotional problem might be helped in some way by cleverly selected and skilfully blended essential oils – from colds and flu, insomnia and muscular aches and pains to hormonal issues, digestive problems, pain management and skin conditions.

 

With its great success rate and versatility no wonder that Aromatherapy is well respected and widely practiced as one of the most popular complementary medicine therapies today.

---

How does an aromatherapist work?

 

After a detailed consultation and depending on the client’s needs, aromatherapy practitioner will carefully select and blend a number of essential oils and other materials in order to create an individual, safe and beneficial treatment. No pre-blended products are being used. Even though many clients may present with similar issues, aromatherapy treatment – in truly holistic way – will be different for each of them. It also allows to ensure the safety of the client.

 

The treatment usually takes form of a massage. But while it is a well-known fact that combined with massage, Aromatherapy treatment can create a haven of peace and tranquillity, it is also true (and confirmed by various studies) that it can stimulate, invigorate, help us focus, improve memory recall and even help in smoking cessation. And should massage be contraindicated or simply not ‘doable’ for whatever reason, we can still employ various other methods to help our clients anyway. In fact, there is a lot we can do without massaging them! But the power and potential of essential oils must never be underestimated. They key to successful treatment is a good knowledge of the essential oils and safe application methods.

 

At MSCM we are fortunate to have several tutors who are passionate and dedicated aromatherapists. Our MSCM Aromatherapy Diploma Course is detailed, comprehensive training that reflect this passion. Not only is it carefully designed to provide you with all the necessary skills and knowledge to practice Aromatherapy safely and effectively but also to develop the same love for the subject. This course is truly a voyage of delight and discovery from start to finish.

Attending this Reflexology Diploma course and becoming a professional reflexologist  is an exciting, fun, and rewarding challenge. One in which you will experience life changing personal growth while creating a great career for yourself helping and caring for others.

 

Reflexology is an ancient form of holistic treatment, with a long history encompassing Ancient Egypt, Japan, China and India. It is a science which deals with the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands which correspond to all of the glands, organs and parts of the body. A reflexology treatment involves deep pressure massage on the soles of the feet, which stimulate the nerves in the feet and influences the whole body. Stimulating these reflexes properly can help many health problems in a natural way, a type of preventative maintenance. As well as being deeply relaxing, it also improves the circulation and encourages the elimination of toxins and waste products. Reflexology like many other complementary therapies has increased in popularity over the past few years, and has now gained respect as an important, safe and natural healing art.

 

Training in Reflexology can lead to a wonderful new career. As a practitioner of Reflexology you will be able to work in hospitals, nursing homes, hospices, sports centres, gyms, natural health centres or even on luxury cruise liners! Alternatively, you may choose to branch out independently by working from home or visiting clients in their own homes. Over 2 million people visit a reflexologist in the UK each year. Opportunities for well qualified, skilled reflexologists are increasing at a rapid rate. Although the traditional route of self employment is still the most popular route, more and more reflexologists are finding part and full-time employment within clinics or corporations.

Indian Head Massage is one of the most useful skills a therapist can have. Not only does it give you another string to your bow, but it is a highly portable, visually appealing and modesty preserving therapy. You can use this therapy very effectively to develop your holistic therapy practice. You can also use it as a marketing tool for demonstration purposes, as a means of breaking into the lucrative corporate market or as an enticing taster treatment for would-be clients.

 

Many people are walking around `carrying the world on their shoulders` and as a result, this is where our stress, frustration and anger accumulates, manifesting as headaches, neck pain and some believe, even hair loss!

 

Indian Head Massage works in a firm, gentle rhythm to release emotional blockages, bringing calm, and relaxation to the client. The massage goes beyond the limits of healing by dealing with the balance and uniqueness of the individual.

 

The Origins

 

Indian Head Massage, also known Champissage, is an ancient art based on a traditional system of medicine known as Ayurveda. This has been practiced in India for over three thousand years and is becoming increasingly popular in the West. The treatment incorporates shiatsu and acupressure techniques on the head, scalp, face, neck, upper back, shoulders, arms, ears and hands, helping to relax tense areas and rebalance the body energy by releasing any areas of negativity or stress. These areas incorporate important meridians` beginning and end points, and other vital nerve endings within the body and so treating the head has beneficial effects all over. You work from behind performing a sequence of flowing stroking and kneading movements. Clients will feel very relaxed during an Indian Head Massage Treatment, and it is not uncommon for people to doze off during a session.

 

Indian Head Massage is as pleasurable to give as it is to receive. This ancient art is calming, revitalizing, uplifting and incredibly rewarding. Furthermore, with a few basic strokes, you can relax and soothe or invigorate and stimulate. Much of the joy lies in its simplicity, effectiveness and accessibility. You need no equipment and it takes less than half-hour to complete. The beauty of this treatment is that you can perform it anywhere, anytime so is ideal for the stressed-out corporate employee. This highly effective therapy offer the maximum benefit with the minimum, of preparation, as the use of oil is not essential and the client remains clothed.

 

On this course you will learn to become proficient in Indian Head Massage and are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to set up in practice following qualification.

Aromatherapy is a healing art and science using plant derived essential oils to alleviate a wide range of physical and emotional disorders.

 

Supported by an ever-growing body of research into the incredible healing power and versatile therapeutic properties of essential oils, Aromatherapy is much more than ‘just a smell’. In fact, any physical or emotional problem might be helped in some way by cleverly selected and skilfully blended essential oils – from colds and flu, insomnia and muscular aches and pains to hormonal issues, digestive problems, pain management and skin conditions.

 

With its great success rate and versatility no wonder that Aromatherapy is well respected and widely practiced as one of the most popular complementary medicine therapies today.

How does an aromatherapist work?

 

After a detailed consultation and depending on the client’s needs, aromatherapy practitioner will carefully select and blend a number of essential oils and other materials in order to create an individual, safe and beneficial treatment. No pre-blended products are being used. Even though many clients may present with similar issues, aromatherapy treatment – in truly holistic way – will be different for each of them. It also allows to ensure the safety of the client.

 

The treatment usually takes form of a massage. But while it is a well-known fact that combined with massage, Aromatherapy treatment can create a haven of peace and tranquillity, it is also true (and confirmed by various studies) that it can stimulate, invigorate, help us focus, improve memory recall and even help in smoking cessation. And should massage be contraindicated or simply not ‘doable’ for whatever reason, we can still employ various other methods to help our clients anyway. In fact, there is a lot we can do without massaging them! But the power and potential of essential oils must never be underestimated. They key to successful treatment is a good knowledge of the essential oils and safe application methods.

 

At MSCM we are fortunate to have several tutors who are passionate and dedicated aromatherapists. Our MSCM Aromatherapy Diploma Course is detailed, comprehensive training that reflect this passion. Not only is it carefully designed to provide you with all the necessary skills and knowledge to practice Aromatherapy safely and effectively but also to develop the same love for the subject. This course is truly a voyage of delight and discovery from start to finish.

Attending this Reflexology Diploma course and becoming a professional reflexologist  is an exciting, fun, and rewarding challenge. One in which you will experience life changing personal growth while creating a great career for yourself helping and caring for others.

 

Reflexology is an ancient form of holistic treatment, with a long history encompassing Ancient Egypt, Japan, China and India. It is a science which deals with the principle that there are reflex areas in the feet and hands which correspond to all of the glands, organs and parts of the body. A reflexology treatment involves deep pressure massage on the soles of the feet, which stimulate the nerves in the feet and influences the whole body. Stimulating these reflexes properly can help many health problems in a natural way, a type of preventative maintenance. As well as being deeply relaxing, it also improves the circulation and encourages the elimination of toxins and waste products. Reflexology like many other complementary therapies has increased in popularity over the past few years, and has now gained respect as an important, safe and natural healing art.

 

Training in Reflexology can lead to a wonderful new career. As a practitioner of Reflexology you will be able to work in hospitals, nursing homes, hospices, sports centres, gyms, natural health centres or even on luxury cruise liners! Alternatively, you may choose to branch out independently by working from home or visiting clients in their own homes. Over 2 million people visit a reflexologist in the UK each year. Opportunities for well qualified, skilled reflexologists are increasing at a rapid rate. Although the traditional route of self employment is still the most popular route, more and more reflexologists are finding part and full-time employment within clinics or corporations.
