Diploma in Indian Head Massage

FHT Accredited QualificationThis three day FHT (Federation of Holistic Therapists) accredited post graduate diploma is open to all complementary, beauty and sports therapists qualified in a recognised therapy which includes modules in anatomy and physiology and business awareness. This Diploma is accredited by FHT for 20 CPD points.

The course is valued by students as the classes are small and the atmosphere is very friendly and supportive. The days are flavoured by many years of experience in practising and teaching Indian Head Massage in a variety of settings since my book The Art of Indian Head Massage was published. We also also explore some of the Indian massage techniques learnt whilst studying and travelling in India in February 2011.

Course Content:
The course covers all the essential practical and theoretical knowledge necessary to offer a safe, effective and appropriate treatment to a wide range of clients. It is an invaluable addition to any therapies currently practised and an excellent treatment to take into the workplace.
The course teaches the European Approach to Indian Head Massage whilst offering learners an insight into the history and traditional techniques still practised in India today. Some new techniques have been added since I trained in Ayurveda in Goa in February 2011. You can read about my colourful experiences on this trip on my blog post about my trip to India.

During my courses, great emphasis us placed on self-care of the therapist and offer a supportive and friendly learning environment making each day fun as well as productive.

Mary Atkinson Indian Head Massage Courses

“The course is inspiring….we packed so much into three days.  I came away with confidence and enthusiasm. Highly recommended.”

“It was just wonderful. All so relaxed yet we learnt so much. I am already booked into two more of Mary’s courses.”

“Mary Atkinson has a great knowledge of Indian Head Massage and provides 1st rate training courses. Mary imparts all her knowledge in the courses she runs and I felt she gave added enthusiasm to the subject. As part of the courses Mary gave us extra supporting material in addition to the training manuals which is a great extra and shows she had put a great deal of thought into preparation.”

“What a wonderful three days. Mary is brilliantly thorough, but makes it fun and very supportive in the process.”
