Hot & Cold Stone Body & Reflex Massage (HS1)

Overview

Learn how to balance the chakras using hot and cold stones. Give a deeply relaxing full body massage whilst your client rests upon stones placed along the spine. This 2 Day Qualification training course enables the completing Student to offer several new sumptuous hot stone massage treatments to their clients:

There are many hot stone massage courses offering basic training in the use of Hot Stones however, if you would like to be able to receive in depth training to acquire the most out of these beautiful natural resources then this course goes much further.

In addition, as you become familiar with working with your hot stones, you will also find them indispensable as a general massage tool to both prepare, relax and soothe the muscles during Deep Tissue/Remedial massage treatments

You will learn how to create effective treatment protocols for your clients. All of our clients are different and the more skills we have to find a way in with our clients the more effective our treatments can be. Some clients will respond better to full body hot/cold stone massage whilst others will benefit from Foot Reflex Stone treatments.

An added bonus: The tutor brings sets of naturally formed basalt stones that have tumbled down from the highest reaches of volcanoes into streams where they have been shaped naturally by their journey - (not the machine cut stones that are now widely available). These as well as cold stones and chakra stones are usually available for students to purchase on the course.

Your Tutor: Written and presented by Anita James, Anita is a multi-talented practitioner having qualifications in Aromatherapy, Reiki, Indian Head-Massage and Hopi Ear-Candling to name but a few. Anita runs her own training school, has served on the IFPA Board and has been teaching internationally for many years. We are very fortunate to have her on our Guest Tutor List.

Please note: Course numbers are intentionally limited for this course to afford students individual support during their studies and we can only seize the opportunity from Anita's busy schedule a couple of times a year. Therefore book your place early to avoid disappointment!

'I had been searching for a while to find a 2 day Hot Stone Massage Course & I am so glad I held out and found the SEED Institute. Within minutes of the class starting I was hooked - the tutor was very passionate about the therapy with lots of interesting facts and information, told in a clear and effective way. I've been on courses when it really drags but this didn't. By the end of the first day I had learnt and practised the Hot Stone Body Massage and I was eager to come back the following day and learn more. The 2nd day exceeded my expectations. Anita is an amazing tutor with lots of knowledge and experience as a Therapist, which really came across in her teaching. My hand-out comes everywhere with me, just in case I need to refer back or go through certain things again, such as the meridians and reflex points. I feel the Hot Stones have added a whole new dimension to the way I work and I love it. The course gives you a full body massage, a cold stone facial massage which can work as an individual treatment and Hot Stone Foot Reflex. The course has definitely created new clients for me, their feedback has been fab! A course I would recommend to any Therapist - I can't imagine working without them.'

'I would just like to say that in November I went on the Hot Stone Massage course, by Anita James. I thoroughly enjoyed learning a new technique and purchasing my special stones. I have gone on to pass my theory and just have a little more work to submit for my Case Studies. I would encourage anyone who is considering this course to go ahead. I have used the stones in a variety of ways and find them quite versatile.'

'Demonstrations were easy to follow and I liked the course notes - they were clear and concise. The Tutor knows her subject and puts it across very well. Very practical advice given.'

'Very good, professional, moves you to the next level.'

'The Tutor was excellent, knowledgeable, funny and very informative. I feel that I can now take the information and use it immediately. So much knowledge! Great. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Much more information than I was expecting.'

'Well presented course. Anita gave loads of useful information. She had stones that we could purchase so we can start straight away. Thoroughly enjoyed everything about the course.'

'Anita is an excellent Tutor, all subjects explained well in detail. Questions readily answered with confidence and ability to explain in a manner easily understood. Course well structured and flowing in a logical manner. Plenty of balance between theory and practical. A well organised and informative course, learnt lots and am looking forward to introducing treatments to my clients.'

'I feel that the course has met all my needs to go ahead and add Hot Stone Therapy to my repertoire with real confidence.'
