Summary:
This beautiful Facial includes a detoxifying treatment that utilises natural Ayurvedic products, some of which we learn to make during the course. We learn to use pure botanical extracts and herbal preparations to deeply cleanse, hydrate and rejuvenate the skin. It includes a facial steam and a Marma Point Massage to relax and relieve the stress lines that are a result of everyday life.
Included in the course notes is additional information on essential oils to balance the doshas. Whether using essential oils and/or the botanical extracts and herbal preparations that create beautiful earthy Ubtans (India's beauty secret), the products used are chosen to address the client's doshic imbalance. This is a sumptuous treatment, deeply relaxing to Vata dosha and, with the addition of the main marma-points of the head and face - also rebalances the whole body. Includes a Starter Pack of Ubtans to take home.
Overview
Charaka, a classical Ayurvedic writer, defines disease and health thus, 'A disharmony among the constituents which support the body is known as disease; their harmony is called health, the state of normality. A sense of well-being is characteristic of the absence of disease, for disease is always associated with discomfort'.

We strongly advise that only qualified Aromatherapists use essential oils with members of the public.

Student Comments
'Really excellent. Good explanations putting everything into context. Fascinating'
'I really enjoyed the Course - it will add so much to my other treatments as well as a treatment in its own right'.
'Brilliant teacher - I felt comfortable asking questions and she helped me understand things I have been struggling with for ages. Really enjoyed the theory - it was 'in-depth' enough to be able to take about Ayurveda with my clients. The practical was perfect - the facial is very special - my clients love it'
'Wow - I did the course because I have an interest in Ayurveda and did not expect such an amazing response from my clients. Its given my business a new edge and since doing the course 2 weeks ago I have now done 11 treatments and each and every person has loved the experience. I absolutely love doing the treatment and find the connection between me and my client very powerful - its so much less demanding than doing a full massage but my clients seem to be equally, if not more, relaxed and 'blissed out'. Its absolutely brilliant!! I have added a little bit of hot stone work on neck and shoulders to add to the bliss! This is the feedback I got from one client who has now booked a course of 5'
"What an amazing experience! The Ayurvedic oils and creams are divine and I look 5 years younger. My skin is incredibly soft and replenished. The heat from the hot stones dissolved all the tension in my neck and I am utterly relaxed and have a sense of well being I haven't experienced in years. This is so much more than a facial and I can't wait for my next appointment"
‘Excellent teacher able to convey complex information in a way everyone could access, calm and friendly. A well-constructed course with plenty of information and opportunities to practice and ask questions. Group was a perfect size (4 people) for me. Very nice venue.’ 24/04/24 R.Gledhill
‘Jane was so knowledgeable and shared so much with us – so much learning in just 2 days. Very easy to ask questions and received very clear answers. A lovely group and great training venue. The content of the course went fairly deeply for an introduction but I have finished the course feeling like I have a very good base foundation of knowledge’ 24/04/24 K.Treanor
