Hydrolats - Properties, Uses and Applications

This one day workshop covers 15 common hydrolats examining their therapeutic properties, uses and application in modern day aromatherapy.

Students will have the opportunity to make an aromatherapy product which utilises hydrolats as one of its main constituents.

AROMATHERAPY DIPLOMA

I recently completed the Clinical Aromatherapy course with Sue Lincoln at the Therapy Training Centre, and am now planning to go self-employed as a therapist. Before signing on to the course, I had done quite extensive research into finding the best and most appropriate course of study. I am so glad I took the time to do this, as I could not have been happier with the quality of the teaching and the excellent standard of the training and content of the course. Sue Lincoln has a profound depth of knowledge and passion for the subject, and a talent for sharing this with her students, and wherever possible she was able to personalise the course to suit our needs. The course content is very thorough, preparing the students completely for a professional future, and I will certainly be attending Sue's other courses for continuing professional development.

MASSAGE DIPLOMA

I enrolled on the AAPA and Sue Lincoln School of Holistic Therapies – Diploma in Therapeutic Massage Course in September 2011, I already had a massage qualification from 7 years ago, but felt I needed to “brush up” on my massage skills. This course seemed to offer a recap on my current skills and also cover new areas.

The course exceeded my expectations. Sue’s teaching style encourages participation and active learning. Her knowledge base is vast and as well as teaching the basics she is able to diversify and has the expertise to teach many different approaches and treatment techniques. The training days were thoroughly enjoyable and I never felt I was in “school “. A highly recommended learning experience!

I have now developed a different approach to my clients, addressing their problems more specifically with assessment and making my massages more goal orientated.

I feel my skills as a massage therapist have dramatically improved since completing this course with Sue.

I have studied Anatomy and Physiology (distance learning), Making your own Natural Skin Care Products and Massage Therapy with Sue.

A very relaxed way of learning, Sue is responsive and sensitive to her student’s needs and I found the teaching sessions very informal but informative. I always felt that Sue was open to discussions, not just slavishly following the written material.

Sue really does know her stuff and you will find that you go beyond any curriculum! Be prepared! There is a lot of work involved but Sue encourages you to liase with your fellow students and learn from each other!

GENERAL

I have completed 4 of Sue Lincoln’s courses / workshops (A&P, Clinical Aromatherapy and Natural face lift, Product making) and I am now embarking on Clinical Reflexology, Reiki 1 and Advanced Massage Techniques. Sue is a thorough and methodical teacher with excellent subject knowledge. She delivers her courses with enthusiasm and generously shares her knowledge and experience with her students. I am employed in education, and I cannot under estimate the time and dedication that Sue gives to all of her classes. Her teaching style is professional, yet human, fully addressing and understanding the individual needs of her learner’s.

What I have gained from the course is the way Sue tailors the course tuition to your individual needs or interest. She is genuinely interested in you as an individual and whenever possible she will go in to deep detail about the subject matter (something you will never gain from a typical commercial therapy training provider). All of the course notes and materials that Sue provides are in depth and of a high quality.

I have found each course empowering and excellent value for money (otherwise I would have never enrolled on further courses). I have investigated other training providers, but to be completely honest they do not offer what Sue does, and I know that when I complete a course with Sue that I will gain a strong subject knowledge and have experienced in depth training that will allow me to confidently practise each therapy with expertise and professionalism.

The cherry on the cake is that I have made friendships through the courses that will last me a life time, and I cannot put a price on that!
Thank you Sue.

ADVANCED MASSAGE TECHNIQUES

My name is Kirsty Ritzema. I am 25 years old and work as a sports therapist in a private musculoskeletal clinic in Sunderland. Over the years, I have worked in the fitness industry, worked in sport, worked as a mobile therapist treating muscular complaints and now I work alongside an osteopath to correct imbalances in the musculoskeletal system as well as treat injuries (ranging from acute to chronic).

After being in practice as a qualified sports therapist for 3 years after completing a 3 year University Degree, I feel that I need to keep my advanced skills sharp to provide an A* service for my clients, so this is why I enrolled on Sue Lincoln’s Advanced Massage Techniques course. I wasn’t quite sure where the level of knowledge bar was going to be set before I went on the course and wasn’t sure if it was going to be an easy ride or be challenging for me. I was hoping for a challenge to get my brain working again and really make me think more about applied anatomy. Sue did not fail me. This course was challenging and made me think about the structures of the body in great detail (something I think we all forget to do from time to time). This course got me really excited about exploring the body again and reminded me of why I love my job!

The course content was thorough, yet not too mind blowing and Sue managed to make it fun. Sue put everything into working context so that it made everything easier to absorb because you could see how the techniques would fit into your working day. I love how courses like this always iron out your bad habits as well which is important in practice so you stay safe and effective during your work. I am extremely pleased with the course that Sue Lincoln delivered and I was blown away by the amount of knowledge Sue has to share. She is warm, easy to talk to and works in the industry so she could relate to all of us. She was one of us, getting alongside us to demonstrate and chat to us while we worked on each other, but still has that professionalism you expect from a lecturer. The fact that the course numbers are low also means that you get more contact time with Sue and also with each other so a large amount of your time on the course is hands on.

I can’t rate Sue highly enough and recommend her to all therapists. The course was brilliant!

"The course was a combination of intellectual work and lots of fun. My expectations were exceeded and Sue's knowledge was thorough and in-depth. The course and environment has been fantastic, I would advise the course to any therapist." Abigail Coultas BSc Sport Science, March 2009

"Thanks for a really useful four days on the Advanced Massage Course. As you know I am a studying physiotherapist previously having completed a Sports Science Degree and Post Graduate Diplomas in Sport Management as well as running a health club, working for Newcastle United Football Club, lecturing in Sports Science and Management at University of Northumbria and Newcastle College.

In the past I have obviously experienced many sports/exercise type courses and would rate your course extremely high. Not only was it useful in terms of the content, I found your overall knowledge and experience of palpation, anatomy and techniques of massage invaluable to what I intend to practice in the future. The course was formal enough to learn, yet friendly and informal with all students feeling comfortable to ask questions and receive really good advice and guidance. Overall I feel eager to become an ‘expert ‘ in my field of study and its really good to come across someone who also strives for this.
I wish you all the best for the future and hope to attend more of your courses."
