Course programme

This course offers students tuition on therapeutic, Swedish and holistic massage techniques offering a comprehensive and effective introduction to massage therapy.

What is Aromatherapy?
This course offers full clinical and Holistic Aromatherapy, incorporating full dispensing skills.

Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils distilled from plants to promote a well balanced and healthy lifestyle. Massage, bathing, vaporisation and inhalation are the usual methods of use.

Essential oils are used by Aromatherapists generally in massage. Essential oils are blended with a carrier oil to create a mixture which can be used directly on the body. The blend will depend of the clients needs and condition. Often their use is also recommended for bathing and burning in a water solution over a candle to clean and purify the air and to effect improvements in a persons breathing and general well being. If essential oils are used in skin and body care, carrier oils can also be moisturising, nourishing and protecting.

The ITEC Diploma Course
The course also offers a greater range of massage techniques building upon those gained in the Holistic Massage.
