On completion of the course, assessment questions and case studies, you will be awarded a CPD Diploma in Indian Head Massage (IHM) from the Gaia School of Natural Health in association with Harmony Holistics Wirral. This is accepted by major insurance companies such as Alan Boswell and Balens, for you to gain insurance to offer IHM as a therapy for the public.
Please note that the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT) and Complementary Therapists Association (CThA) will only accept this certificate if you already hold a Level 3 in Body Massage and in Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology, and will only list it that you offer Head, Neck and Shoulder Massage, not IHM. If your therapist insurance is with any company other than those mentioned, you are advised to check with them before booking onto this course, to make sure that they will accept this certificate for you to add IHM onto your policy.

The course is delivered by Harmony Holistics Wirral in association with Gaia School of Natural Health, a long established and well respected Complementary Therapy training school. Balens insurance have confirmed that they will accept this certificate in order to insure the application of this treatment. In order to satisfy CPD training requirements you will be required to submit 3 follow up treatments in order to obtain your certificate.

Harmony Holistics Wirral / Gaia School of Natural Health requires the completion of a booking form available via the Gaia School of Natural Health website to register onto the course.
