You are extremely professional, friendly and patient. I found the course manual comprehensive and everything during the training was explained thoroughly. I found the practical training invaluable and look forward to booking my next course! Karen - Kettering

All of my Holistic and Beauty Therapy Training courses are accredited by The Guild of Beauty and Holistic Therapists and are awarded CPD (Continuous Professional Development) points. http://www.beautyguild.com/

In some instances, The Guild of Beauty Therapists will accept therapists as members and provide insurance cover without an Anatomy and Physiology qualification.  This is subject to the type of course being undertaken.  For Swedish Body Massage, Hot Stone Therapy and Thai Compress Massage students will be required to provide proof of either an A and P qualification or proof that they are working towards their qualification. 
   
Anatomy and Physiology 

Whilst Anatomy and Physiology are not required for certain modalities; if you are serious about being a Therapist I would always encourage students to study for an A and P qualification.  Local colleges often offer A and P courses but if you would rather study at your own pace then distance learning courses can be equally as good.

Insurance

The Guild is the leading trade association in the UK and one of the biggest providers of insurance for beauty therapists, holistic therapists, and nail technicians.  If you want to set up in practice you must hold valid public liability insurance. This is to protect your client and to protect yourself in the unfortunate event of a claim being made against you.  All therapists requiring insurance cover must hold recognised qualifications.  It is always worth “shopping around” for the right insurance cover as prices can vary.  There are many insurance companies that specialise in providing cover for therapists and information is always provided when undertaking any Vitality Course.

Vitality Courses

As a practicing therapist, I understand the business and over the years I have built up a working knowledge of what being a therapist means. All of my courses include information on running a business such as where to find information on Tax and Insurance, Marketing and Promoting, Health and Safety and how to make your business a success.  I also provide important support after the course, so if you need help or guidance on any aspect of being a therapist be it practical advice on a specific therapy or business advice, I am always happy to help and if I don't know the answer to your question, I am certain to know someone who does and can point you in the right direction.

When you sign up to do a training course with me, you will be keen to get on with - the "lovely hands on bit" which is why I always send out a pre course assessment.  This assessment gives me an idea of how much knowledge you already have so that I can tailor the course to your individual needs. 

For example, if you are a qualified therapist with a thriving practice and you want to learn Indian Head Massage, then 95% of the course will be hands on because you will already have a working knowledge of Anatomy and Physiology and running a business so although we can always learn something new the most important part of the course will be learning the new modality.  

If on the other hand you are just starting out and have very little experience, I can provide you with the essential knowledge you will need such as the Anatomy of the area you are going to be working on and the massage techniques you'll need, before teaching you the actual treatment.   In the main all courses are 80% practical, 20% theory. 

I accept a maximum of 2 students at any one time to ensure my students receive the guidance, encouragement and practical experience they need to undertake their chosen therapy with confidence. A model is provided so students can watch and learn, ask any questions, then have a go themselves! A comprehensive manual is also provided which covers essential Anatomy and Physiology, Theory, Business Advice and the all important Therapy Routines.
