Student testimony (something nice)

Just do it!  NHS Certificate in Complementary Therapy (Cancer Pathway)  With the aim of gaining practical experience as a complementary therapist in a cancer-care setting, I found my way to the Sir Robert Ogden Macmillan Cancer Centre in Harrogate where the first NHS Natural Therapy School is based, for the 12 week program leading to the NHS Certificate in Complementary Therapy (Cancer Pathway).  This program offered an unique opportunity to learn and work within a professional, supportive and caring team, to NHS standards, while helping people during their cancer treatments, their carers, and patients on wards in the main hospital, through the power of touch – in my case, aromatherapy massage.  The required medical and professional standards were obviously very high, and I was a bit daunted at first.  There was a lot to learn about professional standards in the NHS, about the many forms of cancer and how these impact on people and how to tailor treatments to individual circumstances and the constraints of being on a hospital ward.  However, as experiences go, this was probably one of the most rewarding professional and human experiences I have had, if not the most.  Underpinning this was the expert and ongoing coaching and guidance from Gwyn Featonby, who leads the program, and support from Beverly Harrison and the wider team, which was invaluable. “Light touch” but the right touch.  Also, the chance to work with and learn from fellow therapists was an added bonus.  Through evidence-based practice, it was satisfying to see positive results for patients.  Being accepted by medical professionals as part of the wider team supporting patients was amazing. So, if I have any advice for anyone considering embarking on this journey, it would be to “just do it”!

Covid-19 Lockdown 3.0

EMM-Tech: The Chameleon approach to the body

The EMMETT Technique uses light touch to trigger a relaxation response in the soft tissue of the body, and the therapist may help relieve tension and pain resulting in feelings of improved comfort within the body. It may be enjoyed by people of all ages, from the very young to the elderly and many people find they feel more at ease within their body, and emotional well- being is enhanced. This internationally recognised technique developed by Ross works well as a standalone approach but can easily be combined with other complementary therapies such as massage and chiropractic as examples.

The EMM-Tech one day workshop offers everyone the opportunity to use pain relieving techniques that can either be incorporated into your therapy practice, or used to help relieve pain and movement restriction with family and friends. Taught over one full day, you will learn how to recognise and release tension in 11 muscle groups throughout the body. Results are often immediate.

Areas treated include;

SCM for stiff neck

Pectoralis Minor for shoulder problems

Forearm for poor grip and elbow pain

Latissimus dorsi for lower back pain and heavy arms

Diaphragm for restricted breathing and stress

ITB for tight hips and thighs

ITB/Sartorius for poor flexibility and weakness in the legs

Gastroc/calf for fluid and calf pain

Foot balance to assist stability

This course is suitable for the absolute beginner, carers and for those interested in using muscle management techniques to help with general problems. CPD points are awarded by many of the professional associations for qualified therapists.

Course dates:

Sunday July 18th 2021 09.00am to 05.00pm

Friday December 10th 09.00am to 05.00pm

The 'M' Technique®

The ‘M’ Technique® is a method of structured touch. Each movement and sequence is done a set number of times, in a set pattern, at a set pressure and set speed that never change. This makes it extremely easy to learn. And, because the technique is completely choreographed it is completely reproducible and therefore useful in research.

The ‘M’ Technique® works on skin receptors that send signals to the brain. The technique has been described as physical hypnotherapy, ‘a kind of meditation’ and a ‘spiritual dance’. The ‘M’ Technique® is suitable for the very fragile, critically ill or actively dying patient, or when someone is just very stressed or when the giver is not trained in massage.

Anyone can learn the ‘M’ Technique® – it is suitable for caregivers, family members, volunteers, and friends as well as nurses, therapists and other health professionals. It is not necessary to have previous training in massage.

Touch is one of the basic forms of communications, yet many of us may be apprehensive to touch those who need it most. The ‘M’ Technique® is simple to learn. It is different from massage and the Practitioner course can be learned in a weekend.

The ‘M’ Technique® is accredited by IFPA(International Federation of Professional Aromatherapists), FHT( Federation of Holistic Therapists) and CThA (Complementary Therapists Association) for CPD credits and is insured by Balens Ltd

For more information about the ‘M’ Technique®, how it was developed, how it works and access to published research on it’s affects and benefits, please go to www.rjbuckle.com

The cost of the Practitioner course is £220.00. For full certification students must complete the course and successfully submit two case studies with six months of completing the course.

Course dates:

Saturday July 3rd 2021 09.30am to 04.30pm and Sunday July 4th 2021 09.30pm to 04.30pm

Course Cost: £220

Course tutor:

Philippa Hunter

Philippa is a fully trained and registered Holistic Therapist, and ‘M’ Technique® Instructor. She has taught the ‘M’ Technique® in Europe and the UK for over ten years. As well as general practise she has many years experience of complementary therapies in hospice and palliative care, and is a member of the Complementary Therapy team at Longfield (Hospice Care) in Gloucestershire. She is a registered Aromatherapist, trained by Robert Tisserand and a member of the IFPA. She also specialises in therapy for adults with special needs.

Introduction to Five Elements

The 5 Element principle underpins the unique relationship between all energy and matter; and forms the basis for Eastern Medicine and complementary therapies.

This work shop sets out to identify and underpin how embracing this eastern philosophy can enhance our practice and nurture those within our care.

‘Heaven my well have a plan for us, a seed planted at conception within, but whether we have the will, the desire to activate what is in our hearts; to release our innate potential depends on what significance and belief structure we attach to our life’s experiences.”

The work shop is open to anyone but is particularly suitable for health workers and complementary therapists; and is especially relevant to DYT graduates and students. No previous experience is required.

Course programme

The day will focus on the theory of 5 elements including the relevance of person centred relationships and the way assessing individual relationships to nature can be used to help fulfil potential.

Content will include:

  • Theory of yin and yang
  • The theory behind 5 elements
  • The three treasures
  • Emotional and constitutional imbalances
  • Internal and external causes of disease
  • The relation to the physical body, organs ailments and sensory signs of health and illness
  • Inner development of the practitioner
  • Treatment plans within various modalities.

Course date: Wednesday June 30th 2021 09.30am to 04.00pm.

Course cost: £50

Course venue: Rudding Park Golf Observatory, Harrogate

Essential Oils; History and Mystery

Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens): Used today for antiseptic, analgesic and insecticidal properties geraniums were commonly grown in window boxes during medieval times to discourage witches and demons entering the home!

Did you know that many of the essential oils we use today have been used throughout history as natural medicines and healers. Way back through time the wise woman used plant materials to produce tinctures, medicines, herbal oils and brews as aids to healing disease.

Steeped in mystery and superstition, many illnesses were believed to have been caused by supernatural influences and witchcraft and as such, healing had a much greater focus on protection and negating evil forces.

During this 3 hour workshop we will explore how some essential oils used today were prepared as natural medicines including their spiritual properties. We will examine plant chemistry and use plants to prepare tissanes and herbal oils and discover how these practices can be used to make simple remedies for home use today.

Course date: Date to be confirmed.

Course cost: £25.

Course venue: Rudding Park Golf Observatory, Harrogate.

“What’s Good to Eat? - an Introduction to Nutrition”

This workshop aims to help participants gain a deeper understanding of how our diet affects our health, and how our relationship with food affects wellbeing.

The workshop starts by establishing a definition of good nutrition. From this point, participants will learn about the three main food groups, and their role in a healthy diet. There are many misconceptions about the role of food, so the aim here is to help participants make sense of all the different messages we are given about “good” and “bad” foods.

This leads onto a further session specifically examining the relationship between food and health, and what can be achieved through even small changes in a person’s diet.

The workshop continues with analysis of participants’ own eating habits, which can provide a useful reminder of where changes can be made.

It will conclude with discussion of issues raised, and steps to take to put learning into practice.

Throughout, the workshop will involve participants in practical activities, discussions and group exercises.

Course costs: £55

Course date: TBC

Course tutor:

Caroline Innis – www.food-works.co.uk

Caroline Innes is an experienced complementary practitioner, having started in practice in 1999. She recognised how many of her clients had health issues that could be addressed through making changes to their diets, and decided to follow a course of study to enable her to help. Having achieved a first class honours degree in Nutrition and Health Sciences in 2005, she set up Food Works. Her aim is to use ordinary, easily available food where possible, and help people make the changes that they need without having to resort to supplements, gimmicks or expensive “special” foods. She has since extended her business to include cookery tuition in clients’ own kitchens.

Tibetan Hand and Arm Massage - Face The World

Delivered by Natural Health School, this course is exclusive to Face The World. A good hand massage will help tremendously to de-stress your client, open energy channels and create a feeling of well being. It’s also a perfect treatment to therapy swap

About Tibetan Massage – Ku Nye

Pronouned “Coon-Yee”, in its most simple terms means Ku – to apply oil and Nye – to massage. This wonderful, ancient massage has taken place throughout the Himalayan region and Tibet for thousands of years and draws on Indian, Chinese and Persian wisdom as well as its own traditions. As with many Eastern massage treatments, it uses an holistic approach in viewing the body as a whole – and balancing energy flow and life-force as well as physical benefits. Tibetan Medicine believes that we are made up of five basic elements: earth, water, fire, wind and space. It is the wind element that is the focus of Ku Nye.

The hands-on techniques applied in Tibetan massage are surprisingly similar to those used in Western methods! Such methods include rubbing, kneading, stroking and stimulation of acupressure points. The oil/medium used in the massage treatment not only provides slip for the therapist, but binds the wind element in place and brings it into balance.

  • The course is accredited with The Beauty and Holistic Guilds and carries 7 CPD units – and comes with the relevant Face The World (unique) CD and a start-up duo of exclusive FTW massage creme and toner concentrate included.
  • No prerequisite training is needed – beginners also welcome – you will receive a Certificate of Attendance rather than the insurable CPD Diploma for existing/insured therapists. We can upgrade your Certificate to Diploma (no cost) should you go on to become a professional therapist.

Added Benefits of Traditional Tibetan Music

The CD you will be provided with as part of this course is in itself, highly therapeutic. Created just for Face The World, it incorporates Tibetan chimes, singing bowls and the unmistakable sounds of Tibetan monks chanting.

  • Tibetan chimes (Ting-sha) have been used in prayer and religious rituals for as long as the Tibetan Monasteries have existed. The pure tones are said to cleanse the air and banish negative frequencies – energising Chi and readying the environment for prayer, mediation and healing.
  • Singing Bowls produce sound waves with frequencies that resonate and enable the theta state of the brain as well as restore a healthy vibrational state of the body, mind and spirit. Theta brainwaves induce the state of deep meditation and relaxation that is also said to enhance intuition, creative thinking and promote healing from disorders such as stress, anxiety, depression and insomnia.
  • A Buddhist Chant or “deep voice” chanting is incredibly hard to master. The phaynx or false vocal chords are controlled in such a way as to create a second or even third/fourth overtone to be amplified at the same time as the first note. This is reputed to be a multidimensional waveform which operates on several levels of the body and mind. This sound is said to be in synch with the creative force of the Universe, in Hindu known as AUM (Om), which was the sound that initiated creation.

Eastern Facial Massage - Face The World

Did you know that the ancient Chinese treatment of acupressure has been practiced and perfected for over 5000 years? In simple terms, it was discovered that by pressing certain points of the body, pain or disease were alleviated – and often in regions of the body remote from the pain or pressure point!

Facial acupressure can be performed by a massage therapist or other certified professional, or a person can perform it on his or her own face once trained in what to do.

This course, delivered through Natural Health School, is exclusive to Face The World, and uses complementary techniques drawn from both Indian Face Massage and Japanese Face Massage. This unique massage routine will add an Eastern philosophical and technical approach, and will increase your repertoire of techniques to enable you to effectively treat various facial conditions.

The course is accredited with The Beauty and Holistic Guilds and carries 7 CPD units – and comes with a starter kit to get you going:

•The unique “China” Face The World CD (no music licence needed – we own it outright)

•A start-up duo of exclusive FTW cleanser and FTW massage crème (for your first 5 treatments)

•A printed Training Manual

•Access to the FTW product store at trade prices

No prerequisite training is needed – beginners also welcome – you will receive a Certificate of Attendance rather than the insurable CPD Diploma for existing/insured therapists. We can upgrade your Certificate to Diploma (no cost) should you go on to become a professional therapist.

Course Date: To be confirmed

Course cost: £75

Thai Foot Massage - Face The World

Thai Foot Massage (Nuat Phaen Boran) as we know it today is an ancient, holistic treatment passed down from generation to generation over thousands of years, but it has clearly stood the test of time. And not without reason! This course will teach you some wonderfully relaxing and healing massage techniques. It is still taught by Buddhist monks in the temples of Thailand, and it incorporates elements of Shiatsu, Reflexology, Chinese massage and Yoga. We focus on a more straightforward routine, no sticks are used (but you can always incorporate them later) – so it is also suitable for foot-massage beginners…

The course is accredited with The Beauty and Holistic Guilds and carries 7 CPD units – and comes with a full starter kit to get you going:

•The unique “Thailand” Face The World CD (no music licence needed – we own it outright)

•A start-up duo of exclusive FTW massage creme and toner concentrate (for your first 5 treatments)
