Obtain Your Hot Stones Massage Training and Qualification with this Accredited Course

Westminster Insurance    Accredited by the GHT  All courses are fully insurable in the UK

Our Hot Stones Massage practitioner training course includes everything you need to safely and professionally conduct a Hot Stones Massage treatment. We can arrange SOLO or BESPOKE tuition for you at a date that suits you best.

 

SOLO tuition gives you the opportunity to focus upon individual requirements and the course will be tailored to your skill level and previous experience. Because solo tuition is one-to-one training (just yourself and the teacher) you would need to bring along a massage model with you who can be a friend or family member. As part of your learning experience the teacher would demonstrate the full treatment routine upon you at the start of the day.

 

Please note: You need to have a qualification in full body massage in order to undertake this course.

You can spread the cost of your training course by choosing PayPal Pay Later at checkout.
