Swedish Massage Training
Swedish massage works the muscles, joints and soft tissues of the back, shoulders, legs, feet, arms, hands, neck, head and abdomen.We use a variety of techniques including short and long strokes, kneading, and tapping. It can be relaxing, or energising and can reduce tension and improve skin tone. Clients sometimes also report an improvement in well-being and better sleep.
This training has been designed to high professional standards by Natural Touch Training. They provide course materials and issue your certification.
Claire from Claire's Holistics is a roaming tutor so currently assessment needs to take place in your own salon, treatment room, or an appropriate space in your home following a venue risk assessment.
