Hot stone massage is a deeply relaxing massage therapy that is extremely popular in spas and salons. There are many different variations but we think here at our Hampshire-based training centre we’ve perfected a hot stone massage treatment which offers the client a fantastic experience.

This treatment offers many opportunities to a therapist as it can easily be adapted to add new dimensions to other therapies such as manicure and pedicure, facials and Indian Head Massage.

Not only is it a luxurious treatment for you clients it has less strain on the therapist.

How training here works

1 Book your place. You pay the deposit by card and the place is yours from that moment. The course details and materials are emailed to you, and the balance is due on your training day.
2 Train in a small group. Theory, a demonstration, then the treatment on each other - and on a model for assessment.
3 Practise, then get assessed. Some of the short day courses are assessed on the day; others need you to come back to the centre for the assessment. Practising at home on friends and family is a must. Assessment dates are usually agreed and booked during the training, at a time to suit you.
