With increasing support for the benefits of holistic treatments, it is not surprising then that many large companies now invite holistic therapists into the workplace to administer treatments like Indian head massage.

It is with this in mind that the experts at The Beauty Academy are now offering a selection of specialist two-day beauty courses focussing on the administration and theory behind of Britain's most favoured holistic treatments.

Beauty Courses available range from an extensive selection of one and two day diploma courses in holistic treatments including body massage, hot stone massage, Indian head massage, and reflexology.

Director at The Beauty Academy, Coral Hadley said, "One of our most important beauty courses is our programme in Swedish full body massage as it is an essential unit for those hoping to become a fully fledged beauty therapist.

Deriving from the ancient Greek word "massin" (to knead), the Arabic word "mass" and the Hebrew word "mashesh" (to press), this relaxation technique provides comfort to those suffering from muscular skeletal disorders or even work related stress.

The Beauty Academy not only provide their students with in depth knowledge of how to administer this treatment in line with the notoriously high industry standards, their comprehensive range of beauty courses equip each student with the essential tools for success. Each course features modules on client consultation, health and safety, preparation of the treatment room, posture analysis and even after care.

Not only do The Beauty Academy offer courses to suit complete beginners, beauty courses targeted at existing therapists wishing to add to their skills are also available.

Mrs Hadley added, "Our courses in full body massage appeal to people from all walks of life, but we do seem to get an influx of people attending who have been used to holding down a very stressful or high powered career and want something to counteract their past experiences. What always strikes me is that those who attend our beauty courses, often point out that it is just as relaxing to do the Swedish massage as it is to receive one".
