Beauty Therapy Courses

It is no longer true (if indeed it ever was) that beauty is only skin deep. It goes much deeper than that and is very much a part of good grooming, good health and hygiene and a vital component of self-esteem and confidence. It is, in all senses of the words, beauty therapy. Whether you wish to work in the enjoyable field of Manicure & Pedicure or Beauty Specialist treatments, or whether you wish to enhance your own personal appearance, there is something here for you.

Counselling Training Courses

Stress is fast becoming a way of life, not only in Britain but throughout the world. Many diseases may be caused by stress. One only has to consider skin diseases, heart problems, arthritic conditions, cancer, digestive problems, insomnia, migraine and allergies to see the medical conditions caused by stress. Equally, mental disorders such as depression, phobias and sexual problems, can arise from stress. Indeed, the medical profession has found there are more people suffering from stress than the common cold!

Yoga Training Courses

YOGA means unity. It is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘Yuj’ which means ‘joining’. Yoga is practised to join the body, mind and soul together, therefore forming a unified spiritual whole. All the movements are natural and come from inside the body. The practice of Yoga maintains a youthful and healthy body thereby improving everything one does physically and mentally, bringing an overall gain in self-esteem.

Massage Training Courses

Massage is probably the oldest therapy known to man. Massage has grown into an art of creating and maintaining the best possible health. It aims to do this by relaxing, stimulating and invigorating mind and body. Physically it is aimed at improving the blood, muscular and nervous systems and mentally it has a calming and soothing effect.

Make-Up Courses

For qualified beauty therapists who would like to expand their knowledge of make-up application and styles and advance their skills in editorial, fashion and high definition make-up. Learn different styles of make-up and techniques used within the film and fashion industries that will provide the foundation for a broad range of contemporary or stylised looks.

Nutrition Training Courses

Diet has the distinction of being the only major determinant of health that is completely under your control. Such an opportunity to positively influence your health should not be overlooked. Learn the healing and life enhancing properties of natural foods and to the intelligent use of food supplements. Nutritional therapy is both preventative and curative.

Fitness Courses

Sports and Fitness is a natural part of human life like breathing, sleeping and eating! But as adults, our capacity and our inclination for exercise and healthy living can be eroded by sedentary jobs and lifestyles. As children, we rushed around with seemingly endless energy. As adults there is a danger of falling into the pattern of lethargy, lack of fitness and weight gain.
