Ayurvedic Face Massage is possibly one of the oldest facial rejuvenation routines in the world. The massage is deeply relaxing and uses oils to encourage the removal of toxins, promote harmony and balance in the body as well as stimulating facial muscles and marma points.
The massage has many different names, including Indian Face Lift, Ayurvedic Face Lift, and Ayurvedic Facial Rejuvenation etc. Essentially they are all the same routine and all have the same effects.
The massage focuses on the head and neck and uses specific oils to release deeply held tension making the skin appear toned and healthy. It also detoxifies, stimulates circulation and enhances lymphatic drainage.

Whilst this course is aimed at people with no prior knowledge, Reflexologists will find their knowledge an advantage. You will gain a deeper understanding of the way emotional aspects and personality is reflected on the feet. The day will be very intense yet fun.

The aim of the day is to give you techniques to allow you to be able to read the emotions and personality from the feet.

Jane’s books “Let’s Read Our Feet!” and “The Foot Reading Coach” will be on sale at the seminar.

This workshop aims to allow those who have already attended 'The Art of Foot Reading' seminar to practice their knowledge in a supportive environment with an experienced foot reader on hand to answer any questions that arise from the readings. Some people attend this seminar the day after attending the theory seminar, others attend much later to fill in recognised gaps in their knowledge.

This is very much a 'hands-on' workshop. As we can’t anticipate what “feet” will show up on the day, a selection of slides have been prepared just in case we don’t have the variety required, however, after two years of running this course we’ve only had to use the slides of tattoo-ed feet!

The day will begin with an exercise to explain foot reading (to act as a refresher) and then the rest of the day will be spent reading each other’s feet and reporting back to the group the findings. You can bring and refer to your notes and books. This is your opportunity to practice and improve your skills.

If there is a particular query about something you have seen on a foot, attendees are asked to bring a good, clear photograph of about A4 size to share with the group.

The workshop has rather an unusual side-effect. You will be reading each others feet and swapping partners throughout the day. There’ll be feedback about how to deliver information, how to release emotional blockages and general coaching skills. Consequently, each reading you receive will, (as well as giving you ideas about how to do the foot readings effectively,) be sending you on your own personal journey of discovery. People look very different at the end of the day – more present and more vital.

Honey Massage
Russian Honey Massage – also sometimes known as Tibetan or Ukrainian Honey Massage - is an ancient treatment that has been practised in Asia and eastern European countries for hundreds of years.

Since the abolition of the Soviet Union, the therapy has spread to western European countries, where it has become very popular with massage therapists and in spas.

Honey is applied to the skin then massaged until it becomes sticky, then it is worked using special techniques until the consistency changes and white pellets appear on the skin surface. These pellets are believed to be toxins and salts that have been drawn from the body and have been absorbed into the honey.

In addition, beneficial nutrients from the honey are transferred to the body’s tissues and the skin is left feeling nourished and moisturised.

Cupping massage
Although most commonly associated nowadays with Chinese medicine, cupping and cupping massage has been practised in nearly every country and on every continent at one time or another, and was regularly practised in the UK until the early 1800s

By creating suction and negative pressure, cupping massage is a deep tissue massage used to stimulate the peripheral nervous system, bring blood flow to stagnant muscles, loosen adhesions and drain excess fluid and toxins.

Massage with cups still forms part of Traditional Russian massage and is used prior to performing honey massage by increasing circulation to the skin, so that toxins are more easily absorbed by the honey and the beneficial nutrients of the honey are more easily absorbed by the skin.

Another beneficial aspect of cupping massage is its use in therapist injury prevention. This method allows rest for the hands from repetitive movement and enables the therapist to get deeper without discomfort to the client or herself

Although they traditionally go together, both honey massage and cupping massage are treatments in their own right and can be used separately

The course is one day in length and will cover -
