Advanced Certificate Course in

Japanese Holistic Face Massage

with Rosemary Patten CThA,BT

Japanese Holistic Face Massage is a special therapeutic treatment of the face, neck, shoulders and head. Incorporating use of the Chinese meridians and acupressure points, it promotes the natural lustre of the skin as well as the harmonious balance of mind and body as a whole.

Drawing upon the principles and practices of a traditional system of medicine, the treatment was developed and refined in Japan in a similar way to natural therapies such a Shiatsu. It is informed by the time-honoured conviction that the face reflects one’s inner as well as one’s visible beauty.

This advanced weekend course places an emphasis on a hands-on, step-by-step approach to learning the principal techniques that make up Japanese Holistic Face Massage. A pleasure to both give and receive, students master the treatment by working together in pairs.
