COURSES
TSUBOKI FACE MASSAGE
LEVEL 1
TSUBOKI Japanese Face Massage was developed by Anne Parry, drawing on her many years of experience in the world of massage.
It is a wonderfully relaxing yet energising treatment; clients love it because it is easily accessible, yet feels like a full body massage. For therapists, it is the opportunity to offer your clients something different, and it is a treatment that is gentle on the hands and wrists - and can be performed sitting down! After massaging the neck and the face with camellia oil, we work on over 50 tsubos (acupressure points) and 8 meridians on the face before finishing with some simple lymphatic drainage techniques.
Course length: 1 day intensive plus DVD backup for home study
Timing:: 930-530 Cost: £130 including DVD. Amazingly good value for a complete new therapy!
Includes a practical and short written assessment. Following the course, on completion of 5 practice sessions you will receive a certificate of competence.
It is currently accredited with Embody as a postgraduate qualification and 10 CPD points

TSUBOKI LEVEL 2
Open to students who have completed Level 1
You will learn new points and techniques to enhance and vary your Japanese Face Massage
The day will include:
- opportunity to ask questions, troubleshooting
- Extra points on the scalp, and elsewhere on the body
- Additional techniques, some of which build on techniques learned on level 1
- Use of "ridoki", steel rollers; techniques using these traditional tools that you can incorporate into your JFM . Clients love these!
Timing: 10-5
Cost: £100 plus £15 for a pair of ridoki that you will use on the day and take home for your practice
TSUBOKI FOOT MASSAGE
TSUBOKI Foot Massage is a way of reaching the whole body through the feet - a simpler version of, or complement to Reflexology (which in fact originally came from Oriental meridian theory). After a relaxing and effective massage to the foot and lower leg, we work 33 tsubos, or acupressure points and 6 meridians on both feet. These influence the flow of energy along the meridian, and some have specific uses for common ailments. A valuable and popular tool in any therapist's repertoire.
Timing: 930-530 Cost: £130 including DVD plus £7.50 for ridoki (or bring your own)
THROUGH THE TOWEL TECHNIQUES
Add variety to your massage with techniques from Shiatsu, Pulsing, Cranio-sacral, and more - with techniques that have the added advantage of being able to be performed though the towel.
Working through the towel at the beginning of a massage has many benefits, including:
- Allows the client time to become accustomed to your touch while feeling safe - especially if it is their first time
- Allows you to use gentle but deep techniques without sliding over the skin
- Allows your hands time to warm up!
However, these techniques can also be used during, or indeed at the end of a massage
Many kinds of massage are performed through the clothes. Incorporating some of these techniques into your table massage expands your repertoire and keeps the massage interesting for you and your client.
"the most fun I've had on a course, and no sense of wasted time. So much packed in - all relevant and so patiently and enthusiastically delivered"
"I feel like I've learned a whole new therapy!"
Timing:10-5 Cost: £100
HOPI EAR CANDLING
Deeply relaxing, this treatment is often used for conditions such as headaches, glue ear, sinus problems, and by frequent flyers to avoid pain due to pressure changes. Students will learn about the history of the candles, how they work, and how to safely give a treatment, including a face massage to enhance the effect of the treatment. We use Biosun candles incorporating safety features.
Timing: 10-5 Cost:£100 plus £10 for candles used on the day
ACUPRESSURE FOR COMMON AILMENTS
Many students find that once they have been introduced to the concepts of tsubos and meridians, they want to know more. This course has been designed to complement the Japanese Face Massage course, but is also a stand alone course for personal interest - therefore there are no requirements, it is open to all.
On this day you will earn how to treat many common ailments using tools that are always to "hand" (excuse the pun!) - reduce the need for drugs and medical intervention simply by pressing and rubbing specific points on your body.
After a brief introduction to meridian theory, we will spend the day learning which acupressure points can be pressed to help such conditions as:
- Lower back pain
- Menstrual difficulties
- Tired legs
- Insomnia
And many more
This course is open to therapists and non therapists alike.
You will go away with a certificate of attendance and the knowledge to treat friends, family, clients - and yourself!
Timing: 1 day, 10-5 Cost: £100
