Learn how to give a facial massage to yourself and to friends and family. Ayurveda is the ancient Indian ‘philosophy of life’ which includes massage as a means of maintaining health and wellness.

During this course you will learn about the Ayurvedic system of Doshas or constitutional types, discover your Dosha and some tips for maintaining balance and learn about Marma points or energy centres which are located throughout the body. You will learn the location of the Marma points on the face and how to give a facial massage to release stagnant energy from these areas.

Please bring a pillow or cushion, a hand towel and a large towel. If you have a facial oil that you use at home, please bring it. A selection will also be provided on the day. Please wear minimal or no make up.
There is a charge of £4 payable to the tutor on the day to cover the cost of materials.

Tea/Coffee are available to make, with a small charge. Please bring your lunch.
In order to reduce the use of single-use plastic water bottles/cups, there is a watercooler on site making it easy to refill your water bottle.
Free parking.

Please check your inbox leading up to your course, including the junk folders. For anyone without an email account, our Admissions team will phone you instead.

Courses offered by the college are fully or partly funded by the Government and the published fee takes account of this funding.

Before starting a course, the College is required to check you meet conditions relating to that funding, e.g. age, residency status within the UK/EEA, prior qualification level and employment status. In some circumstances (such as with online enrolments), these checks can only be completed after you have enrolled and paid.

If you are unable to pay in full for this course at the time of enrolment, and the course tuition fee is £300 or more, an instalment plan is available. If this is your preference, please do not enrol online but rather call the Admissions Team on 01235 216400 to enrol.

Once enrolled, Admissions will take the first instalment payment from you and pass on your details to the Finance team who will email you to set-up your payment plan. Please return a fully completed instalment plan to Finance as failure to do so could result in being withdrawn from your course.

The 19+ full fee button displays the full fee that may apply. As the rules on fee reduction are complicated, we would encourage you to talk to our Admissions Team on 01235 216400 to discuss these options. You can also visit the Course Fees & Finance page by searching 'Fees and bursaries' at the top of the page.
